The Irish Lass: A Sweet Romance Novella of 1700s Colonial America

The Captivating Tale of Christina O'Donovan in 1700s Colonial America

In 1773, Christina O'Donovan's beloved older brother had passed away, and her father, a veteran of the French and Indian War, was injured and unable to manage the family farm. Reluctantly, Christina agreed to a marriage with a local miner who worked at the Simsbury copper mines. This courtship was a mere business transaction, devoid of any genuine affection.

However, the unexpected accident that befell Seth, as he unexpectedly slipped and fell while descending a ladder he had traversed countless times before, drew Christina into a maze of subterfuge she could never have imagined. At the center of this web stood William Johnson Crawford, a man from New Hampshire who would forever alter the course of her life.

"Newgate Prison Copper Mines and the The Irish Lass - A 1700s Colonial America Sweet Romance Novella" is a historical series set around the real-life copper mines in Simsbury, Connecticut. By the late 1700s, these mines had been exhausted, and they were then converted into the infamous Newgate Prison, one of the earliest federal attempts in the new United States to incarcerate dangerous individuals.

These mines held a notorious reputation, spawning vivid newspaper accounts and instilling fear among the Tories who faced the prospect of being detained there. The history and characters presented in this series are as authentic as the author can make them, with William Johnson Crawford being a documented figure from that era.

Readers have the flexibility to either read the novellas as they are released or wait until the complete boxed set is available. Some prefer the anticipation of experiencing the story as it unfolds, while others prefer to immerse themselves in the full narrative at once.

The author welcomes any questions or feedback from readers and invites them to plan a visit to the Newgate site, where they can descend into the historic copper mines and truly feel the essence of the past.
