Historical fiction is my passion. I so love bringing histories to life - the reason I dedicate most of my time to writing historical fiction books! Storm Clouds Rolling In is the very first book in the ongoing Bregdan Chronicles historical novel series. It's readers like you who have turned it into a world-wide best-seller. Thank you! Book Description: Carrie Cromwell comes of age as the dark clouds of the Civil War swallow the country. Born with a fiery spirit and a strong mind, she finds herself struggling between the common wisdom of the South and the truth she has discovered. The activities of the Underground Railroad and her close friendships with the Cromwell Plantation slaves create difficult choices. But when her decisions put her at odds with her heritage, and challenge her dreams, will she be able to give up all that is precious to her? This first book of The Bregdan Chronicles historical fiction series will pull you in and never let you go. You'll experience the Civil War era (and all the years to come) through the eyes of both White and Black, free & slave, Southern & Northern - and you'll fall in love with every character.How many books will be in the Bregdan Chronicles? You'll have to ask God about that... I intend to write these character's stories, one year at a time, for as long as I'm able to write. I'm passionate about bringing history to life through historical fiction. Since I'm amazingly healthy, that could be for a very long time! I don't like stories to end any more than you do. This one won't end for a very long time! Review: What a wonderful role model for women of all ages. Ginny Dye's cast of characters are the kind of people you'd like to know personally. Her leading lady, Carrie Cromwell is not your typical 'Southern Belle'; she's a free thinker, ahead of her time in a world of war and madness. Our author is not afraid to use divine, spiritual beliefs to bring common sense and sanity to the backward, inhumane thinking of the times leading up to the Civil War. The fact that these characters, now friends, will be with us for more than one historical fiction book, is something to look foward to. Now into book four, with many more to come, I'll be reading the entire epic for as long as our author can write and I can read !! Review: Really enjoyed this book. I'm not usually a reader of American historical fiction, but this one was terrific. I couldn't put the book down. I can't wait to read the next one.

Volume #12 of the Bregdan Chronicles continues the sweeping historical saga that now encompasses the fourth year of American Reconstruction.

Driven from his home by the Ku Klux Klan and still reeling from the death of his mother, Nathan moves with his father and grandfather to the desolate Pea Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina to start a new life. Fortunately, life on Pea Island at the end of the 19th century is far from quiet. The other island residents include the surfmen--the African American crew of the nearby U.S. Life-Saving Station--and soon Nathan is lending an extra hand to these men as they rescue sailors from sinking ships. Working and learning alongside the courageous surfmen, Nathan begins to dream of becoming one himself. But the reality of post-Civil War racism starts to show itself as he gradually realizes the futility of his dream. And then another dream begins to take shape, one that Nathan refuses to let anyone take from him.

A storm and its sunny aftermath come to life through gorgeous art and lyrical text. What do you do when the clouds roll in, When the wind chimes clang and the weather vanes spin? When stormy skies threaten, people stock up on supplies, bring in their outside toys, and check the news for updates. And during the storm, if the power goes out, they can play games and tell stories by candlelight. But what do animals do? They watch and listen, look for a cozy den or some other sheltered spot, and hunker down to wait. After the storm, while the people are cleaning up their yards, making repairs, and checking on the neighbors, the animals emerge from their hiding places and shake off the rain. And everyone is happy to be out in the sunshine again, grateful for better weather and the company of friends.

Review: This was a wonderful series with historical facts carefully woven into the story of the Cromwell family and all who relate to them. I'm anxious for the author to write the final year of the war. I understand it will be called "The Long Last Night" and I want it soon! Thanks for an excellent read. Review: The Bregdan Chronicles are a great historical fiction read. You learn a lot about American History and at the same time you get emotionally involved and interested in the characters. So much so that you look forward to the next book in the series!
