Tales from the Tip of an Era

With the Industrial Revolution and  the birth of a middle-class, some seized  opportunities while others struggled for survival.

​

​

I write true stories of everyday heroes who faced extraordinary circumstances with the audacity that defined the Victorian and Edwardian era.  Of adventurers, larger-than-life men and women, and ordinary people finding their way in a world that was tipping into the technologically-driven modern era. Of lives shaped by events and the mysterious forces of chance more powerful than us all.  

​

Like us they tried to overcome their weaknesses, wrestled with their personal demons and played their cards as best they could.
