Historical Fiction That Grabs Your Heart and Feeds Your Soul
My name is Elaine Marie Cooper and I am an author and complete history geek.
My focus in writing is creating historical fiction set in the American Revolution. My book shelves are filled with volumes about the Revolutionary War. My goal in my novels is to discover little known events that occurred during that war and create characters who are caught up in these life-changing situations. Occasionally, my fictitious characters even run into actual persons who were a part of this war that birthed America. So sit back and read my blogs and learn with me as I investigate the triumph and tragedies of our fledgling nation. And I hope my books are a blessing to you!
NEW RELEASE!!
My recent fiction release, Scarred Vessels, a Historical Romance, focuses on Rhode Island and the black soldiers in the American Revolution.
