Jenny Wheeler is convinced there is no better time than now to be a woman, but if she was faced with making a second choice it would be 1860’s California – the setting for her historical mystery series Of Gold & Blood.
Nearly twenty years after the 1849 Gold Rush brought thousands upon thousands of (mainly) men into California on the greatest adventure of their lives, the energy, the thirst for excitement remained, but the rough frontier had become a maritime colony; “urban, cosmopolitan, and resembling nothing else in the Far West,” (Kevin Starr, Americans and the California Dream, 1850 – 1915. Oxford University Press.) A place where women had the chance to pursue their dreams with more freedom than (arguably) anywhere else in the civilized world.
Jenny loves the stories that came to be spun from the region that was “the cutting edge of the American dream,” (Kevin Starr again) and she’s busily creating those stories with as much passion as those ’49ers chased after gold nuggets!

Sisters of Barclay Square
|
Posey Barclay's family fortune hangs by a thread, with vengeful stockholders circling like vultures.
Her only hope is brilliant lawyer Silas Williams—the man she once refused to marry.
But when Silas abruptly abandons her case, Posey realizes a sinister force is at work, one that could cost them both everything.
Sydney, 1869: As vengeful stockholders threaten to strip everything from Posey Barclay and her family, only one man stands between them and ruin—the brilliant and principled lawyer, Silas Williams. But when Silas abruptly withdraws from the case, Posey knows something is terribly wrong. A newly appointed judge with a mysterious connection to Silas's past has arrived, bringing with him long-buried secrets of murder and revenge.
As Posey delves deeper, she uncovers a web of blackmail that forces Silas to choose between winning her case and protecting her life. At the center of it all lies a haunting painting of a murdered young girl—a key to the past that Silas refuses to discuss.
With powerful adversaries closing in, Posey must unravel the truth and decide if her growing feelings for Silas are strong enough to overcome the forces determined to tear them apart.
Set against the glittering backdrop of Gold Rush-era Sydney, Posey's Peril is the second book in the thrilling Sisters of Barclay Square series. This historical mystery celebrates the resilience of the female spirit and the power of unexpected love, perfect for fans of action-packed historical drama, deep family secrets, and wholesome second-chance romance.
