About the Author

Welcome to my WordPress site, where I am developing a novel about the life of the early quakers, in particular one Thomas Lightfoot. I will also share how the seeds of the United States of America as we know it today, along with its Constitution and the Bill of Rights, were planted by the likes of early movement founders George Fox and George Whitehead.

Also, I want to point out that this is a story about youth activism. As I write the scenes evoking the early days of the movement, they resonate with today’s youthful voices all around the world. Often these voices are dismissed, but when you read about the powerful impacts of the young people in this story, I hope you will see the symmetry with events on television.

And now, as we approach the 250th anniversary of our founding, I invite you to come along for the ride. Your comments are welcome, although I ask that you keep them sweet. If there is something I’ve gotten wrong, let me know…sweetly.
