Life in a Medieval Village

The main story is complete. My new novel, The Nineteenth-Century Seamstress, is next and now underway! Blurb for Life in a Medieval Village: Annie transmigrated to the Middle Ages. And became the daughter of a down-and-out knight. Her father died while herding sheep, her mother was disabled, and her younger siblings were still little. The family crowded into a leaky house with bare walls. They wove wool day and night, but could only afford black bread mixed with bran. Annie kept bees and hunted, planning to save enough money to raise chickens. Later, she became a lord. Reader's Guide: Food + daily life + business management New novel: The Nineteenth-Century Seamstress Blurb: She transmigrated into a Western novel as a supporting female character with a tragic fate. Before Eloise lay Manhattan, New York, in the Gilded Age. At the end of the nineteenth century, the city was a dazzling world of luxury, with a bustling harbor. But the original Eloise was still a little girl, living with her younger brother at her aunt's house. Five people crammed into one small room. The walls leaked, the floor was falling apart, and the wind howled through the window. After paying the weekly rent, they couldn't afford coal or flour. Every meal was just boiled potatoes, and the whole family couldn't scrape together three pairs of leather shoes. Eloise looked out at the howling snowstorm and fretted. She didn't even own a warm scarf. She made a plan to return to the trade she had practiced in her previous life. First, she would sew a garment warm enough to protect her from the cold. * Seamstress & banker Not based on any existing work A journal of a working-class New Yorker An imagined nineteenth century Business management Food Farming Theme: Be a good person.
