Hello all-

I saw a link to this site on Absolute Write posted by Julianne Douglas.

My name is Christine Blevins. I am a reader/writer of historical fiction, with a debut novel recently published by Berkley/Penguin titled MIDWIFE OF THE BLUE RIDGE. My second novel will be published in April - set during the American Revolution - it is titled THE TORY WIDOW.

Although I am a little partial to American History, I do enjoy reading any time period and place, and I am happy to be a member of this board. :


In my blundering around, I somehow posted this in the wrong area. Moving it now to "Introduce Yourself" <sorry!>

Hello and welcome to the group, Christine. Hope you enjoy it here.

I wish you well with your book. I'm from the UK so don't know whether your book will be published here but will look out for it.

Hello Ms. Blevins!

I saw your interview on reading the past. Loved it! As someone who wishes to write historical fiction novels set in America you've given me hope :)

Looking forward to reading your novel.

Welcome Christine....Looking forward to reading your novels....It's one of my favorite eras in American History.....I hope you will give us a chance to read a excerpt from "The Tory Widow" The Tory's side of the story needs to be told....After reading Kenneth Robert's "Oliver Wiswell"...I now appreciate and have a better understanding of the Tory side of the American Revolution...

Welcome to the community, Christine! Midwife of the Blue Ridge looks like a definite read for me since I live in SC at the foot of the Blue Ridge and am extremely interested in its history.

[Christine Blevins]

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

Hello and welcome! I thought your name looked familiar, and then realised it's because I read your interview on Reading the Past yesterday.
