    People! Great list, but you have omitted a terrific writer of many historical novels set in North Carolina!

    Inglis Fletcher wrote —
    The Scotswoman
    Lusty Wind for Carolina
    Bennett’s Welcome
    Roanoke Hundred
    Raleigh’s Eden
    Queen’s Gift
    Toil of the Brave
    Men of Albemarle
    The Wind in the Forest
    Cormorant’s Brood
    Rogue’s Harbor
    and perhaps others

    – all set in 17th and 18th century North Carolina and written with great attention to detail and authenticity, based on Ms. Fletcher’s extensive historical research. From 1944 on, she lived in Edenton, where many events in her novels occur, among other locations in eastern North Carolina.

    She was a very popular writer, and surely ought to be included on your lists! I grew up in Chapel Hill in the 60s and 70s, and most of what I know about colonial NC history, I learned from these books!

    Thanks!

    Yes, Ms. Fletcher was a master of historical novels. Right now we have just about enough manpower to keep up with newly published novels. As time permits, we add postings for novels that were published earlier. Ms. Fletcher is definitely on our list of writers to add to this blog. We should have a few of her novels up before the fall. Thank you for your comment.
