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.
John Ehle is missing.
We started this blog in 2008 with the idea that we would cover newly published novels–alerting readers to what’s new. We soon learned that readers wanted to know about the classics too. Most months 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. John Ehle is definitely on our list of writers to add to this blog.
My novel Revelation (Simon &Schuster 1988) is set in Chapel Hill, and my novel Sister India (a NY Times Notable Book of the year, Riverhead 2001) is partly in NC. Please add me to your excellent list. Thanks.
Hi Ms. Payne,
Thanks for getting in touch! We started this blog in 2008 with the idea that we would cover newly published novels–alerting readers to what’s new. We soon learned that readers wanted to know about the classics too. Most months we have just about enough manpower to keep up with newly published novels, but as time permits, we add postings for novels that were published earlier. We’ll definitely get you added to our list of authors, and hopefully will be able to blog about your novels in the near future.
