"The World Turned Upside Down" takes readers on an exhilarating journey through one of history's most transformative periods.

​This masterful work of historical fiction follows the audacious British-American colonists, known as the Founders, as they boldly rise against the mightiest empire of their time: England. Their unprecedented struggle challenged the status quo and reshaped the foundation of global politics and human rights, ushering in the era of democracy. As the narrative unfolds with rich, immersive detail and dynamic characters, the story poses a profound question: after securing their hard-won liberty, could they preserve and nurture the fragile promise of a new world?

This compelling tale captures the spirit of revolution and the enduring quest for freedom.

Seth Irving Handaside

Growing up in Putnam County in the town of Putnam Valley, named after General Israel Putnam, Seth Irving Handaside walked its roads.

He explored the hills and valleys that American rebels tread. But, he often thought, what would have done when the head of the state, King George III of England, ignored his rights and the rule of law?

Would he have marched to the tune of the revolution and been in a regiment commanded by General Putnam or sided with the loyalists?

Fascinated by American history since elementary school, politics runs in his veins. He has spent the last ten years researching and reading about the founding fathers and settled on six men, three boys not yet twenty, and three Virginians who risked having their necks stretched to make the American dream a reality.

Book of the Week: A Phoenix Rising by Vivienne Brereton

A Phoenix Rising

The House of the Red Duke, Book #1

by Vivienne Brereton

Thomas Howard is a born survivor. A passionate man who’s never forgotten his past love, flame-haired Matilda.

As a seasoned courtier, he knows how to play the royal game in a bid to become titled, wealthy, and wildly successful. And have the world at his feet.

***Amazon 5* review: ‘I’ve been reading Tudor fiction for 34 years, and this book is quite unique to anything I have read before.’***

Explosive secrets swirl around four young people on either side of the Narrow Sea whose lives are entwined together in the manner of an intricate Tudor tapestry.

In Cornwall, England, Cecily is leading a contented life.

in France. Valentine, Tristan, and Nicolas all live not far from Calais.

“Nicolas laid his lute to one side, hardly bothering to stifle a yawn of boredom. Nevertheless, he couldn’t escape the fact that he’d agreed to take on a new wife.”

Thomas is a respected statesman, soldier, and diplomat with valuable inside knowledge of the powerful courts of Europe.

But he knows the stakes are extraordinarily high. One false step in these glittering, candlelit places of love, knightly display, dancing, dining, and desire, can be costly … even fatal.

The shadowy corridors of power aren’t for the faint of heart, being inhabited by exotic creatures, as likely to pounce on their prey as to preen.

Above all, Thomas is loyal to the death to any crowned king of England, whether a Lancastrian, Yorkist or Tudor. He wears his fidelity close to his heart like a badge of honour.

He vows to create a powerful family dynasty, using strong sons and beautiful daughters to play a part in his grand scheme.

But little by little, the deeds of the past begin to collide with those of the present.

What will happen if all the family secrets are finally revealed?

Praise for A Phoenix Rising:

"From the moment I picked this book up, I was enthralled and the story was so well written that I simply had to keep reading.
Brereton weaves a fascinating story of several famous houses which lived during the Tudor age, including the Howards, Stewarts, Boleyns and of course the famous Tudors. If you are looking for a new fiction series that will draw you in and keep you wanting more than this is certainly the book for you!"
