    Cottonwood AZ (October 23, 2013) – Family history and the inscription on an ancestor’s headstone inspired longtime Arizona resident, Joy Pennock Gage, to write her eighteenth book, The Patriot and the Plough. She is a descendant of the Pennock family of Vermont, some of whom fought in the Revolutionary War. Her latest historical novel will be released Nov. 6 by Rook Publishing and will be available through Amazon or directly from the publishers at sales@rookpublishing.com.

    20131023_bookcoverThe book spans the time period from 1775 through 1781 and captures the struggles of a Loyalist town that eventually supports the Patriot cause. Gage, who also teaches and mentors writers internationally, said, “All good stories involve conflict. The Patriot and the Plough is set against the backdrop of the struggles for our nation’s independence from England. On a very rainy day, I visited the old Strafford, Vermont cemetery to see an ancestor’s headstone on which was engraved, ‘Let it be remembered that this family was the first that broke the soil in this town, 1768.’”

He has fresh energy and is light on his feet. He’s smart, confident and slick. He has snap. Crackle and Pop. He is young. A successful businessman and fearless. He is like a young Trump apprentice, full of vim and vigor and ready to rumble. Everyone else on the debate stage appeared dull, cranky or lifeless. Halley looked like she was suffering from a terminal case of constipation and badly needs a wardrobe manager. Christie looked like someone who bit into an apple, found a half-eaten worm, and decided to eat it anyway. DeSantis just keeps getting more and more boring; a somnambulist on Percocet. Scott looked like a misogynistic woman beater talking over Haley. Pence looked like an undertaker at his own funeral. Burgum, who? Read more→
