247 years ago today, a group of angry men confronted two of the Crown's officials--a sheriff and his deputy--at the Pine Tree Inn in Weare, New-Hampshire.

The assailants had been charged with holding timber that had been cut in violation of the Mast Act, which claimed as Crown property any tree suitable for use as a ship's mast, regardless of whose land it stood on.

Hearing that the sheriff and deputy head come out to arrest them, the scofflaws decided to take matters into their own hands, severely beating both Crown officers and tying them to their mutilated horses.

Later known as the Pine Tree Riot, this outbreak of violence was one of the many acts of defiance against Crown authority as resentment and anger over colonial rule approached the breaking point in the town green of Lexington a few years later.

Today I launch my book of New-Hampshire, the heartfelt tale of Abe Sawyer, a young man suddenly orphaned and trying to make his way with only his eccentric aunt and a new friendship with the odd, but alluring Betty. He faces the heavy hand of the Crown officers' abuse of their positions head-on, and must navigate both his aunt's intrigues and Betty's strange and disturbing history to step into his new role in life.

The Tree is available everywhere in ebook, paperback, and (any day now) audiobook. I can't wait to hear what you think of it!
