About RIBBONS OF SCARLET: A Novel of the French Revolution(Coming October 1, 2019)
Ribbons of Scarlet is a timely story of the power of women to start a revolutionâand change the world.
Blue-blooded Sophie de Grouchy believes in democracy, education, and equal rights for women, and marries the only man in Paris who agrees. Emboldened to fight the injustices of King Louis XVI, Sophie aims to prove that an educated populace can govern itself--but one of her students, fruit-seller Louise Audu, is hungrier for bread and vengeance than learning. When the Bastille falls and Louise leads a womenâs march to Versailles, the monarchy is forced to bend, but not without a fight. The kingâs pious sister Princess Elisabeth takes a stand to defend her brother, spirit her family to safety, and restore the old order, even at the risk of her head.
In late eighteenth-century France, women do not have a place in politics. But as the tide of revolution rises, women from gilded salons to the streets of Paris decide otherwiseâupending a world order that has long oppressed them.

But when fanatics use the newspapers to twist the revolutionâs ideals into a new tyranny, even the women who toppled the monarchy are threatened by the guillotine. Putting her faith in the pen, brilliant political wife Manon Roland tries to write a way out of Franceâs blood-soaked Reign of Terror while pike-bearing Pauline Leon and steely Charlotte Corday embrace violence as the only way to save the nation. With justice corrupted by revenge, all the women must make impossible choices to survive--unless unlikely heroine and courtesanâs daughter Emilie de Sainte-Amaranthe can sway the man who controls Franceâs fate: the fearsome Robespierre.
