Readers love series. Historical fiction fans especially love sagas that stretch across time. The books within the Bregdan Chronicles have all been released as Best Sellers on Amazon. Right now, there are fourteen books in this series, but many more are coming. I am committed to releasing at least two books a year. There will be at least twenty titles in the Bregdan Chronicles. When I have covered the time period from 1860 – 1878, the series will pick up again in 1915 – with the series title, The Bregdan Saga – that will continue with 10+ books through the mid 1920’s with descendants of the Bregdan characters. It will continue again in the 1950’s through the series title, The Bregdan Sequel. My readers are incredibly loyal. I have over 100,000 in my social media accounts, and close to 20,000 on my email list that I communicate with on a bi-weekly basis.

Reviews

Review: I'm so excited Glimmers of Change (Book 7) is finally released! These characters have become like family and I feel like I've been out of touch with my "family" while waiting on this release. Ginny is a wonderful writer and brings each character to life. When one character is affected, I feel as though my own family is suffering along. Sometimes when I'm talking with friends, I begin to share the trauma or crisis and then realize, "Oh, that's not my real family!" We have a chuckle and move on. I downloaded Glimmers of Change just after it's release last night. I'm on Chapter 4 now. I'm contemplated "pretending to be sick" so I can curl up and put all my daily responsibilities aside and read the entire book - hopefully without distractions. Thanks Ginny! You are a prized writer and are much appreciated!


Review: The word glimmer can be defined as a flicker, a flash, or even a twinkle. I like the glow of a twinkle! At first it was difficult for me to understand what a “glimmer of change” can be? After finishing the book I then understood its more about the “how” changes take place. "Change” can quickly and dynamically alter one’s path in life as events unfold. Being hopeful for a new life—growing stronger and confident—following one’s dreams can all be subtle insights or glimmers we are gifted with as we grow through the struggles or complications or just daily interactions of our lives. Each of the books in this series has inspired me with great joy and wisdom in navigating the events of my life.

The reconstruction years following the Civil War changed how people lived. These years were not even on my radar as far as imagining how events took place following so much loss of life, the rebuilding of the economy, and unfortunately experiencing racism and inequalities. I also was inspired by the shared passion and unity of stakeholders in fighting for equality. What I learned about myself is that I am not passionate enough to support issues existing in my world today! (I saw a glimmer for change).

The ensemble cast of characters demonstrated much growth in this year. Children were born, new love interests were uncovered, and the cruelty of racism and hatred made me almost physically sick. The descriptive artistry of the author’s passages placed me curbside—watching the unnecessary slaughtering of life in Memphis and New Orleans. I fact-checked these events and I am so pleased to report that the author not only captured factual details of these riots but she connected me to that time period as the characters I have grown to love were integrated into these events.

I never imagined reading seven books in so little time. I never expected to receive such joy from reading and yet I am so happy I am learning about this time in history, learning about myself, and being inspired to be more passionate about current issues in my life.
