The Twisted Road Of One Writer: The Birth of The Bregdan Chronicles
# 13 in the Bregdan Chronicles Historical Fiction Romance Series
by Ginny Dye
Description
This is not an actual continuation of The Bregdan Chronicles. It is an answer to the constant request to know how The Bregdan Chronicles started. If you're not interested, you can move ahead to more Bregdan adventures in Book # 14 - Misty Shadows of Hope.
Some days stand out in your mind so clearly that you can remember every moment.
You can remember every smell. Every thought you had. Every word that someone says.
You remember that the sky was cloudless, and the day was hot and thick with humidity. You remember it was a day that totally changed what you believed your life would be.
I had one of those days… My story of being a writer begins the day I vowed I would never write.
I’m going to warn you now that this book is not going to be a “straight line journey”. I don’t believe anyone’s life is a straight journey. I believe we all travel many twisted roads to get to where we are right now. We experience things we don’t believe are significant – only appreciating their significance years later when we are able to look back and see how each event fits into the grand puzzle of our complicated lives. It could be that my journey is more twisted than most, but if that is true it’s what was necessary to prepare me to write.
I savor and appreciate every moment now; even the ones I thought would destroy me.
I truly never thought I would never write this book because I am a very private person. A conversation with the person I trust most in the world convinced me to change my mind. She convinced me my readers deserved to hear the story of just how The Bregdan Chronicles came to be.
You’ll learn about the day I decided to never write again. And, the bedridden period of my life that finally made me write my first book.
You’ll learn about my years of living with a prejudiced family, enduring the bigotry and rioting of the Charlotte school system in the 60’s & 70’s, and my defiance that taught me the truth.
You’ll learn the family secret that almost devastated me when I discovered it. You’ll learn just why I decided to write about the Civil War & Reconstruction.
You’ll learn how long The Bregdan Chronicles will last. Maybe. I’m not sure I know!
You’ll journey the twisted roads of my life that have led me to now. And, you’ll learn the most important reason I’ve decided to make my life an open book to my readers…
My readers are part of my family. I look forward to sharing the adventure of this book with you!
Blessings, Ginny Dye

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.

Review: What a fabulous read! Ginny is an amazing writer. I have read all 12 of her books in The Brendan Chronicles and have loved them all! I just finished reading #13, The Twisted Road Of One Writer, which is not a continuation of the series. Ginny tells her own story. She writes about how she came to write The Bregdan Chronicles, about the characters, the Civil War, what it means to be a Bregdan Woman and so much more. I chuckled when I read about how she keeps track of all of the characters as that is something that I have always wondered about and…..now I know. I throughly enjoyed learning so much about Ginny, her love of the great outdoors, her dreams of a better, kinder world, a world where we are all equals. She shares with us the things she is most passionate about and about her own family history. You can feel her struggle in dealing with her own health issues and her strength and fortitude to become healthy again. Having read this book, I feel as though I have actually met Ginny and that we are good friends. We haven’t met, of course but regardless, I feel as though we have. What a remarkable woman and definitely someone I respect and admire. I am in awe of everything she has accomplished and how much she continues to do so. Thank you, Ginny for being a voice for all those in need, for making a difference and showing us how we can strive to do the same. I am so looking forward to #14 of The Bregdan Chronicles, Misty Shadows of Hope. I have no doubt that it will be amazing!
Review: Your life is a spectacular, glorious, testament of a well lived, appreciated, humble, giving, loving, bold, determined to succeed, Listening to the Spirit's whisper, trusting and not judging and Truly being a Bregdan Woman. Thank you for taking the bold step to share your life with your readers. Thanks for challenging us to be better, do better because through knowledge we know better. Thank you for letting us know that dreams can come true. We can't stop pumping the well until the water flows or until our dreams become reality. Your funny yet inspiring way of daring us to step up, makes me more determined to follow the path to fulfill my purpose. The Bregdan Woman in you makes me proud to be a Bregdan Woman too! In this day and time we need to bring each other up, look for the positive and discover the blessed gifts we have and share that with the world. I Love how you do that everyday, and in your books!

She has managed horse ranches in Texas and Oregon; worked with teenagers all over the country (she loves them!), and has hiked, biked, rafted and played in every locale she could. She loves all the beaches, deserts, woods, and mountains she has traveled through but when she discovered Washington, she discovered home. Her heart is at home there with the snow covered mountains; the glistening waters of the Pacific; the eagles and Orca whales; the towering fir trees surrounding her home; and the miles of trails on her own Magic Mountain. Everywhere she looks inspires her to be all she can be - to follow and achieve all the dreams of her heart! She managed to write and publish 50 books along the way. She enjoys writing many different genres but admits Historical Fiction is her favorite. She is quite sure she will never live long enough to write all her heart and mind holds, but she certainly intends to try! She is also the Founder of Millions For Positive Change.
