Starting in Jamestown



The book, AMERICAN ROOTS 1585-1607 takes place mainly in Jamestown, Virginia. But, it starts in Roanoke, the Lost Colony of Virginia and the first attempt of making a permanent English settlement in America, the New World.
Jamestown is the first permanent English Settlement in the United States of America. It dates prior to Plymouth, Massachusetts.
Hence, Jamestown is the birthplace of the U.S.

Aurora Movie Shootings (Or Massacre)



The victims, families, and friends of everyone in the Aurora Movie Shootings are in my thoughts and prayers.May the Lord be with you and bless you at this time (and always).
Denver, Colorado is my home. I might live in the birthplace of the United States, but Colorado is home. It is where I will return when my husband retires in the years to come. My husband and I were there earlier this month--visiting family and friends. We went by that specific movie theatre numerous times...
Also, my husband and I were there for Columbine. (Hence, it means a great deal that the same man who made the crosses for Columbine made them again for this tragedy. Wow.)
This is something very near and dear to our hearts...
A senseless act of violence by a premeditated madman. He did not snap. It was thoroughly planned and thought out.
May justice be seen and done. May the families and friends get answers. Lord, bless Colorado. Again. Amen.
We are--Colorado!
Please pause for a moment of silence and prayer. We will never forget.

What If?

What if you could trace your ancestors back to the United States of America and the year 1585?
What about 1607?
What about several people of your family from 1607?
That's precisely what I, Stacy--the author, have done. That is what the historical fiction series of: FAMILY TREEZ SERIES and the 1st book, AMERICAN ROOTS 1585-1607, is about.
Stay tuned.
