One Copper Penny: Four Tales of the People Who Actually Did the Work is a historical fiction anthology exploring the unsung, grit-fueled individuals behind major historical milestones and everyday triumphs. Across four distinct eras, the stories follow:
1. Sheamus O'Donnell (1804-1806): An Irish scout wading through mud and dodging grizzlies days ahead of Lewis & Clark to clear the path and make treaties.
2. PFC Jack Garrett (1942): A small, sharp-witted Kentucky soldier in WWII who accidentally bluffs the German High Command while submerged in sauerkraut and escaping on a bicycle.
3. Billy Ray Vance (1994): A laid-off Peoria teen who silences his inner slacker, fixes his Camaro's thrown rod, and steps up to real adulthood at a heavy diesel repair shop.
4. Unit 7-B / Barnaby (1792 / 2030): An autonomous construction robot thrust into 18th-century Salem, learning from a local blacksmith what it means to build with purpose.
