Cape Hatteras Chronicles is a series of historical fiction books focusing on
the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the surrounding mainland. Each
book has been published previously. These novels are now being brought
together as a freshly redesigned collection to offer the contemporary reader
a glimpse of life on the North Carolina coast in days gone by.
Remote doesn't begin to describe Cape Hatteras, the island off the coast
of North Carolina, where Mariah has taken a teaching job. Murfreesboro
is not that far, as the crow flies, from Hatteras Island. But in the late 1800s
the trip means a train ride, followed by several boat rides. And the windswept
island might as well be on another continent as far as the culture
goes. The accent sounds like another language and the lack of electricity
makes the night sky light up with stars as if it were a planetarium.
For all the rugged discomfort, Mariah is soon charmed by the locals.
Walking the sand paths becomes a pleasant way to explore the village.
The ocean turns out to be far less frightening when the pounding waves
lie down. Wading in the clear water is a cool balm on beastly hot days .
Return to the days when the majestic Cape Hatteras Light was fueled
by kerosene, hauled up the 268 steps in 5 gallon containers. When
storm tides regularly washed over the flats and inundated houses.
Where animals were fenced out, not in, and wild ponies roamed free.
Bronwyn Williams is the shared pen name of two sisters, Dixie Burrus Browning
and Mary Burrus Williams. Descended from two lighthouse keepers and one
pirate, these ninth generation Outer Banks natives grew up steeped in seafaring
traditions. Their historical fiction lets the reader experience life on a barrier
island as it was in the days of their grandparents and great grandparents
