18thcentury Stories

When Abigail Hastings is torn from London's glittering ballrooms and forced aboard a merchant vessel, she's determined to find her way back to the life she was promised-at any cost. But the Atlantic Ocean has other plans. As storms rage and pirates threaten, Abigail discovers that survival demands more than silk gowns and social graces. It requires courage she never knew she possessed. Eric Bailey has spent six months recovering from betrayal, and now he's finally returning to the Caribbean to expose the naval captain who left him and his crewmates for dead. The last thing he needs is to play protector to a spoiled aristocrat who thinks the world should bow to her whims. But when the captain assigns him to guard Miss Hastings, Eric finds himself drawn to the fire beneath her icy facade. As the voyage grows more perilous and the distance between their worlds seems insurmountable, he must choose between the justice he's sworn to seek and the woman who's beginning to steal his heart.

A tale of intergenerational BIID over centuries. In prep school I became a close friend of Brian Meadows. His mobility impairment was obvious. Over time its cause became evident as he described a peculiar turn of mind shared by generations of privileged ancestors whose story reaches back well into 18th century France. This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to persons or situations other than those that are clearly general knowledge is pure coincidence. The story is excerpted and adapted from my much longer novel "Buddies." I hope you will enjoy reading it as much as I have writing it.

Isobel Marie Beauchamp-Randall was never meant to be a simple housewife. Born in Oldham, Greater Manchester, England, she was the younger sister of Claire-and often referred to as an outsider because of her fiery red hair. Many whispered that her mother had an affair with a Scottish man, but the truth was simpler: Isobel was just blessed with striking, untamable hair. Tragedy struck when a regrettable incident claimed the lives of her entire family, leaving Isobel alone in the world. Years later, at just 22, she married and became an army nurse, honoring her older sister's dream of helping others. But nothing could prepare her for what came next. Torn from her own time and hurled back 200 years to the year 1743, Isobel must navigate a dangerous new world-and face the man who will soon become her husband. Jamie Fraser x FemOC Season 1 - TBD

Wendell Chestna is the complete package; he's a beautiful prince with riches and has not a fault inside of him. A made-up fantasy because of his royal position, but he is only human. A high title doesn't just produce false assumptions, but it's quite difficult to determine the sincerity of people's kindness. His father's recent death after a long war leaves Wendell in a stressful predicament. Their law dictates the eldest son must claim the throne upon reaching seventeen years of age, which he will turn in the next three months. Making matters even worse, his mother sets an arranged marriage with some nobleman's daughter. This union would grant them an ally in this nation, all at the cost of her hand, but she is not the girl Wendell plans to wed. Instead, he hopes to make a sweet peasant-one who dwells in the poorest village-his lifelong companion, Kana Littleton. Queen Althelia proposes a simple deal. If the lovestruck boy can get a favorable answer before the set time limit, he is free to espouse her over Blanche. These conditions are generous enough; however, will Kana accept him for the right reasons? Is her love a pure, honest emotion from within or only swayed by his status and wealth? Under a foreign boy persona, Wendell will discover if they're truly meant to marry. But as lies start piling up to conceal his double life, whose heart is really being put to the test? Meanwhile, another war thought to have ended is slowly approaching...

"His genius was very rich, and ran much upon poetry, in which he excelled. But alas! In the issue. Wine and Love were the ruin of this ingenious Gentleman." John Dunton (1659 - 1733) English bookseller and author, writing of Benjamin Bridgewater. INTRODUCTION This completed story will form one full episode of a larger, historical fact/fiction work. The story here relates to Benjamin, one of my many Bridgewater ancestors. These early forebears include: Benjamin: the current subject, a rogue black sheep of the family (for every family has at least one in their closet) who was a London Lawyer of the Middle Temple, a writer, poet and all round bad 'un. In later years, the sad life of this once promising Cambridge scholar spiralled in an ever downward direction to the dark abyss. Henry: an Elizabethan Gentleman, who named in his Will a titled Lady who was a favourite of Queen Elizabeth I (the Virgin Queen), and whom Her Majesty affectionately called 'My Black Crow'. Nathaniel: a Gentleman and servant to Charles Seymour, 6th Duke of Somerset (known as 'The Proud Duke'). One of Nathaniel's many rôles was as 'Waiter on the Robes' to Queen Anne. Thomas: a Master Joiner/Carver, an example of whose handsome ornamental work can be seen to this day on the wooden pulpit inside the famous London church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Benjamin: (father of Benjamin above), who was a Freeman Citizen of The Worshipful Company of Dyers and elected to the Court of Common Council. Roger: an 18th century actor who performed with the celebrated players of the day at the Covent Garden and Drury Lane Theatres in London. Extracts from the 1697 Calves-Head Club anthem and the poem on Mary II are the contemporary works of Benjamin Bridgewater. The Epistle to him is by his contemporary, John Tutchin. There is 'A readers' abridged FAMILY TREE of Benjamin Bridgewater', at the end of this work, which may help with your journey through his story.

Well, this story has nothing to do with the regular, classic ones, its quite different. It all started in the 18th century, more precisely in 1773, where Anastasia, an 18 years old girl has her own beliefs and thoughts, which are completely different compared to girls at her age, she was forced to live an abnormal life, because of the hidden truth, and once she moves to Birmingham, her entire life, beliefs and principles went upside down. The more mysterious her life gets, the more she loses herself in an infinity of lost thoughts. •Will Anastasia be saved? • Will she finally find her safe asylum? •Is she going to be able to face her deepest family lies and secrets? •Will she find the key to gain back her own happiness? Or will she just accept and yield to her darkest destiny?

1698, Caracas outpost. A black galleon lay idly in the water as the sun began to cast shades of red and orange over the horizon. The port's activity was beginning to die down for the day; harbor masters would soon begin heading towards their homes, and crews would be finishing loading their goods into their respective ships. A hooded man dressed in black leather strolled away from the large galleon, flanked by two men similarly dressed, although less intricately adorned as the group's lead. A group of flamboyant merchants followed close behind. They had just finished the preliminary trade dealings of the sugar the galleon had brought in from the plantations of Jamaica, payment for the security of Fort Julia the past month. The ship was called the Ebon Hawk, and it belonged to a band of privateers led by Sebastian Kenway, an orphan who was mentored by an old and skilled sailor in the ways of seamanship and weaponry. This is the journey of the Hawk and the crew it carries.
