All right, friends. The day is finally here! After years of waiting, Down Salem Way, the next installment in James and Elizabeth/Sarah's story, is now available in ebook and paperback versions from Amazon.

A number of you have asked about Down Salem Way, so here's an update. I'm pleased to report that Down Salem Way is coming along quite well. In fact, it's (slightly) ahead of schedule.

I'm sure at this point Loving Husband Trilogy fans have put Down Salem Way into a category with Big Foot, the Loch Ness Monster, and other urban legends: people want to believe in it yet no one's actually seen it, so maybe it doesn't exist after all. Rest assured, the new James and Elizabeth story … Continue reading Down Salem Way: An Excerpt

Daily Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony

March 1, 2018October 10, 2023 / Meredith Allard

How Did They Live in Colonial Massachusetts? The main reason I felt drawn to writing Down Salem Way was that there wasn’t much space to explore James and Elizabeth’s lives in 1691-1692 in Her Dear and Loving Husband. We get glimpses of that time through James and Sarah’s memories, but the focus in Her Dear … Continue reading Daily Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony

    I’ve been lucky enough to travel a little and see some different corners of the world.

  • How to Structure Your Novel When You’re a Pantster: A Guide for Discovery Writers
    I’ve said several times over the years that I’ve gone from being more focused on outlines to being more of a discovery writer. Some writers do well with an outline, and in the past, when I was less sure of … Continue reading How to Structure Your Novel When You’re a Pantster: A Guide for Discovery Writers
  • One Scene I Almost Cut From The Professor of Eventide (and Why I Kept It)
    If you’ve been writing as long as I have, you already know that every novel we write contains scenes that seem to come effortlessly as well as scenes that have to fight to survive.
