Award winning author J.A.Snow has experimented throughout her lifetime with different genres; in everything from mainstream and mysteries to poetry and the supernatural. But she has finally found her "niche" as she puts it. After compiling hundreds of years of history on her own family tree, she recently embarked on an incredible journey; writing a set of novels based entirely on her own ancestors. Her first series, An American Family, follows her paternal line all the way from medieval, rural England, taking readers through the bloody streets of London during Tudor times and sailing on to Plymouth, Massachusetts with the original Pilgrims. In America, the family survives several wars, devastating epidemics and, finally, migrates westward from their home on colonial Cape Cod to find their destiny in the Great Plains through the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl of 1934. Her second series, The Viking Sagas, took off with a fiery start with A Dynasty of Giants. Readers are transported back to ancient Finland where another branch of her family tree emerged. The second book, The Sea Kings, details the founding of Norway and the conquest of Orkney. She describes this series as "history meeting Norse Mythology", for there will be an element of Scandinavian folklore and fantasy firmly implanted in between the pages of the family stories. The next book, the Pagan Princes, focuses on her 37th great grandfather Rollo, the Viking who ventures to France to plunder Paris and ends up signing a pact with the king to become the first Duke of Normandy. 2020 began as an exciting year for the author until the COVID pandemic hit and plans needed to be changed. The five books of An American Family and the Viking Sagas were released on Audible and iTunes in the summer. J.A. had plans made to travel to Plymouth, Massachusetts in May to take part in the 400 Year Anniversary of the Mayflower landing (her 11th great grandmother and main character in her book Pilgrim Girl was on that ship) but the trip (and the celebrations) had to be rescheduled for a future date. But the work goes on! She released a new stand-alone novel called Fences in May of 2020 about the American Civil War, in which her great great grandfathers fought against each other and the two families came together in an unexpected but profound way. It is a book written from all perspectives and promises to challenge Pilgrim Girl as her best-selling novel. J.A. says there are times, when she is "in between" books, that a story idea comes to her, and she will crank out a short story or novella on a whim. Such was "The Caregivers" she recently released while she was writing An American Family, inspired by the very real personal life experience of losing a loved one. You just never know what this eclectic writer will do next! While all of her work is offered in Kindle format, the historical books are offered in both Kindle and soft cover and are available on Audible and iTunes. All her full-length novels are also available in all San Diego County public libraries. J.A. Snow has author pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Goodreads on which she answers questions, and keeps readers informed of new releases and progress on current projects. She also has a YouTube collection of all her book trailers. Readers are welcome to follow her pages. Just released are the first two books in the CASTLE SERIES: SPIRIT IN THE STONES, which centers around another branch of her ancestors and their connection to the famous Urquhart Castle in the highlands of Scotland And RESTLESS BONES, the secrets of Sudeleagh Castle in Gloucestershire. With over sixty generations of family tree to work with, the stories never end. Welcome to the written world of J.A Snow!!
