Chaucer’s Books (3321 State Street) will host a book launch for local author Jane Hulse (Prisoner of Wallabout Bay) on Monday, September 11 at 6 p.m.
Description of “Prisoner of Wallabout Bay” A young woman’s daring quest to free the …
Sarah Barrett has only two choices … She can bow to her mother’s nagging and marry a handsome young lawyer who is well-connected to the British military occupying New York. Or she can stick to her inky grind as a lowly apprentice at a newspaper where her foul-mouthed, ill-tempered boss keeps assigning her stories on ladies’ hair trends instead of the Revolutionary War intrigue she so wants to cover.
Sarah’s relentless digging uncovers a story that nobody wants to even talk about, no less print. The British have set up decaying prison ships in the waters off New York. Risking everything, Sarah fights to expose rampant cruelty and wretched conditions, and in the process just happens to find love.
About the Author Jane Hulse
Growing up in Keene, New Hampshire, Jane Hulse was surrounded by history. From her family’s 1795 home, she could see the former tavern where 29 Minutemen rallied before fighting the British at Lexington. With her father, she explored caves that served as hiding places for loyalists who had been hounded out of town during the American Revolution.
After graduating from Syracuse University, Hulse worked for small newspapers in Colorado and then for the Rocky Mountain News in Denver, where she covered major criminal trials. She did freelance writing for the Los Angeles Times and was city editor at the Santa Barbara News-Press. For her leadership there, she was among the staff who received the University of Oregon’s Arcil Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism, an annual honor for journalists who “report with integrity despite personal, political, or economic pressure.” Most recently, she was editor of a Southern California agricultural magazine. Hulse, who has a grown daughter, is married and lives in Ventura, California.
