Where lineage lives, history does not stay silent.

​

The Daughters of Catilina is a multigenerational historical fiction series that blends documented history, cultural memory, & spiritually grounded storytelling. Set along the Gulf Coast & rooted in eighteenth & nineteenth-century Mobile, Alabama, these novels carry readers into the lives of Creole women whose stories were lived fully, but rarely written down.

​

Drawing from archival records, real historical figures, & lived Creole heritage, the series weaves ancestral wisdom with imagined truths that exist between the lines of history. It is not history as recorded alone, but history as lived experience, passed through blood, land, & memory.

​

This is not just historical fiction.
It is living knowledge, carried forward through story.

A lineage once hidden in plain sight is rising.

​

Before borders. Before statehood. Before ink fixed names to paper. There were the Creoles of Mobile, born of the land but not bound by rigid classes, shaped by love, survival, & ancestral knowing. They forged lives in the in-between, holding families & communities together through generations of change.

​

Their story is not found only in documents. It lives in the dirt, the water, & the bones of a city that still remembers. These are their stories.

And if you listen closely, you may hear your own.
