Fannie's Fire: Book One: Gold Rush Gals

Fannie's Fire is based on the real life of Madame Marie "Fannie" Lanos, the beautiful milliner who bore the blame for the Great Conflagration of 1852. Fannie journeys from her humble beginnings in French Basque Country, all the way to the unstable Gold Rush City of Sacramento, California, in pursuit of her dream to be an "independent woman of business" during a time when women had so few rights and opportunities.

Fannie defies social norms and writes her own rules, living a life filled with adventure, danger, scandal, and a romance that is guaranteed to set your heart on fire!

Fannie's Fire is the first book of Gold Rush Gals, a planned series of Historical Women's Fiction Novels. Each book in the series introduces the reader to a fascinating woman of Sacramento's Gold Rush who overcomes the social constraints of the day to live a self-determined life. Their struggles and successes relate remarkably well to those experienced by contemporary women.
