Before Sutter’s Mill became famous for gold… it was just supposed to make lumber.

So why was John Sutter building a sawmill in Coloma—and how did James Marshall end up there?

Happy National Book Lovers Day!

If Liberty Ignited has been sitting on your “maybe someday” list, today seems like a pretty good day to mention that it’s available to read with Kindle Unlimited. https://a.co/d/0btevrv1

Liberty Ignited follows a modern-day candlemaker whose newest creation does something no candle should: it sends her and her future great-granddaughter straight into the American Revolution.

There, they come face-to-face with their own ancestors and discover that knowing history is one thing. Living it is another.

And yes... Book 2 is already in the works.

This time, they are headed somewhere very familiar to Gold Rush Wax:

California during the Gold Rush.

Which may explain why I've recently disappeared down a rabbit hole of 1850s newspapers. 😂

Happy National Book Lovers Day! 📖❤️

This summer, take the story with you.

The Liberty Ignited Book & Burn Discovery Bundle was created for road trips, lake weekends, cabins, quiet evenings, and summer reading by candlelight.

Inside the bundle:
The Flame Keepers: Liberty Ignited (Book 1)
🕯 5 travel-sized candle scents inspired by the American Revolution:
• Tax On Tea
• Liberty Tree

From rain-soaked midnight rides to parchment, tea, cedar, smoke, and whispered rebellion beneath candlelight, each fragrance was created to transport you deeper into the world that inspired the story.

Small enough to pack.
