Meet the patriots of America before they changed the course of history... Benjamin Franklin, age 46, is a gifted scientist, inventor and visionary of the social consciousness of the colonies. Was he influenced by the reluctant time-traveler to change history or was it by Melinda's mere presence his future changed? George Washington is a strikingly handsome gentleman of 19, standing 6-foot-5. He can't help falling in love with Melinda...but did his destiny change just because they met? John Hancock is a dashing fun-loving young man who is roused to the call of freedom by the words of Samuel Adams...or was it Melinda? Paul Revere is a shy sweet 16 year old...but did his life change because of Melinda Thomas Hutchinson wrote the controversial and inflammatory letters that led to a riot, rebellion and revolution and changed Ben's life forever. How did Ben obtain these letters? Only Melinda knows. Linda Darnell Hutchinson, an attractive, 23-year old historical researcher is the reluctant time-traveler who knows her history. In March 2008, when lightning strikes, Linda is transported back in time to 1752-at the exact moment the great Benjamin Franklin first manipulated lightning-24 years before the revolution! Far from the iconic image of the elderly statesman and founding father, Ben Franklin is in the prime of his life as a gentleman scientist and inventor. Linda's unexpected arrival, not to mention the advanced technology she has in her pockets, as well as her confident, tenacious manner, convinces Ben she is not from his era. Taking on the name "Melinda" to better suit the times, she and Ben embark on a fascinating odyssey through Colonial America. As they navigate the tricky waters of history, they meet the most famous American patriots before they became heroes, and witness the spark of an idea that leads to a revolution. But as the future meets the past, did history change because Melinda fell back in time? A wildly entertaining tale peppered with romance and blending modern storytelling with historically accurate details, Lightning Strikes the Colonies will appeal to sci-fi enthusiasts and history buffs alike. C. L. Fagan has reinvented herself many times and in many ways. In her professional career, she has spearheaded an electronics company, developed software and sold computerized analysis and visualization tools to aerospace and defense companies. She also considers herself a life-long history buff and is fascinated with obscure historical facts and myths. Lightning Strikes the Colonies combines her knowledge of American history, captivation with Ben Franklin and her niche of blending modern-day storytelling with historically accurate details. C. L. Fagan recently completed her second novel in the exciting Lightning Strikes series, Enlightening Strikes England. For more information, please visit her website: www.clfagan.com
