NELSON M. BAKER, A FAMILY ALBUM

Sudbury Publishing Group is pleased to announce its first non-fiction titles. These are carefully organized compilations of images and documentation that cover the span of several generations. Nelson M. Baker published the definitive Genealogy of the Descendants of Edward Baker in 1867.

These two books capture his life and times.

The first book, Nelson M. Baker, 19^th Century Genealogist, A Family Album is a group of Carte de Visite of Nelson M. Baker and his siblings, parents, father’s siblings, and grandmother on his father’s side.

The second book, Nelson M. Baker, 19th Century Genealogist, School Papers, features Nelson’s writing which provides a glimpse into his thinking and that of his brother, Byron, as young men.

The vintage images, cleaned slightly but intentionally left authentic, come from a satchel found in the attic of the Baker homestead in Lafayette, New York. They were turned over, in the 1970s, to the local historian, J. Roy Dodge. He held onto the satchel, waiting for a descendant to reach out to him. Editor Jonathan W. Baker connected with Mr. Dodge accidentally, by calling the Lafayette Public Library, after which Mr. Dodge gave him permission to copy the images and publish these books.

TORY ROOF

FINALIST, LITERARY FICTION 2019 IPNE BOOK AWARDS (Independent Book Publishers of New England)

A “BEST BOOK LAUNCHED THIS WEEK” BY REEDSY DISCOVERY (JUNE 21, 2019)

TORY ROOF tells a story of love and adventure, confidence and self-doubt. Sarah Sutherland didn’t go looking for the experience that engulfed her. She was a modern woman — a mom and real estate agent who accepted her routine life — until she encountered a fiery Revolutionary War agitator in a vintage home she was selling. Drawn to him physically and emotionally, she finds herself embroiled in the events leading up to the American Revolution, becoming an activist, writer, and soon-to-be mother. Parallel plots unfold, autumn to autumn, interweaving present day with 1765. Struggling to reconcile her two realities, Sarah enlists the help of a psychiatrist, only to learn that the people around her are not as they seem.

I LOVED this book! I am a huge history buff (especially Civil War and Revolutionary War) as well as a longtime fan of time slip/time travel historical fiction. I feel as if this book was written just for me and I didn’t want it to end. Starting the sequel now. I love the author’s writing style and her historical research is truly impeccable. Bravo!

Historical time traveling love story

Tory Roof is an unexpected adventure across time that juxtaposes life in pre-Revolutionary War America with the modern day. It’s a fascinating comparison and thrilling turn of events, especially if you’re intrigued by history! A woman exists as herself in both realms. She is confused at first, but comes to understand it and master it over time. I loved it!

SILVER LINE

“OUTSTANDING PLOT AND STORY APPEAL” — Judge, 27th Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards 2019

SELECTED BY PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY ‘BOOKLIFE’ FOR “BEST FIRST LINES,” FEBRUARY 2019

SILVER LINE is a tale inspired by folklore, that picks up with Sarah’s son seven years later. Jared is 18 and starting college. Like his mother, he has extra-sensory skills, but he has repressed them until meeting Alexa St. Clair on campus. By accident, they discover they can revert to their former, older selves — a rugged miner and spirited dance hall girl living in an 1860s Colorado town. Lured by frontier adventure and the heat of romance, they continue to return. But in present time, Jared is focused on a journalism assignment: finding the missing art from the unsolved Gardner Museum heist. Through their evolving relationship, he draws Alexa into his orbit where they tangle with a stalker, shady art dealers, and a homeless man who knows a lot. When Jared’s leads eventually fizzle, he realizes that clues to the present lie in the past.

ABSENT

LAUNCH REVIEW May 23, 2020

Loved it! 😍

“The best part about the book is the journeys Carter takes…The details in these scenes are exquisite, and I felt like I was in a trance right along with Carter.”

https://reedsy.com/discovery/book/absent-jill-c-baker

For men in mid-life crisis, women in dull jobs, or anyone seeking adventure, Absent takes you on a wild ride.

Carter Sutherland, a former high school science teacher, is now a think tank executive living near D.C. His world is precise and analytical; his demeanor, reserved. Because he is partially color-blind, his black-and-white perspective is both literal and physical — until he meets client Tracee Green –a synesthete who sees words as colors. When she offers to take him on four sensory-rich, cerebral journeys to improve his perception and emotional intelligence, he readily agrees. With the power of suggestion and aid of questionable beverages, Tracee Green guides him to pivotal eras in time where he assumes the personas of his alter-egos: Arturo, Arthur, Kar, and RT. With each journey (both sensual and gut-wrenching), he learns about himself and his surroundings — insights he applies to a camouflage project at work. There’s no denying that Carter is attracted to his vision guide, who delights in teasing him with innuendos and blurred reality. And there’s no uncertainly that his wife, Sarah, isn’t thrilled with him visiting Tracee at the Green Light Foundation. The plot turns when Carter starts to suspect Green Light is a front for something else. With the help of his son, an investigative reporter, a subplot is revealed.
