Book 1 of 3 in the Fury series. First Fury is based on the true story of a woman wronged. In 1848, dressed as man, anger drives Ann to sign on to the Christopher Mitchell, a whaling ship, to hunt down the man who "ruined" her. She had been convinced to leave her home in Rochester by a fellow who promised to marry her. After a short trip on the Erie Canal, he left her alone and unmarried. With no future, she decided the man who did this must pay. For 8 months she served in one of the most dangerous and vile of professions. First Fury is a different kind of love story as Ann learns more about herself and is transformed in her quest for vengeance. Blinding vapors of foam and white-fire...the first fury of the whale's headlong rush..." [Moby Dick, page 81]
First Fury gives a vivid description of mid-nineteenth century whaling while following Ann's metamorphosis.
While perusing a database dump on Joseph Macy, I saw the name "Rebecca Ann Johnson" scroll by. Just weeks before, while reading a book on whaling, I had seen her name and considered the seaman's story concerning her to be just a whaler's tale. But here she was...the story verified by a letter from the US consulate in Payta, Peru! In 1849, she survived 8 months dressed as a man serving on the whaling ship the Christopher Mitchell. The profession was difficult for a man, and Ann did it successfully...single handedly saving the ship and the crew by one account. Postponing the family history, I focused on researching Ann's life. The resultFirst Fury! The documents, photos, and related web site information are all available on the book's web site, (www.firstfury.com). Ruined and 'til Her Heart Dances finish the Fury series.
For 40 years, we have attended the Baptist church in Windsor, Colorado, where I have served as deacon, Bible study leader, and in various other positions. While working with youth and adults, I created various age graded Bible studies. In the summer of 2003, our pastor at that time presented a special class on Baptist history. Some of the accounts he shared begged to be told in story form where readers would EXPERIENCE the journeys taken by our forefathers. The resultThe Courage of Your Faith! This work consists of 12 short stories and 12 Bible studies, each addressing an issue as relevant
