I’ve been portraying Susan B. Anthony in costume and researching her family since I wrote her biography in 1994. I became hooked when I discovered her brother Daniel Read Anthony, the subject of my 2017 novel The Truth About Daniel. Although raised a Quaker, he was one of the original Kansas Jayhawkers, possessing a lightning speed trigger finger and an even quicker temper. Chronicling his courtship of an heiress from Martha’s Vineyard has led me to ten cities as well as many delightful side trips to study Victorian customs and the Civil War. I enjoy English Country Dancing every week and one of my favorite scenes happens at a ball.
