About the author
Shawn McCarthy
33 books262 followersI'm the author of ten books, with a heavy focus on historical fiction.
My historical novels include:
- "Local Honey" - Set in 1951, it's the story of a small town's "haves vs have-nots" in post-war America. It’s part love triangle, part class struggle, and part dreamy window into the lost New England of the 1950s. The backdrop includes seashore towns, rural farms, the gritty slums of Boston, and brief flashbacks to World War II battlefields.

- "The Puzzle Box Chronicles" a six-book series set in Boston, Cape Cod and the American West in 1891. it focuses on an important time of transition in America, when electric lighting is spreading across the country like a wave.
Its locations range from private luxury train cars to seedy back alleys. Even the sparks created by that time period's "War of the Currents" can't fully illuminate the darkest parts of that history. It starts with Book 1, "The Wreck of the Gossamer."

- "The Sea Glass Empire" a collection of five short stories that raise questions about how external influences can sometimes have a huge impact on the trajectory of people’s lives.
I've also written two non-fiction books, (one for John Wiley & Sons and one for the National Society of Professional Engineers) and authored articles for The Washington Post, Tribune Publishing, United Press International, the Associate Press and various Smithsonian Institution publications.
