In what is being called a "stunning" sequel to SPIRITED AWAY – A Novel of the Stolen Irish, Freddy O’Brennan is on the run. In 1656, determined to pursue freedom for themselves and their young children, Freddy and her friend Birdie, a Monacan native from Virginia, brave stormy seas, treacherous castaways, and corrupt colonial authorities in Jamestown. Romantic sparks between Freddy and ship Captain Colin Shea Brophy smolder and threaten to explode. As they venture further into the James River wilderness, Freddy and Birdie navigate a choking gauntlet of ruthless slave catchers, frontier bounty hunters, warring natives, and a Cherokee renegade out for blood.

Maggie Plummer is a multi-genre author whose latest novel, EAGLE IN FLIGHT, is Book 3 of her semi-autobiographical Jessie Morgan Series. Like Jessie, she
ventured into the wild North Country in the mid-70s, enduring monster mosquitoes and mind-boggling skiff trips on the seething Stikine River near Telegraph Creek, British Columbia.

These days the author works from her Montana home near the shores of Flathead Lake, where she loves hanging out with her sweet black lab, Peaches. EAGLE IN FLIGHT is Maggie's fifth published novel.

BELL-BOTTOM GYPSY: A Jessie Morgan Novel introduced readers to this series in 2019, taking them on an adventurous 1970s coming of age journey along America's back roads.

WEBS IN THE MIST: The Jessie Morgan Series, Book 2 follows Jessie as she arrives in 1970s San Francisco. There, she happily spreads her wings and leaves her troubled past behind. Or does she?

Maggie's first novel, SPIRITED AWAY - A Novel of the Stolen Irish, paints an intimate portrait of 1650s Irish slavery in the Caribbean.

It has 272 reviews on Amazon.

Her second novel, DARING PASSAGE: Book Two of the Spirited Away Saga, tells the rest of Irish slave Freddy O'Brennan's compelling story. Readers call it "a stunning sequel."
