Going to the Water

by L.E. Sells

Siobhán Maguire is a young Irish indentured servant for a wealthy British family, the Schelldens, during the 1830's. Siobhán suffers internally as she grieves the loss of her family in Ireland and is forced into a life of servant-hood from a young age. The Schelldens move to Northern Georgia during the time of a gold rush and Siobhán happens to meets a young Cherokee boy, Atohi. Atohi helps Siobhán grieve the loss of her beloved family and help remind her of the traditions she grew up with. The friendship that Atohi and Siobhán foster helps Siobhán heal from her past. While their relationship grows, Atohi's tribe is subjected to the Indian Removal Act and is forced off of their land. When the two are abruptly separated, Siobhán scrambles to find a way back to Atohi before he and his tribe are gone forever. ***DISCLAIMER*** This is a work of fiction with true historical aspect.

About the author

L.E. Sells is an indie author with a passion (well it's a borderline obsession) for writing delightfully smutty fictional romance in all its forms. She particularly enjoys paranormal/supernatural romance and fantasy a little more than may be deemed as sane. She also loves writing contemporary fiction, but she can't seem to peel herself away from the monsters and the fairies to save her life.

Going to the Water was her debut historical fiction novel which she published in 2017; she had no idea what she was doing when she published this one. Like marketing? What's that?

Genesis is a Fanfiction novel that she completed in 2023 and is available on Archive of Our Own (AO3). She needed to give Bella Swan a different ending (she will not disclose whether she is team Edward or Jacob, but she is for sure werewolf leaning...not to give anything away. Also, Bella definitely needed a stronger feminine narrative). Did she lose any of you here? That's okay, welcome to her ADHD world.

Kindred is her third novel published in 2025. Genetic vampires? Sure why not, let's just sprinkle in some biting and BDSM for funsies.

L.E. Sells is a labor and delivery nurse of 15 years which she loves but there's not enough coffee in the world to keep up that job and writing full time. She lives in Northern California (yes there are beaches, no they are not as good as LA or San Diego) with her two daughters (who are amazing) and husband (who is wondering if she'll ever get off the computer and hang out with him).
