Grover Square: Victorian Historical Fiction

by Waverly Fitzgerald

Spoilt and willful Arabella Farraday hopes the fortune she inherits upon her father’s death will help her find her mother who disappeared when she was just a child. But she has not counted upon the trustees her father Miss Finch, her puritanical governess, and Sir Henry Warder-Mull, her father’s lawyer, who hopes to marry Arabella. But nothing can stop Arabella from going after what she wants. Every action she takes plunges her deeper into trouble and leads inexorably to the terrible truth about her mother’s fall from grace.

About the author

I'm a writer, teacher and publisher, calendar creator and advocate for slow time.

I've written 14 novels and 9 are published under 3 names. I write humorous mysteries with Curt Colbert under the name Waverly Curtis. I write historical fiction and non-fiction under the name Waverly Fitzgerald. And my historical romances were first published under Nancy Fitzgerald. I occasionally blog for the Seattle PI as the Urban Naturalist. And i write about slow time and seasonal time at my website Living in Season.

I read fiction to learn more about how to write the novels I love, so I am generally reading historical fiction and mysteries. In non-fiction, I like almost anything that teaches me something, with a special emphasis on topics I am writing about in my fiction (Victorian London, the English Civil War) or essays (flowers, family history, walking). And I love memoirs.
