I am wrapping up this generation of Brandon Scandals with this one [in theory, of course you never know if the muse will decide to be ornery ..... ]
The idea is to write the next generation, starting with Jasper and Phebe, Lydia will be in there too, which will be in the reign of William IV; and maybe a future generation set in the later Victorian era.
I've also had some ideas for following Henry[b 1599] who 'went to some place called Jamestown and was never heard of again' and his generations; along the lines of Henry goes native to survive, Henry's son or grandson re-establishes the family by marrying a wealthy Dutch girl in New Amsterdam, the Brandons get mixed up in the American revolution, a Brandon girl dresses as a male to get her qualifications as an engineer and works on the new railroads, surveying for the grading, a Brandon girl enters into correspondence with a cowboy out west as a mail order bride [I was thinking of a character like Big Jerry, if anyone knows the Laura Ingalls WIlder stories, 'On the Shores of Silver Lake'] and maybe dabbling with a bit of conflict in the American civil war.
Thoughts?
