Stephen Clarkson author event: “Patriot’s Reward” historical fiction about slavery during Revolutionary War
New Hampshire resident, Stephen Clarkson, will be at The Book Rack in downtown Newburyport on Thursday, September 6th at 7 PM to read from and sign his new book, “Patriot’s Reward.” The Book Rack is located at 52 State St., Newburyport. Author Steve Clarkson has artfully cloaked the facts of his own ancestors and their slave in a gripping, colonial-era novel. James Clarkson is a successful tanner in Portsmouth, NH in 1755, and his new slave is a teenager, brought from Senegal on the sailing ship Exeter. Clarkson names the young man Will. A former teacher, he chooses to educate Will as a part of his training. This empowers Will, who fights for America in the Revolution. For information contact: Deidre Randall, media@perpublisher.com or 603-205-0552.
