The Story

A world that tried to silence her.

Colonial America, 1600s. A land of opportunity . . . and oppression.

Faythe never fit the mold of a proper young woman. Now, as she flees into the forest, her sister’s fate fuels a fire for vengeance that will shake North Hinkapee to its core.

Pitted against the ruthless Downing family and a corrupt church, Faythe’s quest for justice becomes a thrilling saga of forbidden romance, unlikely alliances, and swashbuckling adventure. As she navigates a world determined to silence her, Faythe finds strength in unexpected places: a reformed courtesan with a heart of gold, an aging swordsman whose blade still strikes true, a smitten farm boy with hidden depths, and a silver-tongued lawyer with questionable motives.

But can Faythe outwit the devious Martha Downing and expose Minister Brown’s hypocrisy before it’s too late?

Faythe of North Hinkapee is a spellbinding tale that will transport you to a world of danger, passion, and courage. Perfect for fans of Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth, this epic delivers:

  • A fierce heroine who defies every convention
  • Rich historical detail that brings Colonial America to life
  • Heart-pounding action and intrigue on every page
  • A cast of unforgettable characters, each with their own secrets
  • A sweeping narrative of love, betrayal, and redemption

About the Author

“James T. Hogg writes historical fiction with a simple mission: Stories You’d Ruin Tomorrow For.  His goal is to draw readers in from the opening chapter and keep them turning pages through unforgettable characters, fast pacing, and compelling plots.

His debut historical novel, Faythe of North Hinkapee, is an award-winning epic set in Colonial America featuring an indomitable young woman seeking vengeance against the powerful family that destroyed her sister.  The novel has earned 4.5-star ratings on both Amazon and Goodreads.

Faythe and the Marauders is the sequel to Faythe of North Hinkapee.  It describes the next chapter of Faythe’s life, as she pursues justice now for all women in Colonial times.

Three more sequels are at work in Hogg’s mind, so do stay tuned.

Hogg lives in New Jersey with his wife of more than forty years, Ann (“Sweetie Pig”), whom he adores.  Among other things, they founded The Sweetie Pig Foundation to spread joy and happiness in the world.  He writes from his beach house in Cape May, called Hogg’s House, and is especially proud of completing two Ironman triathlons, including the World Championship in Kona, and achieving his “Ripped at 65″ fitness goal despite undergoing open-heart surgery that same year.”

Was Carlos Ruiz Zafon The Greatest Fiction Writer Ever?

You probably know by now that I love Ken Follett’s writings more than anything, and I have tried to emulate him in what I have written so far.  But I have to wonder about Mr. Zafon as a special inspiration.  Unlike Ken Follett – and me,…
