Welcome and thank you for visiting!
I’m C.S. Boyll. You may want to check out my debut adventure historical novel Unexpected Riches, released recently. Find some inside track info on the Unexpected Riches tab above, including book club and classroom information.
You may also order a copy of U.R. on Amazon. I support independent bookstores, and most should be able to order U.R. for you or ask your library to order it (thank you!). E-book option is also on Amazon. I hope you enjoy this book about a kidnapped Puritan midwife, who needs grit, faith, and an irritating seaman to get her home. The book has readers from ages 14 to 95.
There’s a Blog In My Eye is being revamped with some fresh material. Stay tuned.

“I ate supper much later than usual because I was reading a certain book! I didn’t wanna stop to eat and delay reading the end! Awesome work….”

“I love history. But I want more than dates and places. I want description! This story grabbed my attention quickly developing characters, customs, travel, diverse peoples, and settings that thrived just 40 years after the Mayflower sailed from England in 1620. Moving authentically into this New World of rapid expansion, the plot draws one into the expectations, fears, challenges and pain of these people. Descriptions of rich and slave, unbelief and unexplainable faith, from London through the French Caribbean to Boston, it was hard to put this novel down. This story would be very appropriate and enjoyable for older students studying American history….Pick up this rousing historical fiction and roll the seas with a writer/ journalist who imagines Puritans in a fresh way.”
