This series takes place in one of my dream story worlds: in this case a world a little bit like Revolutionary America. And as with all my dream stories, it isn't about history so much as about our popular culture views of history.
The main series is really a melodrama, (albeit a very anarchist melodrama, where the heroes are puritans and atheists and one feral woman trying to find her own way).
But this story is really just a simple little holiday romance. I think it stands alone, but it's especially for those fans of Wife of Freedom:
Jackie and Mary have settled down again -- still wild and troublesome, but not suffering troubles at the moment. It's winter, and time for warm fires and mulled flip, and gifts ... and gossip.
However, this time the gossip is about Jackie. Jackie is a man who can't keep secrets, but apparently this time he has one. So what's he been up to with that strange woman?
Midwinter Freedom is currently available only as an eBook and only from Smashwords. But it's FREE.
UPDATE: this book is now free at most major vendors (at least in the U.S.):
Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, Diesel,
Smashwords carries most formats, and also will distribute the book to most other ebook vendors, including Barnes and Noble, Apple iBooks, Kobo, Diesel and others.
It will be available at Amazon next week (though you can get a mobi file for you Kindle from Smashwords now).
I am delaying the upload to Amazon, because Amazon seems to have stopped matching the free price on books. I am hoping that if the book is free everywhere when it is first uploaded there, Amazon may still match the price and offer it free. If not, the book will be 99 cents, and you can still get the book at Smashwords.

Congratulations on the release! Sounds interesting.
You can't get a book to be free and I can't get a book to *stop* being free! Trying to get one of mine to be .99 and I guess Sony or someone still has it listed free. Very annoying.
When you can't get Amazon to stop price-matching, it's often because of Sony. (Plus I understand Sony had an issue recently where they reverted books to older prices.)
If you distribute via Smashwords, you might temporarily un-distribute to Sony to see if you can send it fresh and get the price back to normal.
