Review: Culper Ring Series is becoming one of my favorites!

I'm not familiar with an author's practice of providing free "fill-in" short stories between major novels, but I'm loving Roseanna White's doing this! In this three-chapter short story, the Lanes are still active in the historically-based Culper Ring, and espionage reigns. The four-year old Jack is now in this mid-twenties and engaged to Lane granddaughter Julienne--daughter of Gweneth and Thad. Again, secrets rule, as "Lenna" has become an outspoken journalist--under a nom de plume--who is pro-abolition in a markedly pro-slavery state. Loved the inclusion of the historical nugget of the first presidential assassination attempt on President Andrew Jackson's life.  (Not to worry, the President and Davy Crockett handled the situation beautifully.)  The Civil War is brewing, and the Culpers will no doubt have their say in how the winds of change will blow. Great little story--Can hardly wait for the next full-length installment due to come out in a month or so
