                 There’s adventure aplenty when an Anglican priest, Maynard Hyghcock, is forced to become a whiskey smuggler to support his church in 1680’s colonial Delaware.

                 Pirates and smugglers, Indians and African slaves, a beautiful young widow who runs the local tavern, and a British Naval officer determined to capture and hang our good priest as a pirate make for an exciting cast of characters.

                 Authors E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird’s Delmarva region of the 1680’s is vibrant and alive, and THE HYGHCOCK CHRONICLES is a thrilling adventure you'll long remember!

“Set in the 1680’s, The Hyghcock Chronicles by E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird is a rollicking story of illicit trade and tax evasion in the newly formed colonies of New York.  …Birds, boats, Swedes, Dutch, Finns, English, Native Indians, and the African, Kwami, a hurricane, all deliver an enthralling story of adventure… The characters of this story are strong and individual and the authors E. Michael Fisher and James C. Bird deliver a sense of reality from early settlement days.  The Hyghcock Chronicles - Published by Whiskey Creek Press - is well worth the read!”
