Michelle Shores releases ‘Henceforth and Unstoppable,’ a prequel to award-winning ‘The Gathering Room’

BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Award-winning author Michelle Shores has released a prequel to her book “The Gathering Room.”

The historical fiction novel “Henceforth and Unstoppable” takes readers from medieval England to colonial New England while blending real life events with the supernatural.

Summary:

“‘Henceforth and Unstoppable’ is a reimagined origin of the Blaisdell family from Michelle’s first book ‘The Gathering Room,’ and it just might explain how Lydia Blaisdell came to be connected to America’s first documented ghost sighting in 1799. ‘Henceforth and Unstoppable’ traces the Blaisdell family history back to 15th century England and weaves a tale of their supernatural gifts that culminate in their arrival in Maine in the 1635. ‘Henceforth’ is a story filled with mystical beings, intrigue, adventure and of course Michelle’s unique blend of historical facts with believable fictional characters.”

“After The Gathering Room was published, I was contacted by a woman named Susan Blaisdell, who spoke of supernatural tendencies within her own family,” Shores said. “This seed of curiosity led me to research the Blaisdell family, and I found their origins were centered around a small village in Lancashire, England that contained a Bronze Age ritual circle, like Stonehenge. This, along with other intriguing historical events led me to crafting this fascinating story.”
