One of the most haunting mysteries in American history — The Lost Colony of Roanoke — comes roaring back to life in White Seed
….
“For readers of American history, the barely known chapters, of Raleigh’s ill-fated experimental colony have always sparked conjecture. White Seed does an admirable job in bringing together the realities of the late 16th century …” –Richard Sutton, Novelist

Here’s the set-up according to the Midwest Book Review…
“Dropping off the face of the earth, the lost colony of Roanoke has been the attraction of much wonder. “White Seed: The Untold Story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke” is a novel offering Paul Clayton’s take on this lost colony of people who were abandoned by their countrymen on the shores of the uncharted Virginia. Telling a story of an abused Irish girl finding her place in this new world and finding love in the wrong places, and the plotting of local warlords, “White Seed” is a fascinating read that should not be missed.”
Here’s the cast of characters…
- Maggie Hagger, indentured Irish serving girl, a victim of rape and intimidation
- Manteo, Croatoan interpreter for the English, inhabitant of two worlds, belonging to neither
- John White, ineffective Governor, painter, dreamer, father and grandfather
- Captain Stafford, brave and disciplined, but cruel soldier
- Powhatan, shrewd Tidewater warlord who wages a stealthy war against the colonists
About the author…
Paul Clayton was born in Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1948. He attended Catholic schools in the fifties and sixties. In 1968 he was drafted and served a tour of duty in Vietnam as a rifleman. He returned and attended Temple University, earning a Bachelor’s degree in English. He has worked as a substitute teacher in the Philadelphia public school system, a disabled Veterans’ counselor, and a technical writer.
Paul is the author of a three-book historical series on the Spanish Conquest of the Floridas ― Calling Crow, Flight of the Crow, and Calling Crow Nation (Putnam/Berkley), and a novel, Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam (St. Martin’s Press), based on his own experiences in that war.
Carl Melcher Goes to Vietnam was a finalist at the 2001 Frankfurt eBook Awards, along with works by Joyce Carol Oates (Faithless) and David McCullough (John Adams).
Paul’s latest work is a historical novel, White Seed: The Untold Story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Based on the historical writings of Governor John White and other Elizabethans, White Seed will appeal to readers in America and, especially, England from whence the lost colonists departed.
Paul currently lives in Concord, California, with his son and daughter.
