LETTER TO THE EDITOR
My name is Rosemary Bell Houseknecht. I am currently researching information for a historical novel in the form of a family saga, extending from Sir Robert Bell to Southey (Sud) Mitchell Bell centered on Hog Island history. Sud Bell was my grandfather.
My current novel , “Veronica’s Story” was recently published and is available from Amazon and from major book sellers such as Barnes and Nobel. This novel was written under the pseudonym of Jeanne Leighton and is a contemporary historical family saga.
Anyone wishing to contribute information, of any relevant kind, to my research can do so by contacting me at:
