I recently joined the New Amsterdam History Center for a book discussion about my recently published historical novel, “Catalyntje Trico: A Life in New Amsterdam.” The discussion aired last week and is now available to view online. Here is a link if you’d like to watch it and learn more about my book. 

The process of putting this event together was impressive. We filmed the bulk of the program a few weeks ago from different locations. Josh Kwassman was the technology expert who filmed the entire production; he was in New York. Amy Ransford, the interlocutor, was recorded from Indiana University, where she is an assistant professor. Amy was delightful to visit with and highly knowledgeable about women’s history in Colonial America. I was at my home in Oregon to record the discussion, and Josh filmed Firth Fabend’s introductions beforehand in New York.

What technology can accomplish today is remarkable, and hats off to Josh for making it all work. Esme Berg, executive director of the New Amsterdam History Center, invited and organized this event from her New York location. Although the five of us involved in this discussion had never met each other in person, we were able to communicate, discuss, and produce a successful presentation.

The book discussion is now available if you’d like to learn more about my process of writing and researching this novel, “Catalyntje Trico: A Life in New Amsterdam.” If you are interested in learning more about New Netherland, look at the offerings on the New Amsterdam History Center website.
