Volume One Bona Nova Available Soon!
BONA NOVA
One family. One ledger. One unbroken line across the birth of America.
In 1619, John Morris leaves Somerset behind and steps onto the Bona Nova, bound from London for the Virginia Colony as an indentured servant. He carries little more than his name, his labor, and the uncertain hope that the New World may offer what England cannot.
What follows is not legend. It is family history.
Across generations, the Morris line endures hunger, disease, servitude, land, faith, loss, and the dangerous promise of belonging. From the plantations and settlements of early Virginia to the waters and wilderness of Pasquotank in the Albemarle, the family ledger becomes more than a record of names and debts. It becomes a witness.
Bona Nova is the first book in a sweeping historical family saga rooted in real people, real places, and real bloodlines. Written by the last Morris in an unbroken male line from John Morris of 1619, this is more than a novel.

After the war, Dallas and Anne head west to Los Angeles, determined to rebuild their lives and secure a legacy. Piece by piece, they assemble a real‑estate empire—quietly, steadily, confidently. But when oil is discovered beneath their land, fortune turns to fire. A legal battle ignites, climbing from local courts all the way to the Supreme Court, draining the family’s wealth drop by drop. What began as prosperity becomes a decades‑long struggle for survival, threatening to unravel everything their family built over four centuries.
