  The origins of the Iron Republic are somewhat obscure. Its authorship is commonly attributed to Richard Bennett, also known as Richard Jameson Morgan. Of course, other names have been associated with the book, like James M. Schurbath and Dr. James Cleave Symmes, Jr. But ultimately, there is no conclusive evidence that confirms any of these individuals as sole authors or contributors to the Iron Republic. The book also shares some sparse connections to the speculative fiction genre that began flourishing during the same time in the early 1900’s. However, there is no definitive proof that the story was written as PURE science fiction. The Iron Republic appears in 1902 as an article in the Florida Magazine and for over 100 years since its publication, this body of work, so rich in technical detail, was able to predict technology we use today, yet did not exist then. How has this story been so grossly overlooked for so long? And in our modern world of ubiquitous information, how have the origins of this manuscript remained so unclear? Is it possible that the author was a clairvoyant genius and the most uncelebrated sci-fi writer the world never knew? Or is it also possible that the Iron Republic is a TRUE account of the events and discoveries of J. Edward Barrington, who bought a boat and set sail for the unknown mysteries of Antarctica? That is for you, the reader, to decide.

Yet, even amidst the vibrant tapestry of New York City, Sam grapples with a lingering question: Who is she really? 
  After college, Sam's quest for identity leads her to the enchanting city of Paris, where she immerses herself in the struggles of others to evade confronting her own. As a photojournalist, she spends two decades capturing the darkest moments of twenty-first-century humanity.

  Leaving the misery and difficulties of the Overland Trail behind, Cornelia Rose expected a happy welcome to her new life in the Great Salt Lake City. Instead, she steps into a bees' nest of new challenges. 
  Tensions between the Mormons and the U.S. Government escalate sharply in 1857, just as Nellie and her growing family arrive in the Great Salt Lake City. Plunged into the fracas of two forms of government at cross-purposes, Nellie settles her family into their new home while trying to discern the origin of the threats to her very existence. Her husband, Obadiah, begins his judgeship in the county, navigating around his own formidable obstacles. But can she trust he will share the information only he is privy to? 
  Nellie is forced to interact with those she opposes both politically and morally. How can she create a safe home for her children? Must she abandon all hope of speaking her mind? 
  EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a fascinating historical tale. Although a dynamic part of our United States history, before the Netflix series American Primeval, little was remembered about the Utah War. This tale omits the gore but provides the historical context of the turbulent time. Journey back in time to the 1800s, with the fourth book in the award-winning "Journey of Cornelia Rose" series, combining the best of historical fiction, women's fiction, and the Old West pioneering spirit as one woman seeks fulfillment in her life. 
  “Collen’s narrative style intertwines historical accuracy with contemporary emotional understanding. Her writing is sharp and witty, interspersed with touches of humor and deep reflection… This historical novel is deeply personal and moving. Collen has achieved another remarkable success.” ~ Feathered Quill Book Reviews, Alma Boucher
