Connie Lapallo is the author of two novels based on the true story of colonial Jamestown's first women and children. During her research, she discovered that fifteen generations ago her grandmother Cecily had come to Jamestown in 1611 as an eleven year old. Cecily's mother Joan had come two years before that in 1609. These facts were indisputably in the records. Yet most history books said no women or children were at Jamestown. The realization that history had not only forgotten these women but even denied their existence wouldn’t let Connie go. She set out to tell these women’s story.

Connie is recognized as a historian regarding these early 17th century settlers and has spoken to more than 400 groups, societies, clubs, and schools. She is now working on the third book in the Jamestown Sky trilogy, The Sun is But a Morning Star, and a non-fiction about an early Jamestown governor, In Search of Sir Thomas Gates: A Biography.
