Hi
A patron is looking for books like the Williamsburg Novels by Elswyth Thane.
It doesn't have to be a series. She likes historical novels. She especially
likes the people and the way they all came to help each other. She enjoys
the stories. She also liked Calico Palace by Gwen Bristow. Any suggestions
would be appreciated.

Thanks,

If your patron likes the way characters interact from one book to the next, I
can suggest several authors.

Mary Jo Putney has penned the "Fallen Angels" Series and the "Silk Trilogy."
Fallen Angel Series in reverse chronological order
One Perfect Rose
River of Fire
Shattered Rainbows
Angel Rogue
Dancing on the Wind (RITA Award Winner)
Petals in the Storm
Thunder & Roses

Silk Trilogy in chronological order
Silk & Shadows
Silk & Secrets
Veils of Silk

I think Jo Beverly's historicals are also interrelated as well. You might
also try 3 works by Patricia Potter: Between the Thunder and Chase the
Thunder are related, and are set in the post-Civil War era. See also Ms.
Potter's story in Harlequin's (Historical) Christmas anthology for 1990, and
the sequel to that story in Harlequin Historical's Untamed anthology.

They are quite old now but I remember library patrons who liked the
Williamsburg books also enjoying the Carolina series by Inglis Fletcher
that starts with _Roanoke Hundred_.

Happy reading,

I don't believe anyone has mentioned Eugenia Price.
