I've just recieved another review of "Homesteader" by Rick Follet that I'm very happy, nae, excited about and here it is:
“Homesteader; Finding Sharon” by D. M. McGowan
chronicles the experience of Henry ‘Hank’ James, a homesteader in British
Columbia, Canada,
in the late 1880’s. “Homesteader” offers a fascinating window into a brave and
formative era in Canadian history. McGowan writes with a cinematographer’s eye
and a playwright’s sense of dialect; the result is an easy-to-read,
entertaining saga that is as determined and winning as the settlers it
describes - plain spoken, honest and impossible to put down. In Henry James,
McGowan has created a character readers want to cheer for. As ‘Hank’ weathers
the schemes and manipulations of the portly (and aptly named) Portis Martin and
struggles to keep his cattle alive against impossible odds through one of the
worst winters in Canadian history, readers become personally acquainted with a
colorful cast of supporting characters and the harsh realities of a
homesteader’s life. Hank has got his eye on a lady, too, but you’ll have to
read “Homesteader” for yourself to find out where that trail leads...
“Homesteader” has it all - adventure, romance, nature, drama and actual
history. Many of the events of the story happen within and around real-life
headlines from the period. "Homesteader” is as educational as it is
entertaining and appropriate for audiences of all ages. This book could just as
easily occupy a shelf in the historical fiction, western, or romance sections
of the local bookstore. In “Homesteader,” D. M. McGowan has written an
engaging, seamless tale with universal appeal. Stake your claim and be ready for
a thrilling ride!
"Homesteader" is #3 in the works I've had published and one of the two still available. I'm hoping I can manage to have two published this year. Perhaps one of them will be a 2nd release of my first novel, "The Great Liquor War." However, time (and income) will tell.
