West From Here

West From Here

West From Here is a timeless story of courage, honor, and manifesting one’s destiny. Based on real history, this novel is historical fiction at its finest and most authentic. In West From Here, author Bill Brown explores a defining time in US history, exploring grand themes at a deeply personal level as Elias finds himself torn between his own white heritage and his newfound love and respect for the Creek people. Can he bridge the gulf between them?

Elias James is looking to find his place in the world, regain his family’s honor, and earn the respect of his stern and demanding father—and he has just the plan to accomplish all three. Years ago, Creek Indians stole a precious heirloom entrusted to Elias’s father. If Elias can venture to the Creek Nation and recover it, then he will be a hero.

He’s not going alone though; he’ll take four of his cousins with him on his important mission. Along the way, they will face off against nature and Indian warriors and Elias might even have the chance at romance as he finds more trouble than he could have ever imagined. As tensions rise between the Indians and settlers, they’ll have to move carefully indeed.

There’s just one problem Elias never expected: when he comes to love the new world he’s discovered and now understands better, what of the life he’s left behind? Can he possibly bridge the rift between the Creek people and his own?

If anyone can, Elias is the man for the job.

Here twelve of the best and most beautiful young Journeyman archers compete every year for a coveted spot on the prince’s bodyguard.

There are no women allowed inside Saint Sebastian’s. Disguising herself as a boy to infiltrate the guild means embarking on a dangerous deception. But when the charming Journeyman Tristan takes her under his wing as his squire, Marieke’s got to stay – at least long enough to help him beat out his brutal arch-rival to win the competitions. Keeping her identity a secret will be hard. Living in close quarters with a pack of gorgeous boys? That will be harder still.

Aden’s Chance : An Alternate History, War of 1812, American Military Time Travel Novel (Pale Rider Alternative History Book 4)

Aden's Chance : An Alternate History, War of 1812, American Military Time Travel Novel (Pale Rider Alternative History Book 4)

Jack Reacher meets The Patriot in this exhilarating time travel alternate history series! After rescuing the Americans from the clutches of the British by traveling back in time to save the American Revolution, Thomas Nelson believes he can rest and enjoy his new 18th-century life with his wife, family, and new business. But history only can change so much. When an acquaintance from future comes to 1789 to tell him his best friend and the person who set the whole plan in motion, Aden, is lost in time and needs help, Thomas doesn’t hesitate to grab his guns and black vest and take up the mantle as the Pale Rider once more. Only this time, he has to leave his wife Annie for the year 1814. Thomas becomes the Pale Rider and sets out to rescue Aden, while also meeting Andrew Jackson for his battle at New Orleans. Altering the outcome of the War of 1812 was, after all, the reason Aden tried to go back in time. But the rumors of the Pale Rider still find it way among the docks and inns, only, it is not Thomas of whom they speak. It seems a pirate has adopted the name for himself, riding on Thomas’s reputation. And it seems that this pirate works with the infamous Lafitte brothers — which makes Thomas’s mission as the actual Pale Rider more difficult. Yet a larger question looms — do these pirates have Aden and all of Aden’s 21st-century technology? And worse, if they do have Aden, can Thomas get him back? Because pirates do not like to give up any bounty they have found. And with Aden, they have found a valuable bounty indeed. Then, if Thomas manages to pull off the impossible, save Aden, and change the course of America’s history once more, can he live long enough to travel back to Annie and his family? Aden’s Chance is the fourth book in the Pale Rider series, an alternate American Historical Military retelling, and is the first book in the next trilogy set which focuses on the War of 1812. If you like American history, time travel, and alternate historical fiction, then discover Aden’s Chance today! “it is recommended that the books are read in order!  $3.99 on Kindle.

Three years later, I encountered him again under very different circumstances. The ‘war to end all wars’ had finished. Its completion had cut short the stories of so many and uncovered one that needed a narrator—to reveal a truth and heal the wounds of broken survivors—providence had chosen me—the least likely to be believed.

Modern Women: breaking the mould

 

Modern Women: breaking the mould is a series of four novels set in the past about women who confounded the restrictions the society of the day imposed on them. Set in the Roaring Twenties and Edwardian Britain (in that order), each book features a different female protagonist: from straitlaced Claudia, who discovers there is more to life than lying back and thinking of England, to Violet, the vicar’s daughter who eschews the confines of married life to forge a career working backstage in a theatre. The author has had the nerve to include a number of real-life characters in her books, including Noel Coward, Mrs Patrick Campbell, the great actor-manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree and the pioneering suffragist, Mrs Millicent Fawcett. My heroines are linked to one another socially and the series can be read in order, but each book is a separate standalone. Light-hearted in tone but often serious in content, the books are very firmly rooted in the days of women’s fight for the right to vote, to the short-skirts and corset-free times of the Roaring Twenties.
