Tagline: Read the 17th century journals of Wolfe Amus
MacDonald Stewart and discover the truth to an age-old mystery.
Book Description:
Scottish Highlands, 1692. Befell
the tragedy of Mort Ghlinne Comhann, also known as the Murder at Glencoe.
Despite his own incongruous past,
all Wolfe Stewart wants is a simple life, free from the persecutions of the
Crown. And when he rescues a Child of the Mist from an “Asian man who
disappears into the snow as if he were never there,” Wolfe has received his
wish. However, mysteries still plague him. He gets no answers, but more
questions when a familiar stranger arrives with his cousin and Regiment
soldiers to take up the hospitality of the MacDonalds of Glencoe for a
fortnight.
Little did the clan suspect what
would soon befall them. After the massacre on 13 February, 1692, most
MacDonalds lay dead, many exposed to the elements perished, homes burned. Wolfe
and his friend Fergus are taken away for reasons unknown.
But why would Campbell and his
men commit such a hideous and unholy crime? The truth will not be found in
history books. The beast behind this tragic night holds nothing but greed
within his heart, and using the Jacobite risings as his cover, he gets what he
wants and leaves behind death and suffering.
About
the Author:
Writing has always been in Ms.
Church's blood. At age 9, she wrote small picture books, taped them together
(too young for staples??) and even gave them a publishing house name (Church
Books; what else?). To this day, those ‘books’ sit in storage somewhere. In
school, Church could be found in the back of the classroom, writing short
stories (and still managing A's in English and Art).
Church's first book, House Cat
(non-fiction) was published when an editor who rejected it left the publishing
house and the new editor chose Church’s manuscript proposal from the previous
editor’s pile of 200 rejected manuscript proposals, and saw it to publication
(plus a Revised Edition 7 years later, which is still on the shelves). From
there, Church received offers from Animal Planet (when it was still about
animals) and more book assignments. Her book Indoor Cats won the 2001 Iams
Responsible Cat Ownership Award.
After working for years honing
her fiction skills, Ms. Church made the decision to write a novella, a
brainstorm idea introducing a brand new, conceptual and innovative vampire
series in a way never before done. As a no-name in fiction, this was a big,
bold move. With no cash, no job (on disability), she put the book out all on
her own; writing, editing, cover design, formatting, everything. Though far
from perfect, this was a big step and a big dream.
Book One received a Finalist
Medal in the 2016 Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and Book Two received the
2017 Finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Award.
