Happy Friday! Here’s a little something for readers awaiting Mountain Laurel‘s September 1 release. A nice big chunk of Bonus Content, in the form of a prelude, or mini-prequel. Whatever you want to call it, it’s yours for the reading, compliments of me and my publisher, Tyndale House.
I hope you enjoy this introduction to main character Ian Cameron. As his friends and family would tell you, Ian has been adventure-prone since he could barely walk, so it’s no surprise he cannot make it from Boston to North Carolina (and Mountain Laurel‘s opening pages) without a life-altering adventure tracking him down…
Take a step back in time to a summer day before Mountain Laurel’s opening. A small step. Just a few weeks or so, back to the high and dripping heat of August 1793, near the Maryland border in western Pennsylvania. There on a hillside at dusk meet Ian Cameron. He’s been a cabinetmaker in Boston, a frontier fur trader in Canada, and is about to take up tobacco-planting in North Carolina. If he makes it that far.
I have already read Mountain Laurel and am waiting for anything that follows as well as that which preceded. I absolutely LOVE your books. I love the historical significance as well as the poigniant love stories.
Thank you Lynn. Don’t miss the sequel to Mountain Laurel, which released last fall. It’s called Shiloh. However, if you haven’t yet read Burning Sky, I’d advise reading that first because Shiloh is also a sequel to that book. Yep, it’s a dual sequel! And when you’ve finished those, there’s the followup novella that ends the Kindred series, called The Journey of Runs-Far. You can find them all under the Books tab.
