Number 212 on Amazon in French Historical Fiction

4/4/2019

Well known French actors: Kiefer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, Chris O'Donnell and Oliver Platt.

My novel, The Fiery Salamander, set during the end of the French and Indian War in the Carolinas is ranked #212 on Amazon in the category "French Historical Fiction". I think that is pretty magnifique. There are a few elements in the novel that speak on the influence the French had on the  Carolinas during this period. First, there was a large population of French Huguenots that settled in Charleston and one of the characters,  Zarina Michaux, is from that distinct ethnic group. Also, there is  a French doctor character who is  based on a real person of the same name, Jean Cantzon. Dr. Cantzon lived in the Carolina backcountry during this era and, in the novel, tries in vain to save the life of one of the main characters. Also, the Shawnee in the book are French speakers.
At first glance, you might think that the ranking is a mistake, but when you look closer, it makes a lot of sense. I mean it's not the Welsh and Indian war, it is the French and Indian War.

My new, young adult, historical fiction novel, The Fiery Salamander, is now ready to purchase in paperback or download from Amazon (only Amazon at the moment). Lovers of family sagas, history, adventure and the colonial period in the Carolina's (yes, very specific) will have the vapors over my new novel. It's a little bit Huck Finn/Winter People, a little bit Last of the Mohicans and a large bit of fun.   Think about the movie the Patriot. Now think about that movie if it was good. I mentioned that the book was fun, yet living on the frontier in the 1760's was not a day at Six Flags (or Carowinds in my case). There was small pox, unrest, lawlessness, animals that bite, slavery and not a few Native Americans who were quite pissed off at encroachment on their land and many other insults directed at them by the swelling population of Europeans. I think you will enjoy it.
That is enough verbiage- get the book yall.

Head on over to LFBooks blog and read a review of Luska. She mostly liked it! The book is a bit complex, kinda like one of those math questions about the train and how long it takes to reach the station except at the end the train explodes.
