Stitches Thru Time: Villains! Her Redcoat by Pegg Thomas

[Angela here, and for the month of May we are haveing a little fun here every Wednesday and some Saturdays as authors from Barbour's Backcountry Brides collection share a little about their villains! I'll let Pegg take it from here:]

Love on Colonial America’s Frontier

Travel into Colonial America where eight women seek love, but they each know a future husband requires the necessary skills to survive in the backcountry. Living in areas exposed to nature’s ferocity, prone to Indian attack, and cut off from regular supplies, can hearts overcome the dangers to find lasting love?

It’s hard to define one particular villain in Her Redcoat. Was it the arrogant and foolish British Major George Etherington who refused to listen to reason when warned repeatedly about the Ojibwe and Odawa warriors? Was it the handsome and powerful Waagosh who wanted Laurette Pettigrew for his wife? Or was it the distant Ottawa chief called Pontiac who flamed the fires of hatred across the Great Lakes region? Or could it have been the even more distant King George III who desired to rule the entire New World? I guess the answer is … it was a little bit of all of them.

To celebrate the release of The Backcountry Brides Collection, including my story, Her Redcoat, I’m giving away one of my signature shawls. Today the area around Fort Michilimackinac is known for its beautiful lilacs. One subscriber to my newsletter will win Northern Lilacs, my handspun, handknit wool shawl on May 31, 2018.
