[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. Subscribe
today to be entered!
Pegg Thomas lives on a hobby farm in
Northern Michigan with Michael, her husband of *mumble* years. A life-long
history geek, she writes “History with a Touch of Humor.” When not working or writing, Pegg can be
found in her barn, her garden, her kitchen, or sitting at her spinning wheel
creating yarn to turn into her signature wool shawls.
Thanks for sharing with us, Pegg! You make the loveliest shawls!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to be here and I'm glad you like my shawls. Making them is very time consuming, but everyone needs a hobby, right?
