Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 1.7 MB
Overview: Preston Shires is a history instructor and lives on a farm with his wife, Sylvie, in southeast Nebraska. He spends his days reading, writing, teaching, or farming. Preston’s book, Knight Time for Paris, was runner up at the Athanatos Writing Contest and was published by Athanatos Publishing. In Knight Time for Paris, France’s medieval crusader king, Louis IX, comes to life in the 21st century with hopes of redeeming his kingdom. This work reflects Preston’s interest in medieval and contemporary European history. However, he is also at home with American history and penned a novel of historical fiction set in the frontier river town of Brownville, Nebraska. The year is 1857 and Adeline Furlough, the main character, is going to make a name for herself in a most unusual way. Life in a Casket has been short-listed in the Laramie Award competition.
Genre: Fiction > Mystery/Thriller
1. Life in a Casket
Adeline Furlough just graduated from Oberlin College, a hotbed of abolitionism, and she has every intent of establishing herself as a journalist in the frontier river town of Brownville, Nebraska, where abolitionism is frowned upon. Once arrived, she soon discovers some suspicious activity that could be fodder for her debut article. As she investigates, though, she experiences more than one misadventure, as Indians, gun play, dancing, and a ghostly apparition, to say nothing of two charming frontiersmen, all impede her inquiries.
2. Saved by the Bullet
In 1856, a group of frontier ruffians murdered Jacob Friend and his family. A year later, Addy Furlough discovers that though the culprits got their just rewards, they had not acted alone, and the mastermind is hot on her trail. What’s a young lady to do? Calling in her dashing beau might help, but most importantly, she’s going to need all the wit, repartee, and subterfuge she can muster to stay alive.
A graduate of Oberlin College, Addy moved out west to the frontier river town of Brownville, Nebraska Territory, to establish herself as a businesswoman, promote abolition, and find her aunt, long ago kidnapped by Indians. A woman journalist was not unheard of in the 1850s, but denouncing slavery and defending Native Americans was not especially popular out on the Great Plains.
Fortunately, Addy’s father is wealthy enough from his railroad investments to support her in her quests, and her younger brother, Teddy, stands ready to help, but not always exactly the way she might hope. Nevertheless, Addy investigates and invariably stirs up a hornets’ nest of trouble for herself and everyone connected to her.
