Very happy to see my baby debut novel infused with new life as it is re-released by Shadowpaw Press in Regina. My author copies arrived today. First one to be claimed is one by my big brother Nels (the character John is based on him and I dug deep into my childhood well to recall growing up together on a farm in rural Washington). He loved the original novel but then his dog ate his copy. They were going to hang a sign around Emmie’s neck explaining what she’d done but they couldn’t catch her. I guess she really enjoys historical fiction. A twist of fate or coincidence: Shadowpaw publisher is Ed Willett; Shadowpaw is also the name of his cat. Ed is the name of my cat. Probably fate that brought us all together. Very happy this story is still going strong.
