Produktbeschreibung

Women adored him. Men admired him. Criminals feared him.

In the heart of the untamed American West, a young and idealistic Stannis arrives in Denver, eager to carve out his future. But the call of the wild proves stronger than the pull of family tradition. Trading the banker's desk for the rugged peaks of the Rockies, he finds purpose among the Arapaho Tribe and seasoned trappers, forging a life of adventure, respect, and raw survival.

Just when happiness seems within reach-love, land, and a future built with his new bride-tragedy strikes. What follows is a transformation as chilling as the mountain winds: Stannis becomes a relentless force, driven by vengeance and haunted by demons no man can outrun.

This is not just a story. It's the beginning of a saga. Hopefield Evolution: the Hopefield Chronicles, Volume One launches a gripping series that traces one man's evolution from explorer to avenger, from hero to haunted soul. If you crave epic tales of frontier grit, emotional depth, and unforgettable characters, this is your next must-read. A saga of love, loss, and vengeance begins here.

Autorenporträt

Some authors work through organized outlines, notes, rather involved research. For me, I sat at the computer and suddenly the story just flowed out. Now, I'm more prone to do the research and I do the notes but not outlines. Perhaps that is just my method, perhaps I'm just that way.

As you read my books, you'll find letters that give insight into my motivation but also my thinking. For example, I started "And The Mist Was on The Mountain" first, then just had an itch to write about the old west.

So I started a story about a cattle drive. As I continued, ideas came that would work with the old west book and others were good for the modern romance. As I say, this works for me.

As you'll find out, the major work, Hopefield Chronicles, grew when a character that was minor, suddenly could be used later in the that first western. Hopefield was that character. At first he was a throw-away minor character and suddenly, I could use him in the plot. But the more I wrote, the more I needed to understand how he became the hard, driven man he was in Wranglers' Promise. Suddenly, I was writing a backstory that became encompassing Stannis Hopefield becoming the man he is in the series of books.

As I write this, in addition to polishing the final books in the Chronicles, I have six other stories in process. What plot detail works in one book, doesn't in another.

My advice to you if you are at all motivated to create a story is just to start. It won't be perfect, but you'll fine-tune, wordsmith, revise many times until it is what you want. My style of writing is 'chatty', sentence structure is only a guideline. But for me, in my stories, it works.

In the end, write, revise, let someone you trust read, then revise and repeat! When you can, let it go! The glory of holding a book with your name on it is so exhilarating I can not describe it.
