Cover: “The Red House On The Niobrara” by Alan Wilkinson

by | May 31, 2013 | ,

Writer Alan Wilkinson asked me to redo the cover of his novel “The Red House on The Niobrara” using images from his time there.

Watch for the change over coming soon to print and ebook!

BLURB: This is a lavishly illustrated narrative that takes you right to the heart of the Great Plains landscape. Fascinated by the writing of Mari Sandoz (1896-1966), British writer Alan Wilkinson had visited her home state a dozen times over twenty years. He read a great deal about the early days on the Nebraska frontier, but wanted to know more. What would it be like to live on the western Great Plains for a season? Could he still get a sense of what those pioneers went through, a century ago?

When a ranching couple offered him the use of an hundred-year-old hunting lodge, built by settlers on the banks of the Niobrara river, he shook hands on the deal before they could change their minds.

The week after he moved in he was hit by an April blizzard. A month later his road was washed away by a thunderstorm. Determined to act out a part of the pioneer experience, he planted a garden. The first was wiped out by hailstones, the second by grasshoppers. He spent the spring and summer hiking the hills, exploring the riverside and digging into the history of the Danish immigrants who graduated from a dug-out to a sodhouse, then built the little red house that was now his home. He socialised with local ranchers, hit the bars and the rodeo, rode the range with Department of Agriculture surveyors, worked on the spring round-up and cut hay. In between he re-considered the life and work of his heroine, Mari Sandoz, re-visiting what remains of her home and camping out at her gravesite.

This is a thoughtful work, a lyrical appreciation of place that remains firmly rooted in the author’s elemental relationship with a unique landscape, one peopled with a cast of genuine western characters, living and dead.

BLURB: In The Bible, there are numerous references, both in the Old and New Testaments, demonstrating God’s use of fire as a sign of power, love and discipline.  In the New Testament, Paul is His mouthpiece when he tells Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6-7 to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.  For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Now, read and be inspired. Fan into flame your own gifts and burn white-hot for God.

BLURB: Julia Morris almost didn’t believe her new boyfriend’s story about true lovers exchanging part of their eternal souls, but after Seth asks for half her soul and pledges his, Julia gladly agrees. A wonderful kind of telepathy develops between the connected lovers until Seth dies in a fiery car crash only a month later. The anguished Julia cannot understand why her chest still burns with his soul’s love and suspects Seth waits in a deathless limbo for her to join him. When Seth’s twin Simon shows up, he relays a horrifying truth; his brother was not only murdered by the mob, but Julia is their next intended victim! Forced to trust a man her dead lover distained, the pair are soon on the run in the Los Padres National Forest nestled behind Santa Barbara, hoping to find a secreted computer disk before the mob’s hit man, Adam Gable, does. And to make matters worse, Julia discovers she is falling in love with Simon who hides a devastating secret which very well may destroy every memory she holds dear!
