[close] Discussion by fans and friends of the characters Michael Cooke Holt and Elijah Broom of the American historical novel, Elijah Rising. The novel will serve as the basis for understanding American history in the first part of the 20th century,including wars, music, literature, culture, and economics. Elijah Rising The story of the Ishmael-like friendship between two young men: a wealthy white New Yorker, Michael Cooke Holt, and a black tent-fundamentalist preacher, Elijah Broom, set in that period of turmoil and crisis in American history in which scientific marvels, social unrest, economic disasters, and the First World War, created new vistas about the individual and the nation. Available for pre-order on www.inGroupPress.com (with free shipping) and on Amazon.com. Lyn routinely holds seminars on writing and development of oral history projects and has a gift for one-on-one conversation, communicating with large audiences, and working with smaller audiences in venues such as book clubs and seminars. One of Lyn’s first readers for Elijah Rising was Howard Zinn, who commented: “I read it in two sittings, became involved in the story. You write very well! Best wishes, Howard Zinn” Lyn is 100% Cajun and makes the best gumbo in South Louisiana. When I first read the manuscript for Elijah Rising, I was blown away by Lyn LeJeune’s style of writing. You can’t read her books without a pen, because you constantly find yourself underlining (and writing gigantic stars next to) lines that are so poetic and profound that you simply have to store them somewhere for future reference. Elijah Rising is solid literary fiction, and I’m so proud to be publishing the book this summer. It’s now available for pre-order (both in paperback and e-book format) on our website. You can find Lyn on Twitter (@beatitudes)and her blog http;//elijahrising.com , where she often brings smiles to my face. Her book is expected to be released on August 31st of this year.
