Hi everyone! I'm not exactly new to good reads but I'm not sure that I've ever introduced myself. (If I have, I apologise for getting all up in your face lol)

I'm Amanda, more commonly referred to as Ams. I'm a newish book blogger the link is in my profile.

I'm a big fan of the Harry Potters and more recently fell in love with The Night Circus. I love stories filled with Magic.

[Warren]

I tried to get into the International Fleet's Battle School, but they took some guy named Wiggin instead.

I was accepted at Hogwarts, but I couldn't find Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

I applied to Unseen University of Ankh-Morpork, but all they would offer me was a degree in optometry.

I wasn't able to force my way into the Jedi Academy.

So I stayed at home and started writing books.

Hi Jim!

I've read a few fantasy books set in Oxford. I really must explore it in real life one day.
I wonder if it would be as magical.

Why I wrote Longhouse Homicide

I’m a retired journalist and publicist who can’t stop writing. I’ve had an interest in American Indian culture since I was seven or eight years old. About 10 years ago I became fascinated with the history of the Wendat (Huron) and did several years of intensive research that included reading many of the annual promotional tracts written by and titled: The Jesuit Relations. My long term vision was to write an epic saga along the lines of James Michener’s various books. But, try as I might, I was unable to come up with viable story lines. I was subsequently sidelined by health issues and a burgeoning interest in pre-Columbian archeology.

A few months ago, I gave up on the epic concept and decided instead to incorporate some of my earlier experience (as a crime and courts reporter) and write a novella-length book about murder in early Canada.

American Indians lived in virtually crime-free villages for thousands of years. That all changes quickly when Europeans begin exploration and settlement of the new world. In early1600s Canada, various villages become targets of a systematic murder campaign. The agrarian people are stunned by the attacks.

Who could be responsible? No one knows and scouting parties are sent far and wide in an effort to learn the reason. Bit by bit, the leaders of one village learn the answers but it takes an extremely bright young Indian boy of seven summers to discover the evidence.

Tribal revenge against the plotters is swift. In a joint operation with their traditional enemy, the Iroquois, An entire tribe far to the east is wiped out in a single raid.

Look forward to meeting and discussing writing, publishing, you know, all that stuff.

Luke
