Come Follow The Path With Best Selling Passion's Vision

Passion’s Vision is the first book in my Passion’s series. James Fitz-Gerald is an agent for King George II. He is sent on a mission to Chota Town, a major settlement of the Cherokee, to locate and terminate a French agent creating unrest between the natives of the area and the settlers.  This book is a story of love. James learns a great deal about honor and bravery when he becomes a warrior and blood brother to the tribes Most Beloved Warrior. He learns even more when he falls in love with New Moon, a warrior in her own right.

I will be posting Character Interviews and Character Sketches in the next few days. I welcome past readers of Passion’s Vision to comment and share your thought on the characters of Passion’s Vision and Passion’s Price.

Introduction to Passion's Vision and James Fitz-Gerald

When I decided to try my hand at writing, I did what every other aspiring author does…I looked back at my family history for a story to tell.  To my disappointment, there was nothing very exciting in my family line.  I haven’t given up on my family. I’m sure there is a story there somewhere. But…when I turned my attention to my husband’s family…WOW…I found a character on whom I just could not turn my back. This man inspired the entire Passion’s series.

Again, like any aspiring author, I read everything I could find on this ancestor of my husband’s.  I read, took notes on the palm of my hand, the back of my hand, on my wrist, grocery store tabloids, gum wrappers, tiny notepads, anything I could get my hands on. I even carried a tiny recorder.  I just had to do this because there is no timetable or appropriate location for inspiration. It just happens.  During my more organized moments, I created a file to keep track of any historical events pertinent to my story. I created a basic outline containing interesting, exciting, death-defying and romantic escapades of my hero that I was sure would  thrill my readers.  The whole experience of writing is glorious in a way only an author can understand.

This ancestor is James Adair who wrote, as I understand, the first book outlining the lives of several Native American tribes. At the time I was researching this book, Adair's History of American's Indians, was difficult to find but I did locate an old copy. I used his book as one of my sources for research on the time as well as research on the man himself. I must admit, much of my own romantic imagination went into creating James Fitz-Gerald. Passion's Vision is a totally fictional story about the love that grew between an agent of King George II and a warrior woman of the Cherokee tribe. Thanks to Adair's book I feel I was able to bring to life a time in history that was filled with adversity, pain, adventure as well as pride, justice and a love for community and nature that sometimes feels lost in the world today.

I will bring you more interesting tidbits on Passion's Vision and the character James Fitz-Gerald so be sure to visit again. Passion's Vision can be found at Amazon in paperback as well as kindle download. It is also available at most digital retailers online.
