The effects of that "...late great unpleasantness..." are still unfolding. Yes, so few good stories are being published with genuine depth. Well-drawn characters, setting AND historical detail made it a fun-write. Commitments keep eating my time & work on the sequel - - one thing at a time. Thank U stopping by, leaving a very good comment AND following the tour -<br /><br />Hawk MacKinney Hawk MacKinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345345123817835598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146872039854804374.post-37523317474048576472014-07-08T11:33:24.261-04:002014-07-08T11:33:24.261-04:00Good seein' you & your comment.

All writers are readers & versa vice - - for the most part. From the historical perspective Moccasin Trace is a staggering setting for characters & their everyday lives...which hooks contemporary readers into the lives of character(s) they like. The fiction entwines diverse motivations/reactions/interplays. Mark Twain put it best, "You want to know about it, read my books." The characters painted in words on the pages of Moccasin Trace aren't fictional. Most fiction isn't fiction...neither are the subdued but intense emotions that are core in a Southron. Moccasin Trace sets the whole family background that drives the serial characters, decidedly so for the protagonist, in the Craige Ingram Mystery Series.<br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed divulging some of the secrets of my Welsh and Scottish bloodlines with a slight peek into darker corners - which I reveal in some of the mysteries. You question was a goodie - thank U for asking - -<br /><br />Hawk MacKinney<br />www.hawkmackinney.net<br />Hawk MacKinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345345123817835598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146872039854804374.post-62882314009993977862014-07-08T11:31:07.007-04:002014-07-08T11:31:07.007-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hawk MacKinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345345123817835598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3146872039854804374.post-83351956857681436662014-07-08T10:50:11.632-04:002014-07-08T10:50:11.632-04:00Hey Hawk.
