Come August, Five Star will
release a new novel by yours truly: Father
unto Many Sons. As you see above, the cover has been designed and is quite
handsome.
The book is set around about
1840 and tells the story of a father who uproots his Tennessee family to escape
the evils of slavery by settling in Mexico. His wife and two of his three sons
aren’t too keen on the idea, resulting in a number of difficulties. The third
and youngest son supports his father and follows his lead, adding to the
troubles with the other brothers. All this is made even more difficult by
trials and tribulations along the trail.
The book retells an older
story, setting it in the American West’s challenging landscapes and violent,
tumultuous times.
Western Writers Hall of Fame
author Lucia St. Clair Robson read the book and said, "The riveting
prologue of Father Unto Many Sons makes it well-nigh impossible
to resist reading to the last page of the book. Author Rod Miller has
combined vivid period detail with memorable characters to create a story that
gives the sensation of visiting another time and place."
I can hardly wait for August
and the release of Father unto Many Sons.
How about you?
