Saratoga (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

If you look outside the box of ordinary fiction, you will find the story of Saratoga, an adventurous and inquisitive girl growing into a woman in the fictional town of Lafayette, NH. This unique contemporary tale is tinged with romance and has a sprinkling of humor throughout.

Sara's full name is Saratoga Concord Parmenter. Her parents named her after two of the most important battles in the American Revolution, and have instilled in her the importance of the founding principles of America. Her friends call her Sara most of the time, but she is also known as Miss Einstein. One of her favorite expressions is "Well, if you think about it."

Sara likes to think and inquire about many things. One thing that bothers her a lot is the fact that women in general do not get historical credit for things they have done in far too many fields. And although she loves her country, she is annoyed that the Declaration of Independence states that "All men are created equal." As Sara reminds her father in Chapter Four "And as I've said many times before, it should be 'all people are created equal', not just men."

This story is very entertaining, but it also delves into some of the serious issues facing us today. These are interwoven into various parts of the story in an interesting yet relatively brief way. To keep things on the light side, there is an occasional romantic twist, and the story is also sprinkled with a lively sense of humor, especially between Sara and her father.

Autorenporträt

I am an avid reader who, until relatively recently, had never thought about writing a book. I have always been able to write well, from grade school through my Paralegal Studies courses in college. My first published piece was a brief history of the town of Groton, Massachusetts that was published in the local paper, The Public Spirit. Then, a few years ago, I decided to try to supplement my income by writing.

My first book is a children's picture book. "Bob Hikes Mount Monadnock" is a story about a boys love of adventure and nature. My wife Brenda did an awesome job on the illustrations for the book. Thirty-two of them, all done free hand.

My second book is a novel. "Saratoga" is the story of an adventurous and inquisitive teenage girl growing into a woman in the fictional town of Lafayette, New Hampshire. I had been frustrated by events throughout the world, but rather than letting that overwhelm me, I decided to try to write a book that would hopefully encourage people to work together for the common good of all humanity and Mother nature as well. And Brenda did an awesome job with the illustrations for the book's dust jacket.

I truly believe that God guided me while I was writing this book. Although I knew that I had several contemporary subjects that I wanted to weave into the book, I had no idea how or where to begin. But when I sat down and started typing, it all just fell into place. Ideas, conversations and snippets of humor just came to my mind as I was typing. It was an amazing experience and leads me to believe that God was guiding me all the way through.
