Remarks:
These books might be called literary commercial action adventure fiction. You definitely have to think outide the
box to write these novels. A woman dumps her 25 year marriage and moves to an isolated cabin in Maine where she cuts
up hunter's kills while nude to make a living. She is the talk of the locals who think she is crazy and is killed by
women police officers who are out to get her. I'm sure I couldn't write these, but by all means give them a try. Now
let's look at a sample of what they publish.
An American Outrage
A Novel of Quillifarkeag, Maine
By G. K. Wuori
Ellen Delay, leaves her twenty-five year marriage and moves to a lonely cabin
deep in the Maine woods. Here she makes a living dressing hunters' kill, bears, moose, deer. She does the bloody skinning
and dressing in the nude to save on laundry. Local teens taunt her as the crazy woman.
Four local police women fire two hundred rounds at her. This outraged novel turns out to be an all too
familiar American story, and puts Quillifarkeag, Maine, right in step with America's nightmarish headlines.

By Robert Morgan
|
In the 1780s, unrest ruled the Carolinas. British forces were pillaging as the patriots mustered for battle.
Only sixteen years old, Josie Summers murders her abusive stepfather and, wearing his clothes to disguise herself as a man,
flees the family farm.
Lost in the snowy woods, she accepts a young Methodist preacher's invitation to assist in his itinerant
ministry. When Joseph's true identity is revealed, the Reverend John Trethman is racked with guilt at having shared his home
with a young woman and then falling in love with her. He marries Josie,
Not long after their wedding, John is kidnapped by British soldiers and forced to minister to
their wounded and bury their dead. Josie again disguises herself as a man and joins the North Carolina militia to avoid being
taken for a spy. On January 17, 1781, in a wooded pasture called the Cowpens, Josie is gravely wounded in the patriots' victorious
battle and despairs of ever seeing John again. Brave Enemies is a story of romance and enduring love, of the struggle
to build a homeland as one era is dying and another age of freedom and discovery is being born.
