It’s coming!
Those of you who enjoyed my first novel, A FALSE DAWN, should know that the sequel and concluding volume, SUNRISING, will be published within the next twelve months! That’s the plan.
I am so enjoying all the work I’m doing now to polish this sequel. For all the pleasure the first book gave readers, many of them told me frankly that the book lacked some things: mostly, a sense of place. Readers often wondered, where exactly is Louise when a certain event was happening? In the wilderness, yes, but where? The map in the book didn’t help them all that much. With this in mind, the sequel will provide a much better sense of where she is when things are happening.
Also, readers wanted more atmosphere and richness in the story, not just plot and dialogue. What was the world like around her, the natural world, the political world? What did she wear? What did she eat? How did everyone actually live in the 1740s? So again, SUNRISING will have more of this as well.
I’m still, first and foremost, a storyteller. So SUNRISING will still move at the fast pace that most readers seemed to enjoy.
Just be ready. SUNRISING will be coming your way before you know it!
About The Author
Jeff Heller
I'm a historical novelist who focuses on Colonial America, particularly the French-Canadians who settled North America in the 1600s and 1700s. My first novel, A FALSE DAWN, features Louise, a young wife and mother who must search for her son and her husband when the English invade their home in French-held Montreal and torch the city.
