at Goodreads.
In the early 1800s in a village on the Illinois frontier, young Jo Mae Proud wishes her cruel brother dead. Forced into prostitution by Caswell, Jo Mae discovers she is pregnant and vows to escape. When Caswell is injured by a near lightning hit, he becomes more dangerous, and more hated. The flawed residents of the Village of Sangamon harbor many secrets. Caswell knows them all. Will he tell? Jo Mae runs away and eventually finds shelter with Fish, the old Kickapoo Indian who camps by the river. Wishing Caswell Dead is a historical mystery about the evil that hides within a village, one girl who is determined to save herself and her child, and a violent murder no one wants to solve.
Publishers Weekly described the characters as “surprisingly complicated and wonderfully individual” and the novel as a “worthy historical.”
Western Writers of America’s Frontier magazine called Wishing Caswell Dead a “rock-solid, riveting tale.”

Exiting the Doldrums
I got a notification about the giveaway yesterday.
They do a good job of notifications for those who clicked “Want to Read.” It’s sad, though, that Goodreads wants to charge authors to do those giveaways now. It’s not something I’m likely to do in the future from that venue.
