Mount Sterling, Clay City, Winchester, and Stanton were still a long way from coming into being. Most of the land was heavily wooded and settlers had only been venturing into the area for around two years, thanks to the efforts of Daniel Boone, who had blazed a trail through the Cumberland Gap.

A list of Fictional Characters is included in the appendices as is a biography of the main real life characters, this is to dramatize the story and bring it to life. However the accounts of the Estill Battle of Little Mountain, and the battle of Blue Licks were real events and are accurately depicted, as recorded by those who were there.William and Elizabeth Chenault, James Estill, and Daniel Boone are real people. The Chenault's direct ancestor William Tandy Chenault still lives in Mount Sterling and assisted with some of the historical details. Although Wildcat Mountain is a work of historical fiction, this novel is a stark, accurate, and uncompromising view of life on the frontier in 1782.I have reflected in it, the views of society as it was at the time. I make no apology for doing so, and in no way imply approval or otherwise of the practices of racism, slavery or savagery that the novel portrays.

Queen Anne's Curse is a work of fiction but is based on a number of true life events. The characters of Sir Michael Walker, Geoffrey Hawthorne, Caroline De Winter, Debbie and David Spencer, and Dr Ruth Walker, are based on real people; I have met during my career in both law enforcement and public life. In fact, Sir Michael Walker is a senior psychiatrist at the University of Northern England in the United Kingdom, and the various Hampshire police officers are loosely based on my colleagues who served with me in the last part of the 20th century.The Mary Rose's sinking is still shrouded in mystery. Although the majority of historians agree that it was bad seamanship. But there's still those who think a more supernatural cause was to blame.Human remains recovered from the ship have made it possible to reconstruct some of the crew using state of the art computer generated and forensic facial recognition software. One of them was the Archer who, when the ship sank, found himself stuck in a warehouse beneath its decks. The basis for the reconstruction of Mary Rose, which is currently on display at the Portsmouth Ship Museum, was this unknown sailor. Little is known about this man but I have attempted to give him an identity based on a typical Tudor archer of the period, who was aboard the Mary Rose. His story is typical of those who served in Henry's navy in 1545. Many of the historic details of the history trail of the ring depicted in the book are real documented events, such as those surrounding Isadora Strauss, and James Longstreet, and the fire that claimed the lives of some of Joan's descendants. The Queen Anne's Curse is, therefore, a combination of fact and fiction in which sometimes the boundaries are blurred. It's not entirely accidental, though.

Mudfoot's one of the world's foremost targets for kidnappers, not to mention the terrorists who will soon try to kill him.And now God is sending this overly complicated man to Victoria Winston.--We at MIKVELK had a lot of fun with this novel because we welcome political satire. We like all of Randall Jarmon's stories, but this one has Dawson and Alicia Wicks in it. That makes it a little like a tall tale. If you ever thought a staunchly conservative Paul Bunyan might be cool, you ought to meet Dawson Wicks.Dawson's a brilliant mountain man who finds gold so often that he holds rock star status among prospectors and mining companies. He's married to Alicia Wicks, a Dallas debutante with both a CPA and a law degree. She invests what Dawson finds. The two are now like a little commercial bank, except that they lend to nation states rather than to small businesses. Almost nobody on Earth is richer.David Mudfoot is Dawson Wicks' protégé. Mudfoot also started out poor, also finds gold reliably, and also will need years of Alicia's patient teaching to acquire social graces. He might someday even learn to dance.The Wickses bail out socialist Montshire, which is still New England's poorest state. In return, they get rights to look for gold in a vast stretch of forest covering Montshire's Greenish Hills. Nobody but Dawson Wicks thinks there's much there besides mosquitoes, black flies, and pine trees.Montshire also gives the Wickses de facto ownership of pathetic little Montshire Agricultural & Military University (MAMU). It has the only fiber optic line in the region, and Mudfoot needs that for the computer modeling he and Dawson do.Alicia Wicks brings in her former law school roommate, and longtime friend, Lady Bytes Riley to oversee MAMU. What transpires is an ongoing struggle between perhaps the worst of Academe and perhaps the best of corporate America. We, ourselves, would buy this novel just to follow Lady Bytes Riley. None of us at Mikvelk-not even Randall Jarmon, himself-foresaw how she'd emerge as so strong a character. There's more. The registrar at MAMU runs a clandestine assimilation business on behalf of a major terrorist group. He creates for terrorists from abroad the false academic backgrounds they will need to stay in America undetected. Accordingly, the area David Mudfoot will prospect in has just become an entry point and training ground for some of the world's most dangerous killers.Tori Winston owns the little restaurant next to MAMU. That puts her at ground zero for all the action to come. Tori is about Mudfoot's age, single, very nice, and very smart. She's a successful small businesswoman despite socialist Montshire's ridiculously high taxes and absurdly onerous regulation. She has a big, wolf-like dog of her own. Tori's duplex is the only place in town where Mudfoot can stay.That's the story's beginning. We think what follows will get your pulse going and your pages turning. We doubt you'll see the ending coming, and we think you'll like it when it arrives. You might even want to read that part twice.Mikvelk Publishing, LLC
