​Sorry I haven't been updating much lately on my writing. I'm in a period of working through what I want to do going forward. I stopped working on my Sam Steele project after the research was two thirds complete. I may get back to it, or it may be postponed. The world of self-publishing is grossly oversaturated and it's been hard gaining ground. I'll let you all know when I've decided what I want to do going forward.

Leaving Amazon

1/10/2021

In light of recent coordinated efforts by Amazon, Google and Apple to remove a great many people whose opinions they don't want heard (and entire platforms like Parler) I will no longer to be doing business with Amazon. I will be removing all my books from Amazon shortly and will begin to consider alternatives for self-publishing.

It doesn't matter to me whether a person's views are Left or Right leaning, so long as we allow all sides to have their say. To control the public discourse like Big Tech are currently attempting to do spits in the face of Democracy and I will have to part in it.

Big Bear

Treaty Six was an agreement between the Canadian government and the Plains and Woods Cree and other tribe leaders in 1876. Terms included a medicine chest, protection from famine and pestilence, more agricultural implements, and on-reserve education. But it also meant losing the free nomadic lifestyle that these nations were accustomed to. Mistahi-maskwa, commonly known as Big Bear, was a powerful and greatly respected Cree chief who was one of the few leaders who objected to the treaty. Big Bear saw how it forced dependence on the government. In the years which followed, some tribes were suffered from insufficient nutrition. For some, Big Bear’s mistrust was proven right. He played a role in the North-West Rebellion of 1885, in which Sam Steele was ordered to hunt down Big Bear’s force.

The Saint Of Dawson

10/7/2020

​Father William Judge was a Jesuit priest who came to the Yukon Gold Rush, not for his share of wealth, but to bring his faith to where he felt it was needed most. From Baltimore originally, Father Judge moved from Alaska to Forty Mile in the Yukon, and then to Dawson. Despite being a frail man, Father Judge was sharp of mind and deep in faith. He established St. Mary’s Hospital in Dawson, where he provided food, shelter, medicine and care to those in need—of whom there were plenty. The kinds of men who ventured into the harsh northern climate, far removed from many of the comforts of the modern life, were stubbornly independent. They were not religious as a rule. However, Father Judge made quite a name for himself as a priest who was always there for any man in need, giving what he could to help a stranger as if he were his own brother. As a result, tough and rugged miners who normally paid clergymen little mind came to value Father Judge as a beloved saint or a close friend. Likewise, his ambition for a large hospital became well-financed by a successful prospector. Father Judge is credited for saving the health (and possibly the life) of Jack London, who would go on to write “The Call Of The Wild” and “White Fang.”

This is research for my upcoming Sam Steele historical novel.

James Morrow Walsh was one of the original officers of the North-West Mounted Police. He was soon assigned as superintendent of a post in Cypress Hills, naming it Fort Walsh. It was here that he had his first chance encounter with Lakota led by Sitting Bull, narrowly avoiding bloodshed after the braves mistook a blue jacket he was wearing as the uniform of an American Army Officer. After Sitting Bull fled to Canada following the Battle of Little Bighorn, Walsh established a strong friendship with the powerful Sioux leader. Walsh's abundant charisma not only helped to win over Sitting Bull, but also the public. The media was fascinated by the man who was said to have 'tamed' the renowned Sioux chief, calling him 'Sitting Bull's Boss.' Of course in reality, Walsh was not simply his boss, but a friend who respected him.

But the government became annoyed with Walsh's failure to convince Sitting Bull to leave Canada, feeling that he’d become too close to the Sioux chief and had become too involved in his own celebrity as Sitting Bull's first Caucasian friend to do the job they’d asked of him. Walsh was thus transferred to another post. He would go on to become the first commissioner of the Yukon.

This is research for my upcoming novel on the life of Sam Steele.
