On the 9th, 10th and 11th of March — Sunday, Monday and Tuesday — we’d like to gift you with the award-winning SO WILD A DREAM. It’s a reminder of early spring. A time of new beginnings.

“Life in rural Pennsylvania in the 1820s doesn’t hold much appeal for young, adventurous, ambitious Sam Morgan. He decides to make his life–and maybe his fortune–on the frontier, but his first step is to get there.
“He secures a job as a hand on a riverboat, and the adventure begins. His crewmates are an assortment of rascals, rapscallions, and borderline crooks, among them an educated Delaware Indian, a scam artist, a wily riverboat captain, and a former prostitute who may be more dangerous than any of her companions. In their travels up and down the rivers, the crew experiences a multitude of adventures.
“Author Blevins, an expert on early American fur trade, introduces his Rendezvous series with this entertaining, vivid portrait of frontier America as seen through the eyes of an impressionable youth.” — Wes Lukowsky, BookList
“Blevins possesses a rare skill in masterfully telling a story-to-paper. He is a true storyteller in the tradition of Native people.”– Lee Francis, Associate Professor of Native American Studies, University of New Mexico
“No one writes about the fur trappers’ westering experience better than Win Blevins. He has a poet’s way with words, and imagery to match the wilderness reality. In So Wild A Dream, Win has re-created that long-ago world where the improbable was commonplace, and where courage and audacity made anything possible.”—Lucia St. Clair Robson, author of Ghost Warrior
“An adventure of the body and the spirit. A young man, Sam, follows the call to adventure given him by a Delaware Indian sitting by a mighty river. During his journey, Sam learns love, fighting, the ways of Indians and the songs of mountains and rivers.
“But more than this, Sam learns his own heart, his strengths, his hopes and his fears. SO WILD A DREAM is a real page-turner packed with adventure. It’s also a beautiful and poetic story of a spiritual adventure learned through trials and triumphs. Win Blevins once again creates a rich world with all the juicy stuff of living. A must read.” — A Happy Reader, Amazon

Just finished the Rendezvous Series a week or so ago. Great. Loved it. Surely showed the hardships
in those pioneer days and how “little” things meant a lot sometimes.. Keep on writing.
