Synopsis

Small Fires in the Sun — A historical, romantically-enhanced, adventure novel. A compelling story centered around the three primary cultures of colonial Louisiana. Each from a different world, each bearing a different cross, each in the service of a different God. All seeking, in their own way, the things craved by men of all creeds – love, respect, peace of mind, and a small measure of prosperity, but finding instead, hardship, deceit, and sometimes... death. The French — an ill-prepared, group of disillusioned settlers using their wits and sometimes treachery to gain a foothold on foreign soil. The Natchez — the most socially advanced tribe on the North American Continent. A matrilineal, complex society of head hunting, sun worshipers who believe that their chief, the Great Sun, is a God. The Slaves — Uprooted from their homeland and forced into servitude. Each dancing a different rhythm to the same music, the same drum. Small Fires in The Sun is a wholly fictional, historical saga based strongly on actual events and, in part, on the lives of Louis Juchereau de St. Denis and others who lived during that time....
