My
book, The Bavarian Jeweler, is now
available on Amazon both for purchase or free with your
Kindle Unlimited subscription. It is the prequel to the Lockets & Lace
series sponsored by some of the authors who write for the Sweet Americana
Sweethearts blog.
The
following snippet I shared on our Lockets & Lace Cover Reveal Extravaganza
held on Facebook a little over a week ago:
Wilhelm raised an eyebrow. He began to
suspect it might be a long two months sharing a cabin with this man. “If you
don’t care for the Americans, why do you go there?”
“In one word—trade. The American
blighters are our biggest source of cotton for the mills I manage in
Manchester. ’Tis why I’m sailing into New Orleans. ’Tis one of the biggest
ports close to the southern states where they grow the fluff.” Edward paused,
and eyed Wilhelm with curiosity. “What takes you to a land where you don’t
speak the language?”
“Business. I speak French, the
language of many in New Orleans.”
“Buying trip, eh? What business are
you in?”
“Nein.
No. No buying trip. I’m a watchmaker. I’ve come to set up a new branch of the
family business.” Inwardly, Wilhelm winced at the truth he had stretched
regarding his reason for relocating to America.
Wilhelm bit back the recurring surge
of resentment that during the past two months occasionally resurfaced. His mind
went back to that night in Pforzheim in Baden-Württemberg, the German state
just west of his native Bavaria, when his father had unexpectedly shown up at
his room and started the chain of events that twisted into turmoil Wilhelm’s
carefully thought-out plans for his life.
