A Fourth Novel About the California Missions

[Weatherman2020]

For some reason, I did not submit the manuscript of the fourth novel I wrote in the series, Father Serra's Legacy. I can't tell you why. I'd finished the first draft along with a revision and thought it was ready for publication. But, I hesitated. Time has passed and the contractual obligations no longer exist. So, I have the right to do with it whatever I wish.



With that in mind, I am going to do yet one more revision of INDEPENDENCE FLOWERS – THE MISSIONS WITHER; Florecer de la Independencia – Marchitar las Misiónes.



And, when it is complete, I will self-publish it on Amazon.com. In the meantime, I am going to publish each chapter as I finish it here on this blog. I owe it to you, those who've taken the time to follow this blog and my laziness in not posting on a regular basis.



I hope you enjoy and, yet again, I'm asking you to check one of the boxes at the bottom of this post, along with any comments you care to make. Comments are especially important to me as they will tell me if I'm going in the right direction.



Thanks and enjoy.

Do you live in California or is this just of interest to you?

I was born and grew up in California and left to enter the Army. Went back briefly for various tours at Fort Ord and the Presidio of Monterey and San Francisco. I guess that's the reason for my deep interest in the missions as they played such a huge role in the state's history. I also began to learn how far from the truth the history of the state as taught in the classrooms.

As an aside, I've recently posted chapters 23, 24, and 25, the last one have some background of Los Angeles in 1830.

At the moment, no. I haven't published it yet and won't for some time. If you'd care to look it over and comment, send me a private message and we can work something out.
