Angel of the Gold Rush: Book One of the Angel Trilogy Kindle Edition

5.0 out of 5 stars 2 ratings

California Territory
1850

Widowed on the Oregon Trail en route to the gold fields of California, Irish immigrant Kathleen Connelly and her daughter Megan survive a brutal passage through the snow-bound Sierra Nevada Mountains to stagger into California Territory alone and destitute. There begins the remarkable transformation of a poor immigrant into a force to be reckoned with in the soon-to-be new state—a woman who becomes a legend whom the California Indians say couldn’t be killed, and the founder of a great empire.

Journey along the Oregon Trail and plunge into the world of the Forty-Niners, a passage fraught with tragedy, poverty, hardship, failure, and ultimately, triumph in the wake of a fiercely determined woman who would not be denied.

Please note that I have changed my pen name from B J Scott to JAMES SCOTT. This was done partly to avoid confusion with other authors who used B J Scott as their pen name.

I call my series of historical novels "Tales of Strong Women", and a common thread running through all of my books is that the stories are built around strong, courageous women—women who, in the words of one reviewer, "want men in their lives but don't need them to succeed". If you like stories of women who back down from no one, who are bold but sometimes hot-tempered, prone to attracting trouble but ultimately triumphant, these books are for you.

I'm an author who likes to both entertain and educate. I've had great fun over the years learning about westward expansion, mining, sailing ships, locomotives, and B-17 bombers. The feedback I get from my readers tells me they've enjoyed it too. I write from small ideas that grow organically into big ones. Plot ideas form barely in advance of my "pen", making the creative process an exciting discovery. Sometimes I have only a faint idea of what the next page will bring. But it works! The comment I hear most often from readers is, "I couldn't put it down!" I hope you'll take a trip into high adventure with my books soon.

I hold Bachelor's degrees from Washington State University and Brooks Institute of Photography. And I'm proud of my Irish, Scottish, and Scandinavian ancestry!
