DREAM HITCHER SCREENPLAY CRITIQUES

To those several people I sent a copy of the screenplay Dream Hitcher - a question - Now that you have read it, I hope, should I spend time in converting it into a novel. First, the main actors in the story, are they interesting enough to cause you to want to know what happens to them? This is always primary in story telling. The setting of the story, the time, the cause of the conflict (there must be conflict), gives the characters a stage to act upon. Give me your comments. Should I convert the play into a novel?

Ebook number 20, Soldiers Of Conquest, published today.

My 20th book, Soldiers Of Conquest, Lee And Grant In The Mexican-American War of 1846-1848 has been published as an ebook. In this war, the two men were comrades in arms in the war that conquered Mexico and took half of that nation's land area. That land now makes up the states of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and parts of Utah, Colorado,and Kansas. In addition that war allowed Texas to join the United States.

The Shadow Man published on ebooks

Today I have published novel 16, The Shadow Man. Check it out at FearlParker.com. 

The time is 1846 with the United States and Mexico poised for war over the American Southwest. The place is New Mexico, where Jacob Tamarron has come after years as a legendary mountain man. Jacob is weary of mountain loneliness and brutal struggle for survival against Indians and fur thieves and comes to Santa Fe and hoping to find a woman and have a family. He finds the new life he is looking for in Petra, the proud and fiery Mexican woman. He woes and marries her. Then with savage suddenness, his new life is ripped apart by two of the most vicious men ever to ravage the West. James Kirker, a professional Indian killer out to make a fortune in blood money, and Simon Caverhill, a Texas senator, who with a handpicked killing crew and a master forger, is carving out an empire from the land of butchered New Mexico ranchers.

Thus begins a searing saga of search and vengeance as Jacob turns hunter again, this time hunting the men who destroyed all that he had created. With High Walking, a Comanche warrior whose woman and his children have been slaughtered, he uncovers a trail of murder and terror that leads him to his enemies’ stronghold. With cold savage fury that matches the power and cunning of their enemies, these two unlikely comrades fight to the death to take their revenge against the great odds against him.

Comment about my novels from a reader.

Fearl,

  

I just finished Coldiron-Thunder of Cannons and enjoyed it immensely.  I like the way you crank in a bit of geologic history an the beginning of each book, it might encourage readers to do a little research themselves and become better educated.  I am impressed with the research you have had to do in order to make the tales more alive and representative of the times.

PREDATORS AND PREY

I have today published my 15th novel. Another 7 to go. Number 15 is titled PREDATORS AND PREY. This has been previously published in print. It tells the story of the Mormon migration by handcarts, wherein young women in England were converted to the Mormon religion by missionaries and brought to America. The railroad at that time, 1859, ended at St. Joseph Missouri. The women hooked themselves to two wheeled handcarts and dragged them carrying their scant belongings 1000 miles across the dangerous great plains and into the Rocky Mountains to Salt Lake City, the Mormon Zion. The women were preyed upon by Indians, murderous Mormon hating white men, and five Texans wanting wives. I hope you like the telling of this history of the struggle of these young women.

Talk with you later. F. M. Parker
