OFFICIAL MEDIA PRESS RELEASE ~ TRAIL OF FATE

Justice and Destiny Collide in B.S. Daniels’ Gritty Debut Western “Trail of Fate”

B.S. Daniels’ “Trail of Fate” kicks off The Arduous Quest series, reviving the classic Western genre for a new generation of readers.

“This author should have been born 150 years ago. Daniels reflects the cowboy lifestyle in his choice of words and interaction.” — Amazon Reviewer

FORT LARAMIE, WY, UNITED STATES, October 14, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — As the Western genre experiences a resurgence in popularity, author B.S. Daniels steps into the literary arena with “Trail of Fate,” the first installment of his new series, The Arduous Quest. This novel blends classic Western action with philosophical underpinnings, offering readers a fresh take on a beloved genre.

Set against the rugged backdrop of the 1890s American West, “Trail of Fate” follows Reg, a man driven by an unyielding sense of honor on a quest for justice. As Reg navigates the unpredictable frontier in search of cattle rustlers, he faces a pivotal choice between his pursuit of justice and the safety of all he holds dear

Reflecting on his transition from bull riding to writing, B.S. Daniels states: “My experiences in the rodeo circuit taught me about grit, determination, and the unpredictable nature of life – themes that are central to ‘Trail of Fate.’ Through this series, I aim to capture the spirit of the Old West and share it with a new generation of readers.”

“Trail of Fate” stands out for its first-person narrative, providing an intimate view of the protagonist’s journey. The novel’s prologue sets a philosophical tone with poetic musings on fate, adding depth to the adventure that follows.

Early readers and critics have praised “Trail of Fate” for its authentic portrayal of the Old West and its compelling storyline:

• “… a riveting homage to the gritty and action-packed world of classic Westerns. From the very first page, Daniels immerses readers in the untamed landscapes and rugged lives that defined the Wild West, delivering a story that is as thrilling as it is evocative.
The timing is perfect as Westerns are making a comeback after a long lull. B. S. Daniels has crafted a story that is both a tribute to and a reinvention of Classic Westerns, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting series.
Whether you’re a long-time enthusiast or a newcomer to Westerns the Trail of Fate is a journey worth taking. – Carol Thompson for Reader’s Favorite

• “A gritty Western about an old-fashioned hero and his horse. You can tell by the author’s descriptions and prose that he is steeped in Western lore and the West itself… Besides entertaining sentences, his characters are well developed and his descriptions detailed.” – Sandra Cox, Amazon Reviewer

• “A great Western in the 1800s of Colorado ranching country. Daniels takes you on an imaginative, captivating ride that draws you in, with lots of colorful characters, and keeps you yearning for what’s coming next.” – William Kruse, Amazon Reviewer

Now available through major retailers, including Amazon and Barnes & Noble,
“TRAIL OF FATE” (ASIN B0DFZ4J9RS) is positioned to appeal to new and long-time Western enthusiasts of the Wild West genre.

Secrets of a Nun: My Own Story

by Elizabeth Upton
Non-Fiction – Memoir
241 Pages

By K.C. Sanders

“Before I left high school, most of my teachers were nuns,
not to mention a source of fascination.
What did they wear to bed at night?
Are they bald under those black veils?
What do they confess if they don’t even sin?

As a young teacher, I worked with and learned a lot more about nuns, but only after I read Secrets of a Nun: My Own Story by Elizabeth Upton, could I conclusively say that nuns are, indeed, very human!

Upton’s journey from becoming a nun to leaving took 21 years, beginning when she was only 16. In an utterly honest voice that shares every emotion, and the more hidden, natural urges a young teen feels, Upton opens up to readers in her memoir.
We feel every battle with herself and her superiors that resulted from her choice to dedicate her life to God.

Becoming a nun is far from easy.
Personal interaction between nuns is discouraged. Nuns in superior positions take their religious fervor and powerful roles to extremes, and the degree of dedication required would try anyone’s strength and patience.

Then, of course, there’s the difficulty younger nuns experience denying their attraction to the opposite sex, as celibacy is not just demanded of Catholic priests! I loved the honesty with which Elizabeth Upton shares such emotional and physical details.
That takes courage. Readers need to bring an open mind to Secrets of a Nun.

Those who see normal urges as sinful might be offended by Upton’s frankness. The rest of us will applaud Upton’s decision to write a tell-all about her life as a Catholic nun. It is a memoir I recommend to any young woman contemplating donning the veil.

“Read this memoir long before you take those final vows.“
~K. C. Sanders Book Reviewer~

Secrets of a Nun is a revealing, uncompromisingly honest, and deeply moving look into one woman’s soul.

At fifteen, Elizabeth, a talented athlete, gives up her dreams of competing in the Olympics to become a nun. Separating from her mother and twin sister, she leaves her friends and familiar world behind to pursue a saintly life. But she finds herself unprepared for what lies ahead. While her cloistered life commences as a profound spiritual and emotional journey, personal disenchantment takes root and slowly grows over the next twenty years.

Elizabeth recoils against the restrictive atmosphere of convent life. She struggles with conflicting emotions until a forbidden love affair forces her to come to grips with her needs as a woman. Over the course of striving to find her authentic self, she ultimately feels compelled to leave the Order.

A true story inspires this fascinating account of courage and passion.
It will shock you and bring a smile to your face as you follow the course of a young woman’s obsession to become a spiritual seeker—an obsession that, over time, transforms into a deeply felt desire for personal liberation.

Father Callahan is forced back into dangerous filth, corruption, and crime. Can he remain a celibate priest, or will he abandon the life of faith for more sensual pleasures? Will he stay a good man or return to the dark criminal life he once knew so well?”

At Home Among Sinners
The John Callahan Series Book 1
by Elizabeth Upton
Genre: Romantic Mystery Thriller

John Callahan is a good man with a bad past — and his past will not let him live in peace.
Against the odds, he matures from a teenage Belfast street thug and an IRA killer to a happily married man and expectant father. Then fate snatches away his wife, his unborn child—and his world—in the flash of a tragic accident for which he feels responsible.

Years later, just as he begins to find peace and serenity again as a monk in a rural Irish monastery, a vindictive superior banishes the handsome young priest to a derelict parish in New York City. Ripped away from his quiet, cloistered life, Father Callahan is plunged back into a dangerous cacophony of filth, corruption, and crime.

Will he remain a celibate priest or will he abandon the life of faith for more sensual pleasures? Will he remain a good man or return to the dark criminal life he once knew so well?

In this exciting, insightful novel, Elizabeth Upton puts readers inside the mind of a passionate, wounded, and angry young priest as he struggles to live in a state of grace among new friends and enemies in a foreign land.

The Web of Darkness and Light
The John Callahan Series Book 2

Demons never tire. Like the banshees of Irish legend, they cling to John Callahan and fill his heart with wails of despair.

No matter how John tries to live an exemplary life, the former IRA killer is haunted by the memories of the horrors he has suffered — and those he has inflicted in return. Not the monastic life, not the vows of the priesthood, not the move from Ireland to New York City has brought him peace.

In this second gripping novel in the series by Elizabeth Upton, John Callahan has resigned from the priesthood in the hope of living a simpler life as a professor at New York University. However, his promise to a distraught colleague — who soon turns up dead — plunges him into another mystery alongside his friend Ronald Casey, a detective with the NYPD. Who would want to kill a professor of neuroscience? What could be contained in the briefcase she has guarded, quite literally, with her life?

It begins to be clear that Dr. Shannon Grey Feather has discovered a cure for addiction and several complex brain disorders. That is a medical breakthrough worth millions — and one worth killing over. Once again confronted by murder’s cruelty and life’s injustices, Callahan must find a killer while coming to terms with his criminal past.
He longs for true peace and genuine love, but before he can hope for a bright future, he must revisit his dark past — where the looming demons dwell.

The John Callahan Series Book 3

How much does family matter? And what if there are unknown details about them?

John Callahan visits his beloved grandmother, Annabelle, at her 500-acre estate in Ireland. The peaceful countryside is beautiful, with lush hills that overlook the coastline, so different from Callahan’s home in New York City. After Annabelle dies, Callahan discovers that she’s left everything to him.
However, there are some challenges with the staff, where secrets abound, including murder and heightened security on the estate that can’t seem to control the chaos that is happening.

Callahan is perplexed, wanting to solve the murder, understand the workings of the estate, and also longing for a relationship that would create a happy home. He meets Sara, the woman in charge of the horses at the estate, and longs to be with her.
Throughout the busy days of work, travel, and wondering if he’s in love, John remembers Annabelle’s words. “Whenever you need my help, rub this precious jewel for consolation, wisdom, and protection. Call me when needed, dearest Johnnie, and I shall come to you.”

Learn how Callahan meets the challenges of revenge, murder, and love to discover the true meaning of friends and family.

BOOK DESCRIPTION:

“To Avenge The Past, One Must Unearth Its SECRETS”…

Catherine “Tink” Mabry, an up and coming attorney, is shocked by her recent inheritance from her estranged family on the bayou. After her mother died during childbirth, Tink’s father had quickly relocated them to the big city of Atlanta, Georgia. With no memory of her mother, she is determined to learn more about her lineage and decides to visit the bayou town of Kane, Louisiana. Candace, Tink’s co-worker and best friend, agrees to make the trip with her.

Before she has time to explore her family’s history or decide what to do with the declining property, local murders plague Tink’s homecoming. She quickly finds herself caught in the middle of a multiple murder investigation—and quite possibly, the prime suspect. When Candace retreats back to Atlanta, Tink finds support among an unlikely cast of characters and sets out to discover clues that have haunted and tormented her family for generations.

Could a concealed crime from the 1800s, or the family’s estate itself, harbor keys to unlocking the past?

The more they learn, the more they question whether some secrets are best left buried.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Kim Carter is a multi-award-winning author of gripping suspense, chilling thrillers and haunting historical mystery novels.

She was a finalist for the 2018 Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award and a recipient of the 2017 TCK Publishers’ Readers’ Choice Award for her book Murder Among The Tombstones. This is the first book in her Clara and Iris Mystery series. The characters in this series are a couple of overly curious widows who become private investigators. These funny women were inspired by Kim’s mother and her mom’s best friend.

Her other titles include Sweet Dreams, Baby Belle, When Dawn Never Comes, Deadly Odds, No Second Chances, and her latest, And The Forecast Called For Rain.

Kim’s writing career started after she suffered an illness that made her housebound for a couple of years. An avid reader of mystery novels herself, she embarked on writing as a means of filling her time. She began to share those early writings with friends and family who encouraged her to pursue writing professionally.

Her health struggles and successes have been chronicled on The Lifetime Television in early 2000, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution, Women’s Day Magazine, and Guidepost.

Prior to her illness, Kim worked in many different capacities in county government as her “Day Job,” but ultimately, it was her job as a correctional officer that provided her the opportunities to talk and interact with a diverse group of people. Her experiences ran the gamete of inspiring success stories to tragic endings, much like her mysteries.

She self-published her first book No Second Chances. One of the guest speakers at the launch party she had at the Performing Arts Center in Newnan, Georgia included her close friend retired Atlanta Police Chief Eldrin Bell. This connection would become helpful as she started doing more research for other books, this time working with a small publishing house.

Kim began networking and made connections with numerous homicide detectives, medical examiners, and prison officials. Her research has taken her many places including morgues, death row, and the occasional midnight visit to cemeteries.

Kim is a college graduate of Saint Leo University with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. She is an avid reader, has raised three successful grown children and resides outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

Kim’s books can be purchased online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, BAM, and Indie Bound.

Let’s Keep the Written Word Going ~ A Blog Post From Kim

My mother instilled in me early on the importance of a handwritten thank- you note. I’ll never forget how proud I was to receive my first set of monogrammed stationery. I would give anything to know where she’d purchased it now. It was a lovely shade of pale pink and looked very hoity toity! Long story short, I was all that. Lol.
