ABOUT THE AUTHOR
After serving as a missionary and then a local-church pastor, Gary Brumbelow is adding a third career as a writer. His first novel, published by Elk Lake, is set to release August 1.
Someplace North, Someplace Wild is the story of a young cowboy seeking his fortune in the mountain meadow country of British Columbia, Canada. When he's framed for murder he has two weeks to find the killer or lose his wilderness ranch dream forever.
Gary's readers embrace traditional values like the fear of God, the image of God in man, the inestimable value of a single human life, the power of marriage, the value of family, the role of the church, the blessing of public and private virtue, personal responsibility, a strong work ethic, freedom, the rule of law, the rights enshrined in our constitution, the knowledge of God, reverence for the Bible, and the confession of Christ in the public square.
MY REVIEW
Someplace North, Someplace Wild has vivid descriptions that transport you to the world of ranching in a raw and wild country. Fresh out of college with a degree and determined to live his dream, Cody gets a work permit to British Columbia and leaves his Texas home, but things don't go as planned. A good deed turns into a nightmare.
The characters of Cody and Julie held my attention from the beginning and soon revealed their many layers. The impending suspense gripped my heart and had me turning the pages as I wondered what would come next.
An easy-to-read story filled with Biblical values found me rooting for Cody. The budding romance between Cody and Julie was sweet and inspirational. I loved the story and look forward to reading book 2.
I received a complimentary copy from the author; a positive review is not required. All opinions are my own.
Great cover
