Candace Simar

Words are powerful. At the beginning of time, God spoke His word into an empty void and the world came forth. Words start wars and bring peace. Words cut down or build up, encourage or defeat, empower or take away. Words touch us as nothing else. Words are gifts we speak to each other or the weapons we use to wound and destroy.

Thank you for taking the time to share the words I've placed on these pages. They are my gift to you.

"Abercrombie Trail, Candace Simar's first-rate debut novel, beautifully captures the wild unpredictability of nineteenth-century immigrant life out on the Great Plains." Diana Ossana is an American Academy Award-winning writer who has collaborated on writing screenplays, teleplays, and novels with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry.
Diana and Larry received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Brokeback Mountain.

"Endlessly fascinating...The ultimate 'I was there' book. I have read many books about Scandinavians coming to America in the turbulent 1860s, but thanks to author Candace Simar, this is the first time I was ever transported from my easy chair right into the book to experience it with them. The images of courage, cruelty, intolerance, discovery, and simple pleasures have stayed with me. This is one book I won't forget."
Jack Koblas author of Let Them Eat Grass Trilogy
