Richard is a naval hero who remained with Lord Nelson during his death after the great battle at Trafalgar.
When Richard goes to America, he meets an uncommon woman who captures his heart. His travails through the deep South to find her kidnapped daughter lead him through the travesties of slavery and upon his return to England, he finds he's brought more back from America than he bargained for.
Russell Crowe from Master and Commander - good choice of visual!
ReplyDeleteWho else could it be?
DeleteI am with Alex. Perfect. You are making me wish I could BE IN one of your stories!
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe you just might be. I'm sure I could fit you in somewhere. lol.
DeleteOf course, who better than Russel Crowe?
ReplyDeleteWell, there was Ionn Gryyfudd, but he's too young as Horatio Hornblower, so I'll save him for someone else.
DeleteOooh, intriguing!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like.
DeleteThird time lucky, I hope!
ReplyDeleteYour gallant heroes could set many a female heart a-flutter . . .
Thanks. I love my heroes. They are sooo gallant and charming. And none of them want to be married. They just can't help themselves.
DeleteNice model for the character, Anne, Russell Crowe or a look-alike?
ReplyDeleteI like the premise of the story, especially addressing the issue of slavery. Attitudes can be changed when we see something that jars our 'perfect' world vision.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and I like your own version of the A-Z. It's a good way to get to know something about your writing.
It's Russell. From "Master and Commander, the Far side of the World." Great movie, but very manly, if you know what I mean. I do address slavery in my book and the consequences of what it means to Richard. And thanks. I like your version of the A-Z too. I love Paris and want to go even moreso now.
DeleteNice! I love your theme! And I do love Russell. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenn. I have to say, I'm warming to him. I didn't particularly like him at first, but he's grown on me.
DeleteVenereal disease? Haha, just kidding, I don't know why that just popped in my head. Really interesting to have America enter the picture and get a foreigner's view on slavery.
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL. Especially Richard. He doesn't think about it until he's forced to. And then he finds he has quite a few choices to make.
DeleteVery please to meet you Captain Richard. Do come over for tea some time!
ReplyDeleteYes, and stay awhile.
DeleteYou must've posted his pic before, because this is totally how i picture him in my head.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love that movie
Yeah, a long time ago. That movie is awesome.
DeleteI particularly like the plot on this one.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to be able to make it everything I've dreamed up in my head.
