This fall Summerside Press will be
launching the new American Tapestries™ fiction line, delighting romance readers
and history lovers alike. The debut releases in the series, Queen of the Waves by Janice Thompson
and Where the Trail Ends by Melanie
Dobson, will be available in stores on October 1.
Each
American Tapestries™ novel sets a heart-stirring love story against the
backdrop of an epic moment in American history. Whether they fought in her
battles, built her cities or forged paths to new territories, a diverse
tapestry of men and women shaped this great nation into the Land of
Opportunity. Even then, as is true now, the search for romance was a major part
of the American Dream.
Summerside
hopes to build on the success they have found with the Love Finds You™ series,
which has sold almost one million units during the past four years. American Tapestries™ has the appeal and
ongoing potential of the popular Love Finds You™ line, but it is an epic series
with longer books that have a more premium, literary feel.
“While we were brainstorming ideas for the new series, we
gave some thought to what our readers enjoyed most about the Love Finds You™
series,” explains Rachel Meisel, Summerside’s fiction editorial director. “One
thing our readers all say is how they enjoy learning more about real places in
America. We were inspired by that—readers like to learn something; they enjoy
that element of real-life within the pages of fiction. Instead of actual towns playing a major role in the narrative, these
stories are set during actual events in our nation’s history.”
The
editorial team has also taken into account reader feedback via sources such as
Facebook when deciding which historical events will be featured in upcoming
releases. Some of the historical events that will be retold by some of the most
beloved authors in Christian fiction include:
·
Sinking of the Titanic
·
Forging of the Oregon Trail
·
Women’s Suffrage Movement
·
Battle of the Alamo
·
Completion of the Transcontinental
Railroad
·
Signing of the Declaration of
Independence
·
Construction of the Biltmore House
·
First Flight at Kitty Hawk
·
Oklahoma Land Rush
·
American Civil War
·
Yukon Gold Rush
With two titles to be released each fall (October) and
spring (April), Summerside invites lovers of historical romance not only to fall
in love with this line, but to fall in love with America all over again.
