    Seasons of Want and Plenty Series

    About this series

    New ways to make a fortune and settle old scores.

     

    A lie will travel around the world before the truth reaches your next-door neighbor. So says Ivan Lukin's boss at Fort St. Michael on the Bering Sea. But the rumors have proven true; the United States of America has purchased Russian America from the Czar and renamed it Alaska. Now, as the colony erupts in chaos, everyone has a decision to make: Do I stay, or do I go back to Russia?

     

    Lukin, like most colony-born Creoles, has never been to Russia and has no desire to go. So when the young American signalman George Adams comes to him with a business proposition, the way forward is clear.

     

    Amid the mayhem caused by Russia's withdrawal, Lukin, Adams, and a band of followers make their way up the Yukon River to establish a fur trading station at the mouth of the Tanana River. The Tanana is virgin ground for the fur trade, but they are not alone in the race for its wealth. Other Americans from the Telegraph Expedition have partnered with Lukin's childhood friend and new adversary Yosif Denisov. Led by the beautiful monster named Zia, they're coming for money, and for blood.

     

    Based around real events in Alaska's past, Meridian is Book Three of the series Seasons of Want and Plenty.

      If he is caught, he will be executed as a spy.   Ivan Lukin is the mixed-blood son of the Russian America Company's most renowned fur trader. He speaks five languages and knows the subarctic forest, its Native inhabitants, and the Alaska fur business like no one else. As a young man he was destined for great things, but when famine and mutiny brought his world crashing down he was demoted, reassigned, and made to taste the shame of his own mistakes. Then in 1862 the Company sends him on a mission as delicate as it is dangerous: Travel alone up the River Kwifpak to spy on the British fur traders who have built an outpost illegally on Russian soil.   Buried in debt, vexed by insomnia, and followed upriver by a monster who devours human souls, he has no choice but to accept. But as he lines his canoe up the broad river into the blank spaces on the map, fate hands him the most unexpected of gifts.   Based around real events in Alaska's past, Fireweed is Book One of the series Seasons of Want and Plenty.

      It is 1865, and the Russian America Company has kept Ivan Lukin busy working as a boat captain and dog teamster on the treeless Bering Sea coast at Fort St. Michael. His wife has left him, and with the return of his teenage daughter from boarding school he is thrust into a new life as a single parent. The ocean wind is cold and the monster graven into the face of the moon continues to watch his every move.   Then a ship from the United States pulls into the harbor carrying two dozen Americans in blue uniforms. They've been sent to lay a telegraph wire from Siberia, through Russian America, and down to San Francisco. Or so they claim. When Lukin is assigned to serve as their guide, the Company makes one thing clear: His job is to watch everything they do and report on their movements, just in case. Because a rumor has been spreading through Russia's North American colony, something that, if true, will change everyone's lives forever.   Based around real events in Alaska's past, Signals is Book Two of the series Seasons of Want and Plenty.
