Follow on Google News | Strange Inheritance: a MysteryMan inherits--and publishes--silver rush thriller manuscript 108 years in the making
By: Premio Publishing “It was typed and ready for submission to publishers,” Because Beckstrand’s author-grandfather had grown up in the back country of Northern California in the early days of the last century “his writing was filled with intense action, but also a real care for the land and its creatures,” Beckstrand said. Being careful not to destroy the story’s folksy vernacular, Beckstrand decided to fill the gaps and burnish it a bit. “The language practically vibrated with authenticity,” The result: “To Swallow the Earth,” by Ransom Wilcox. “It’s a thriller and a romance about man and a woman, each searching for missing family members, who clash amid a Nevada silver rush scheme that leaves both unsure who to trust -- and scrambling to stay alive,” Beckstrand said. “While it has the hardened male players you’d expect in a story about that era,” Beckstrand said, “it also has a strong female lead character.” Beckstrand is proud of his grandfather’ Beckstrand, who has more than 20 published titles, kept his grandfather’ Wilcox also has a book of short stories on the fanciful reminiscences of his early, rugged years in the Sacramento Valley and Sierra Nevada Mountains: “Horse & Dog Adventures in Early California.” Get it in a Goodreads giveaway: https://www.goodreads.com/ End
