Recap of A to Z Posts & Check Out These A to Z Bloggers

I plan to do this four times during the 30 day A to Z Challenge. They will all publish on Sunday, our day off except for the last, which will roll off on May 1st. In the four posts I will highlight new bloggers (And I hope new writing friends) that I discover along the way of sharing 26 posts in 30 days.

My theme is based on a novel I plan to write during the annual National Novel Writing Month in November. Now that we are seven post in I want to collect the links here for anyone late to the party.

Angus O’Grady – Patriarch and founder of O’Grady Timber & Lumber

Elise Begley – Young, attractive doctor with her first solo practice in Penley River, Clementine’s confidant.

Clementine O’Grady – the heroine, and face of O’Grady Timber & Lumber.

Delilah O’Grady – Mother to the three O’Grady girls, whose health removes her from the day to day operations.

Escaping the Past – The introduction of the Steel Horse Saviors reason for heading west.

Finn Honeycut – The suave, smooth-talking face of the saviors; one that can get in, out and back in trouble at the drop of a hat.

Gus Owens, the U.S. Army sergeant that brought the Saviors together, including a C.S.A. mechanical genius during the height of the War Between the States.

Here is a preview to the posts coming this week:

Harrington – the fast growing city that could make or break both O’Grady Timber & Lumber and Rollins Lumber.

Ingrid O’Grady – the middle O’Grady sister that switches allegiance between Clementine and the oldest sister, Venus.

Pastor James Farragut – The Baptist minister who preaches against many of the things represented by the Steel Horse Saviors.

 Julius Kenner – The bank president of the only bank in Penley River, who may be working with Quentin Rollins or may be working Clementine against Quentin to his bank’s benefit.

Lulubelle – The steam engine that is the unheard star of the novel.

The Mystery of Lulubelle’s Origin – Finding out just how the Saviors came to possess Lulubelle seems to be a tall order. Every story begins differently no matter which Savior is doing the telling.
