New historical fiction novel narrated by man and man's best friend
NEW SMYRNA BEACH, Fla. (MMD Newswire) May 20, 2009 -- JC & Angus: 1782 by Dwight L. Harris provides a canine's perspective of American life in Pennsylvania and Virginia after the Revolutionary War. JC Sundin, an old Presbyterian Scot, and his dog Angus, a Cairn terrier, together are the novel's historical storytellers. "You'll love Angus," says Harris. "Ask him and he'll tell you he's loveable."
JC and Angus operate the Happenstance Inn. When the two return to the inn after a brief break, they discover Roger Timken, who has been run off his farm for not paying his taxes, as well as the local judge and sheriff, who are stealing money and selling farms like Roger's. Adventure soon takes JC, Angus and their caretaker, Donna, from Happenstance to Philadelphia, where they meet Thomas Jefferson, who enlists the characters in a federal hunt to find missing printing plates.
Harris intends JC & Angus: 1782 to depict history through two humorous and adventurous characters for readers of all ages. "The story is about an old man and his dog fighting to keep food on the table, pay taxes with script and help the federal government - Jefferson and those boys - have the time to invent our new government," describes Harris.
