I am having a great time editing this old friend. There are some pretty major changes to be made. First of all, I have to figure out how to get the amazing history of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi into the story without having it sound like a history lesson.
Also, there is no evidence that there were actually indigenous people within the house at any time. However, given Shepard's sense of justice and his liberal views - he educated the children of the tribe - I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the story I'm telling has more truth than just the Trail of Death facts. There is something about this house and this tribe that speak to me. I'm hoping that they will speak to an agent or editor some day.
