December 2013
It's been almost a year since we published TIMBER; Fire in the Pines. When it was newly published the staff at The Cottages of Vadnais Heights gave each resident a copy of "TIMBER" as a Valentine's gift. I know, sweet huh?
The people who received the book last year were so generous with their comments we thought we'd revisit The Cottages and do a book event with The Last Dance for their holiday party. Many people were eager to read the new book, but we had to wait to hear back from readers to get their comments.
The books are both great reads, similar in some ways and different in others. "TIMBER" is historical fiction and "DANCE" is more of a historical romance. "TIMBER" is more action driven and is a faster paced novel filled with adventure and suspense. "DANCE" is more dialog oriented, centering on relationships and family. A lot of "DANCE" takes place on the farm and lodge on the land the decendents of characters Thor and Sarah Nilsson from TIMBER own. It's a slower paced poignant story with language you'll want to take time and savor.
Surprisingly we hear from a lot of readers that they enjoyed the books equally well. Which is quite a feat considering TIMBER was so well received and beloved by almost everyone who read it. It's funny because when my sister and I originally read the books we couldn't decide which we liked better either! It's interesting how comments for both books run along similar themes as well. Good job Sandy!
