Oh, I do so love the writers in my other fandom!

The last paragraphs of the epilogue to "English Rose, French Thorn"...

Lafayette left the camp that night, unable to sleep. In spite of the danger, he scaled the Barren Hill and stood on its peak. With the warm summer wind blowing through his hair, he watched the British soldiers leave the occupied capital city, looking like so many ants streaming

To coin your expression, those words do "rock out loud." Gorgeous words. Oh how I miss my "boys" right now.

Thank you for sharing.

You're welcome!

It's amazing how Real Life is incorporated into fictional story lines. This story dealt with the daughters of a British general, the aftermath of Valley Forge and the death of Lafayette's toddler daughter. Marla wove all the historical and fictional threads into one incredible story.

I only hope that I can accomplish such with "Echos".

We shall see...

Echos?

"Echoes in the Hills" is my story for that fandom. It picks up after the Battle of Brandywine while Lafayette is recovering from his wound at the Moravian Hospital in Bethlehem. It involves my original characters, some local history I learned while a tour guide during the Bicentennial, a load of ammo coming down the Delaware, a plot to kidnap Our Group's favorite General and my beloved Ellie coming face to face with her future.

Vampires, Cursed Lovers, spies and the reality of the American Revolution ... here's hoping I can pull it off!
