If you'd like more information about me, please come visit my website at www.jkbooks.com and click on my blog. My dog also has a blog and you can find out what it's like to be Bodacious Bo, too. A monthly newsletter called Story Sparks is my way of sharing books about authors I enjoy as well as commenting on life and love. You'll find out more about me than you probably ever wanted to know!

One item not listed on my lists of books is my selection included in an anthology called "Crazy Woman Creek: Women Rewrite the American West" published by Houghton Mifflin I also have a piece in Storytellers II, a book published a few years ago by Multnomah Press and a few short selections in Daily Guideposts of a few years back. My first novella, "The Courting Quilt" is part of a collection that made the New York Times bestsellers September 2011 in a collection called Log Cabin Christmas. The rest of my writing, as they say, is history. Or it was until my first contemporary came out this fall. Called Barcelona Calling, it's the story of a writer who loses her way as she seeks fulfillment thinking she'll find it with fame. It's a laugh out loud book according to reviewers. I hope you'll enjoy it.

I recently finished the 3-book series and savored each book. The story is fantastic, but the author’s telling of it is even more rewarding! Jane Kirkpatrick is a master storyteller! I spent a long time reading the 3 books because I had a heartfelt need to savor and meditate on each one. My copies are now highlighted, notated, and underlined. I highly recommend them all!

5.0 out of 5 stars Madame Dorion/Walks Far Woman
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2013

This is another book in the series of 3 on the history of Madame Dorion or Walks Far Woman. She is an amazing woman. Although all three books are fiction based of fact, still they are very accurate. She was a real person, really had much of whats in the books happen to her. I highly recommend these books to anyone who wants to know what living in the Northwest was really like for women, Native American women and children. Also as to how the people we celebrate as being such great american Icons, like John Jacob Astor, John McLoughlin, and others of the American Fur Co. Astors Fur trading co. as well as the Hudson's bay co. All was not what we think. These books shed light on the amazing courage and stamina of the women of 1800's til now. We should be honoring these women for the courage they faced in the wild as well as dealing with hardships they faced among the forts, men, trappers and fur traders. Native men treated their womem with far more dignity and respect then many would be led to believe. Walks Far Woman is a testimony to this.

This is Book Three in the series. Make sure to read Book One and Two. This book focuses on the last part of Marie's life. It is based on a true frontier story. The novel includes: lost sons, grandchildren, death, faith, conflicts, disease, the lives and loves of her children, daily life, and more. Excellent! This series and this book deserves an A++++++++

3.0 out of 5 stars which also pushes away the good people in her life
Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2015

This last book in the series was kind of a sleeper. It was the end of the series and dealt with where the country was heading and how people were adjusting and what was beginning to happen to the Indians because of the expansion. Marie is an interesting character but although she is so strong in facing life's challenges, she is very weak in standing up for herself and letting go of hurt. She carries a lot of guilt and blame for her one son and spends a lot of time pining over him when he truly isn't worth it, which also pushes away the good people in her life. I enjoyed the first two books in the series immensely. It was still interesting and I learned a lot about the era.

Jane Kirkpatrick is a writer whom I deeply admire for her ability to bring history alive. This series is one of my favourites, which I've read twice now and would like to read again. Jane writes with deep insight into the people and times, making Marie's story relevant and interesting to readers of today. I loved watching Marie grow and chance through the three books in this series. Hold Tight the Thread is beautiful and touching
