The “Pride of Bergenville” is missing! The year is 1821 and Elysse Abbing is one of the most beautiful women the world has ever seen. Maybe not number one, but certainly in the top five. So lovely that her village has bestowed upon her the nickname “the Pride of Bergenville”. Her horse, Arabella, is also magnificent to the eye. On the same night, a young woman is kidnapped, another disappears, and Arabella is stolen. The bumbling Sobey brothers have the horse. Their friend, Jack, has the kidnapped girl, believed to be the daughter of the wealthiest man in the county. Hopes for career changing ransoms are high but seemingly foolproof plans have proved anything but in their execution. The Pride of Bergenville is a laugh out loud tale of mistaken identities, hidden trails, a lost cabin, a horse theft, a girl theft, an escape, another kidnapping, a jail break, a possible group hanging, and a large man known as the “Bull of the Woods”.Will the ransoms be paid? Will the captives be safely returned? Will Jack and the brothers avoid prison terms, or worse, hanging for their actions? Read this classic comedy of errors to find out.
Buy This Book »When my book was ready for publishing, I knew it would be a difficult sell as it is nowhere near what you would call ‘mainstream’. For one, the style of writing was that of an earlier time. And, there was no blood, gore, guts or sex – except during the writing process. But I digress.
What I would need was an outstanding cover that would not only be an eye catcher, but would also portray the nature of my story. After reviewing the websites of a number of designers, Mark of AuthorPackages seemed to be the best fit. I couldn’t have made a better choice. From the beginning of our correspondence, Mark expressed a clear and thorough understanding of exactly the type of story I was trying to tell. With little guidance from me, he came up with an incredible cover that far surpassed expectations.
Lorna’s work on the interior design was equally impressive. At every step in the process, Mark and Lorna sent me their work and asked for my feedback and suggested changes. There was literally nothing I could think of that would have improved their recommendations. I highly recommend them for any and all work an author might need.
