My next book, Daniel Boone and Me, will be out soon. The final editing is done and the cover is ready. This is a book for YA and older readers and is novella length, under 40,000 words. I’m hoping to find some fellow bloggers who would like to read an ARC for their comments and perhaps a mention on their blogs.
Here’s the book blurb:
When the two Corey children are orphaned in an Indian attack on the frontier of Kentucky, Daniel Boone tracks their escape through the woods and brings them to his home in Fort Boonesborough. There they will live with him, his wife Rebecca, and their eight children in their crowded cabin, where she and her brother Thatch learn much about Colonel Boone and why he is regarded as one of the greatest frontier explorers and hunters. Eliza is soon immersed in the hard life of a frontier woman – doing the many household chores, working gardens and crops, foraging for food in the woods, and hunting. After surviving a pivotal historic event in the Revolutionary War – the siege of Boonesborough, Eliza’s own story is integrated into the remainder of Daniel Boone’s life, his constant uprooting of his family to unexplored areas, his failed business ventures, and his growing fame.
This is a tale of life’s challenges in frontier Kentucky, Eliza’s grit and determination in meeting them, and above all, high adventure. It offers a deep look into the long and amazing life of Daniel Boone through the eyes of a young girl.
If anyone who would like a ARC of the book for comments and a possible review on their blog, I’d be most grateful. And please be honest!

This sounds fascinating. I remember watching the Daniel Boone television show when I was a kid. I’ll send you my details if you’re still looking for readers.
Would love to have you read it, Pete.
I’d love to read an ARC, if you aren’t in too much of a hurry :D. I’m a little behind on stuff… as usual.
Ooh Good luck with the new book Noelle.
Thanks, Rosie.
Congratulations, Noelle. I will read it in due course but I don’t like to commit to ARCs.
No problem, Robbie!
I am in something of a hurry to get it out. But thanks so much for the offer.
Congratulations, Noelle. It sounds very interesting and it is a historical period I haven’t read much about. I’ll send you an e-mail. Good luck!
Thanks, Olga!
Congratulations, Noelle. Looking forward to the read.
Thanks, Judith.
Sending an email!
How exciting! I remember you mentioning working on this one. I remember watching reruns of Fess Parker as Daniel Boone when I was little. It caught my imagination. During that time the school took my grade school class to a historic cabin built around 1796 and it looked just like the Daniel Boone scenes.
Anyhow, congratulations on this milestone, Noelle. Awesome! Hugs.
Thanks so much, Teagan! I hope you’ll like the book!
Many congratulations!☺️

Hi Noelle here is my short review of you book, please feel free to post whereever it might be helpful. I will be away for a couple of weeks but will be happy to post elsewhere if you’d like me to.
Here is my review of Daniel Boone and Me by N. A Granger.
Firstly, I have to admit to almost no knowledge of Daniel Boone before reading this book, though I’m sure a U.S. readership knows far more.
The book is written from the point of view of Eliza, a 10 year old who tries to protect her four year old brother Thatcher after witnessing their parents’ murder by the Shawnee. They are rescued by Daniel Boone, who takes them to the fort named after him.
At this point, I expected the book to be entirely in sympathy with the settlers, presenting the Indigenous Americans as bloodthirsty savages. What I hadn’t realised was that Daniel Boone actually had a great deal of respect for the Native Americans. The real villains of the piece are the British who armed the Shawnees during the War of Independence, and some of the settlers who accused Boone of treachery. Obviously Boone frequently engaged in warfare with American Indians, but also praised them for their honesty.
The complex life of Boone is presented in an interesting and engaging way and we also see the difficult lives of the settlers, particularly Eliza and Boone’s wife and eldest daughter, Jemima. The story of Jemima’s kidnap is told, but she is not presented as a helpless victim. Instead she is shown as intelligent and capable, able to shoot and make bullets. The women of the novel are full of courage and determination.
I certainly learned a great deal from the novel. It is a sensitive subject, of course told from the settlers’ standpoint, while acknowledging, particularly in the Author’s Note, the many wrongs done to the Indigenous American peoples.
I would strongly recommend this book as a story worth reading. Whether you are American or not it is a first rate read.
