The Long Journey is Christian historical fiction.

In 1830, President Andrew Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act into law authorizing the removal of southern tribes to Indian Territory in the west. In 1838, the Trail of Tears occur when the remaining people are forcibly removed and marched a thousand plus miles on foot.

George Massey, a twenty year old Cherokee, finds himself being force-marched to Indian Territory during the winter of 1838. Eventually, he gets lost in the Kentucky woods and finds a family who takes him in. The novel follows his adventures as he travels west and gets involved in all sorts of historical events from the 1840’s to 1850’s.


Published: 2015, paperback and ebook

Currently the only novel & it was going to be at least 3 novels.The second one would've been based around the Civil War, but after doing research on what the various tribes in Indian Territory did during that time, I decided to abandon the idea for a while.
