    A global soccer star’s epic ride to the 1950 World Cup places him in shooting distance of his dreams and his own death.  Gilbert Chevalier’s life is a mid-century miracle: wealthy, handsome, beloved by every woman he meets, and blessed with incomparable talents on the soccer field. And it’s all about to end. . . Gil’s father makes him swear off the sport, to focus on his studies. When he leaves the bourgeois comforts of Port-au-Prince high society and moves to the dizzying, jazz-soaked streets of Harlem to attend Columbia University, the promise is broken. Scrimmaging in Central Park, he’s spotted by the U.S. National Team’s coach and is recruited to play for the Americans in the 1950 World Cup in Brazil. And then he flies too close to the sun. Gil’s unraveling is the wild stuff of myth: a plea to God for salvation; secret messages smuggled across continents; lovers shuffled, scorned, and reclaimed; and journeys past the veil between our world and the afterlife. From the Caribbean to the States, to South America and back, Gil’s adventures are lush and lurid, and delivered with a breathless, breakneck pace synonymous with the world’s most popular sport. Death of the Soccer God by Dimitry Elias Legér is a passionate and improbable love story, and a roaring Pan-American tale about the price of fame. Inspired by the unbelievable yet true story of an intrepid young Haitian immigrant and energized with the high-voltage fervor of a packed stadium, Death of the Soccer God is a heady dance between life and death, an answer to the eternal question: can love save us?

    Leaving the misery and difficulties of the Overland Trail behind, Cornelia Rose expected a happy welcome to her new life in the Great Salt Lake City. Instead, she steps into a bees' nest of new challenges. 
Tensions between the Mormons and the U.S. Government escalate sharply in 1857, just as Nellie and her growing family arrive in the Great Salt Lake City. Plunged into the fracas of two forms of government at cross-purposes, Nellie settles her family into their new home while trying to discern the origin of the threats to her very existence. Her husband, Obadiah, begins his judgeship in the county, navigating around his own formidable obstacles. But can she trust he will share the information only he is privy to? 
Nellie is forced to interact with those she opposes both politically and morally. How can she create a safe home for her children? Must she abandon all hope of speaking her mind? 
EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS a fascinating historical tale. Although a dynamic part of our United States history, before the Netflix series American Primeval, little was remembered about the Utah War. This tale omits the gore but provides the historical context of the turbulent time. Journey back in time to the 1800s, with the fourth book in the award-winning "Journey of Cornelia Rose" series, combining the best of historical fiction, women's fiction, and the Old West pioneering spirit as one woman seeks fulfillment in her life. 
“Collen’s narrative style intertwines historical accuracy with contemporary emotional understanding. Her writing is sharp and witty, interspersed with touches of humor and deep reflection… This historical novel is deeply personal and moving. Collen has achieved another remarkable success.” ~ Feathered Quill Book Reviews, Alma Boucher

    'Daniel Wiles connects us viscerally to the past we have buried the history we choose to ignore' Hilary Mantel
If his wife hadn't changed, then maybe Bernardo wouldn't have left, with his son in tow, to try and tame the wilderness of his childhood.
If the land hadn't changed, turning grey and collapsing in their hands each time they grasped for survival, then maybe Bernardo and the boy could have built a life here.
If the Puma hadn't changed everything, then maybe Bernardo wouldn't have to stalk the beast, searching for some measure of revenge, wishing he'd pulled the trigger when he had the chance.
The Puma is a novel that asks what a father would do to ensure his family's survival – and what he might become when that is no longer an option.
