NEW SERIES EXPLORES LOVE AND ADVENTURE
IN THE 1930’s ALASKAN WILDERNESS
Author Bonnie Leon takes readers to new heights in her latest book, Touching the Clouds, the first book in the new Alaskan Skies series.
Leon introduces readers to Kate Evans, an adventurous and independent young woman with a pioneering spirit. When she leaves her home in Washington State to follow her dream of being an Alaskan bush pilot, she knows it will be an uphill battle. But she never expected it to be quite like this. As the lone woman in a man’s world, she finds that contending with people’s expectations is almost as treacherous as navigating the wild arctic storms.
When she crosses paths with a mysterious man living alone in the forbidding wilderness, she faces a new challenge. Can Kate break through the walls he has put up around his heart? And will fear keep her from realizing her dreams?
Book 1 in the Alaskan Skies series, Touching the Clouds
will draw readers in with raw emotion and suspense,
all against the stunning backdrop of the Alaskan wilds
during the 1930s.
ISLAND BREEZES
It’s 1935 and she’s running away. Not quite. She’s flying away on what was supposed to be her wedding day. Only a week before she canceled the wedding. Now she’s following her dream of becoming an Alaskan bush pilot.
It took courage to fly her plane from Washington to Anchorage without a job or place to live, but her determination to follow her dream drove her. After struggling to get that dream job, she still had to struggle with acceptance as a female in a man’s world. Added to that is an incident from her past that continues to haunt her.
In her flights she meets people in some very remote places – one of which intrigues her greatly. In spite of their mutual attraction, he also is running from a past which torments him. Will they be able to overcome their pasts to enjoy the present and plan for the future?
This is book one in Ms Leon’s Alaskan Series. If you read this, I can assure you that you, too, will be eagerly awaiting book two.
