Promised Valley Rebellion {#Giveaway}

Prehistoric farmers inhabit a fertile river valley they believe their gods promised them in return for their good behavior. Their enemies, hunters roaming the mostly barren hills beyond the mountains enclosing the valley, believe their gods gave it to them.

When the farmers’ king refuses to allow the marriage of the coming-of-age prince to the daughter of the farmer who saved the king;s life in the last war with the hunters, her brother decides he has to help his sister and the prince, his boyhood friend, correct the flagrant injustice.

That decision leads them and their youthful allies into a rebellion against the king and his officials, who rule the kingdom from their bluff-top town. The far more numerous farmers in the villages below, who despise the officials but not eh king, and who admire the prince, are in a position to determine whether the rebels will succeed or face execution for treason. – FROM THE BOOK BACK

ABOUT THE AUTHOR…Ron Fritsch grew up in rural northern Illinois. His father and mother were poor but hard-working tenant farmers who loved to read. So did he and his siblings (one older sister, one older brother, one younger sister) .

Because he inherited the gift of a good memory, and therefore looked forward to taking a test as much as a quarterback craves throwing a long ball to an open receiver, he obtained a bachelor’s degree with honors from the University of Illinois (major: history; minor: English literature) and a law degree cum laude from Harvard Law School.

After his abrupt dismissal from the upper reaches of the legal profession over being openly gay, he became a public-service attorney representing indigent and disabled adults and abused and neglected children. All during his life as a lawyer, he spent most of his time writing arguments on behalf of his clients, in the trial courts as well as the higher appeals courts.

He’s writing and publishing a four-book Promised Valley series of novels asking whether history and civilization, with their countless heaven-sanctioned wars and genocides, might’ve begun and proceeded differently than they did.

Promised Valley Rebellion is the first novel in the series. The titles of the three following novels will be Promised Valley War, Promised Valley Conspiracy, and Promised Valley Peace. – REVISED FROM AUTHOR’S WEB  BIO
