Joan of Arc
I hope you enjoy THE SWORD OF THE MAIDEN, where you'll get “the inside scoop” of how Nicolas and Katelyn set out to protect Mont Saint Michel by helping Joan of Arc turn the tide of the Hundred Years’ War, while their avowed enemy Abdon tries to stop them. My aim in writing this novel was to help readers come to appreciate Joan’s remarkable contribution to world history. You will also discover what lies in store for Nicolas and Katelyn in the 3rd and final book in the series, THE SECRET OF THE ABBEY.
In preparation for reading my fictional account of Joan’s incredible story, I encourage you to watch "Joan of Arc," a docudrama about the unwavering faith of this girl who saved a nation, which was produced by BYUtv. Written and directed by Emmy award-winning filmmaker Russell Holt, the 80-minute docudrama chronicles the story of this humble girl guided by the voice of God who became a symbol of courage and faith by leading her country to victory. Check your local listings of BYU TV to see reruns of "Joan of Arc," watch it online, or purchase it on DVD.
By the way, I had no idea this film was being made when I wrote my book, but the filmmaker, Russell Holt, shares my feelings about Joan. I believe as you become more familiar with her story, you will come to gain an understanding of why her intervention was important to America. And this isn’t just me talking! Mr. Holt himself, stated “Joan of Arc played a fundamental role in shaping world history by leading the French army to victory against the English forces. The French Navy would later play an indispensable role in the United States’ Revolutionary War. Without Joan of Arc’s heroic and divine mission, one could argue the nation of France and the United States would not exist as they do today.” Sounds a bit like Jean le Vieux and Nicolas, doesn’t it?
Also, check out my website for photos of the Joan of Arc sites you will read about in THE SWORD OF THE MAIDEN. I promise, it will enhance your reading experience. My website is at: kathleencperrin.com and then click on “Joan of Arc Sites.”
