Excellent novel.
First book I read written by this author was The Writer, first book in San Juan Islands Mystery series. This book like the others were written, will make you smell the dirt or shiver in the snow storm. Made me think and question my beliefs also.
Please take time and enjoy this book and all the others too.

Always fabulous!
Generally speaking, I am not a historical fan, however this book weaves the past and present so seamlessly and the plot is so well thought out, that I absolutely love it! Every D.W. book I have read has drawn me into the very end, regardless if its on a subject I thought I would like. The true test of an author I believe is engaging a reader so completely that even a weather report is exciting. Thank you so much, Mr. Ulsterman, I eagerly await your next creation!

"An Amazing Revelation"
This is a sweet, well written romance revealing past history and present day. Morning McGreevy discovers a hidden journal in her great-grandfather's attic. The story reveals his history and secrets, and as the story moves forward to modern life of Morning McGreevy. The story is full of mystery, romance, and sacrifice. One needs to read it to the very shocking ending. A very beautiful, well written story, I enjoyed reading.

Morning's Adventure
This book was amazing to me, as I love family history. Morning finds an old journal, written by her great grandfather Cy. As she reads it, things seem to happen to her, and she just believes it is just coincidence. Morning has to follow her instinct to see where her grzndfather lived. Her adventures along the way are a must read. Loved this book. You will enjoy the story of the past, seeing the differences of two generations.

Can the past see the future?
I started this book after finishing The Irish Cowboy. It took a minute longer to warm up to but it was not long before I was again engrossed.
It is … the feeling I get when I visit my grandparents home, that he built himself, and find I am anchored. When I smell the roses I planted in Grandma’s memory… When I ride my pony and remember the great uncle who was a rough rider…
Thank you.

A sad but moving story.
A great read, almost as good as Irish Cowboy. A few spelling errors but that’s all. But, why did you introduce Waylon’s friend as a possible block between Morning and Waylon, as I read it, and then not follow up on it. ?? There was a lots of detail in the first half of the story and then it seemed to thin out. Maybe some of the story got cut but it did affect my reading. Highly recommend.

Where do I begin?
So you hate. Today's politics woven into what would have been a great series.
Ouch. For me it was an overload of what you don't like. But the hardest to deal with is fish having necks. How do you break a fishes neck when they don't have one?
On the positive side, I liked the belief in the unbelievable. Things that can't be explained. That was why I kept reading.

Anyone who knows me, knows of all the paranormal activity that some of my family have experienced. That made this extremely interesting to me. While I thoroughly enjoyed the story, some out there will not appreciate it as I did. Never have I felt threatened in these events either. In fact, there have been events, experienced by many in my family, where these were, indeed, warnings. That said, personally I really liked it. I’m onto #3!

Wow! This was an amazing story. It is hard to describe the intensity and the unusual events happening. Savage was a settlement where the history of this family takes place. The past crashing into the present, through a grandmother, Candace, revealing a scroll written by her father Cy. This story will keep you engaged from start to finish, enjoy.

Savage is book two in the Montana Adventures chronicling the young adulthood of Morning McGreevy as she finds a journal written by her great-grandfather Cy which will have a profound impact on her life. I love the descriptions of Savage, Montana and the characters that populate this book. Morning is a character worth getting to know.

Very interesting read.
The connection between Morning and Cy McGreevy are interesting. The author takes you on a trip back in time when Morning reads the journal that her great grandfather, Cy, wrote. Morning has several encounters that she cannot fully explain. With help from her professor, she begins to understand better.

Ok I hooked. I’ve read 2 in this series and now I need to read everything he writes. Mr Ulsterman is a master of character development. The two books I read are so different but so similar. They are heartwarming, romantic, thrillers. I couldn’t put them down. Bravo Mr Ulsterman you now have an avid reader.

I always love D.W. Ulsterman's books. No exception to this one. I have to tell you there were several surprises for me the book. I took the weekend off and read it because I knew I wouldn't be able to put it down.
The Circle of Life speaks throughout.

A Must Read
I usually don't write a book review but this time I had too. It is too good for words. It consumes your emotions. You can not put it down. Just read it and you'll understand what I mean.

A strong mans honesty against a powerful narcissist, punishment for a friendly guilty of.
I loved this story. Mr. Ulsterman writes a wonderful story of honesty hard work against wealth and privilege. My second good read from this author second only to The Irish Cowboy.

Definitely will read this author again. Compelling, gripping story line.
Love over generations through a journal written while in jail. What a well written story from beginning to the end!

Great Irish tale
I am Irish... so I couldn't put it down. A tale of life and full of love and lore. I know what the Irish history of love and land is. I too have followed my grandparents back to the land.

Fascinating tale of dead grandfather's contact with granddaughter.
An old journal written years before her birth suddenly have an effect on a college students life. Well crafted story with great characters!

Ancestors are a treasure
This is an exciting tale of the ties that bind a family together. Please read this book as it explains many things that people often dismiss as coincidence or question whether or not they actually happened.
