Hello everyone. My name is Allison Bruning. I'm a historical fiction author who writes about the Shawnee Native American. My book Calico is written in the voice of the Shawnee people, something that is rarely done. I wanted to write a series of book that portrays these wonderful people not as bloodthirsty killers but as human beings. I think too many times the media has misrepresented this tribe and given them a bad rap.
Here's a brief synopsis: A haunting prophecy has been cast against her. In a harsh world deep within the western American territories of Ohio and Kentucky, French Duchess Calico Marie Turner must learn to survive among the Shawnee and to trust the one man who hates her the most, Chief Little Owl Quick as the Wind.
Calico’s story will immerse you deeply into the world of the frontier Shawnee, where you will find characters at once surreal and totally believable. Bruning’s knowledge of Native American and colonial era language is captivating to read. Her understanding of the period clothing, habits, and lifestyle is evident as she weaves a tale that draws you in from the first chapter and leaves you hungry for more.
