Historical fiction: As Shadows Fall
July 28, 2007 by Lillie
Grace Anne Schaefer – my friend since our first day of college, my writing mentor, and my client – has released the second book in her series The People of the Frozen Earth.
The books are set nearly two thousand years ago in the western US and tell the story of a semi-nomadic people facing the challenges of life in a world far different from ours.
Grace Anne’s books bring her people to life and make the reader realize the human emotions experienced by the people twenty centuries ago are very much the same as those of people today.
The new book, As Shadows Fall, stands alone, but I highly recommend you start with The New Day Dawns and follow The People of the Frozen Earth throughout the entire six-book series.
Grace Anne is working on Book 3 now … and I hope the time between Books 2 and 3 is shorter than between the first two books. Her schedule was interrupted by her heart surgery and her husband’s bladder cancer, and I’m praying that she doesn’t have to face those kinds of interruptions this time around.

Wow, sounds like a real adventure. I love reading about things that normal people wouldn’t usually know. Thanks for the tip. I’ll buy one as soon as I find it.
Thanks, I just ordered it for my son. I hope it’s good
It sounds very interesting. I hope they are not difficult to read for small children.
Both books are great stories, and I recommend you start with Book 1. You can order both books at Amazon.com or from the publisher’s Web site (links in the post). Hope you enjoy them – I’d love to hear what you think.
I hope your son enjoys it. I think it’s a great book.
The series is not for young children. The author is a retired teacher, and her middle school students like her stories, but the books are not appropriate for children younger than that.
