“Furs and Fevers,” a novel focusing on Kosciusko County’s pioneer history, has now been released in audio format through iTunes, Audible or Amazon.  
Author Lynn MacKaben Brown said, “I enjoyed having a launch party three years ago when my novel was released by Austin-Macauley Publishers, and I have since then given readings from the novel at book clubs and libraries. However, many of today’s readers enjoy listening to books on tape while driving or exercising or doing chores. The release of my novel in audio format meets their needs.”
Brown intends to write an entire series on the history of Indiana, and to that end she is currently at work on book two of the series, “Dust and Destiny,” according to a provided news release.
“I have been doing extensive research related to the customs, politics, businesses, religions and social aspects of this settlement era of Indiana history. My goal is to take actual historical figures and breathe life into how they developed this land. The diversity of personnel is broad — pioneers, Native Americans, priests, farmers, fur traders, politicians, explorers, military leaders. They all have stories and adventures.”
As a former newspaper columnist, registered nurse, and teacher, Brown now enjoys using all of her varied training to create novels that both entertain and inform. She said, “Indiana has been called the Crossroads of America, and it earned that label by hosting a vast array of travelers and homesteaders. There is a wealth of sagas to discover.”
