Praise for Kari August: “Entertaining, original, exceptionally well written . . . impressive storytelling talents.” Midwest Book Review

The harsh and rugged Colorado frontier of 1875 is not the type of place most would consider suitable for a recent widow to establish a home of her own. Yet that is exactly what Henrietta Schodde determines she will do as she impetuously buys a cabin in the newly forming settlement of Estes Park. Despite assurances from Henrietta that the locals appear amiable, her relatives are concerned and recruit the assistance of long-time family friend Collan Wallace, who unbeknownst to Henrietta, has also just begun homesteading in the area. The last thing Collan desires is to watch over the woman who has been his nemesis since childhood. But the pair quickly realize that there is more than each other to fight about when they discover an unscrupulous Englishman, Lord Dunraven, is hungry for their land. Endearing and engaging, Settling the Wind, is historical fiction based on actual events that reveals the courage of Colorado’s pioneers in the face of more struggles than they could have imagined.

This is a well written novel compelling me to read more by this author. The frontier stories of settling of the west "hook" me in instantly, Not being from the western part of the country, I enjoy learning so much from the earliest days of the settlements. The research is well done. I am happy to recommend this author who is new to me.

engaging and based on some true characters

This was a nice story and it was very well written. I was very disappointed in the narration by Virtual voice. The story had some very emotional parts and there was absolutely no emotion in the virtual voice, which made me wonder if I was imagining the emotion. First and last book I will spend money on.

Great story, narration has a lot to be desired

Very much enjoyed this book based out of my current state of Colorado. Great characters, strong descriptions of the time period and a fun storyline created a great book. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Great Historical Novel

Interesting story, but the performance is distracting. Lots of mispronounced words and odd phrasing…it has to be a bot or automated voice. No English speaking human would make such mistakes.

Good story—unfortunate performance bot

Makes me wish I was born in a different time.

The virtual narrator was great, the only thing I noticed was the occasional mispronounced name. This is the second virtual narrator and this time it was much better than the first, who was female.

Good story.
