5 STARS! Anyone who enjoys historical fiction and especially Americana will enjoy Sovrin's Star--there's a bit of a Mark Twain flavor here and plenty of atmosphere to make you feel like you've stepped back into 1865 and the Reconstruction era. These characters are destined to live with you long after you return to the twenty-first century. --Tyler R. Tichelaar, PhD and award-winning author 5 STARS! an emotional journey --DBurks, Amazon

Author Information

I'm an auditory learner so listening and telling stories is the most natural and enjoyable thing to me. As a Kiwi-Samoan living in Mississippi, I am blessed with a perspective that's genuinely unique. I was born to immigrants in New Zealand. My parents migrated from Western Samoa in the late '50s. When I moved to the US in 2016, I wasn't sure what to expect. The South is full of great people, and a place rich with history-stories waiting to be told. My first language was Samoan. My parents knew I would learn English by default. So, I listen in Samoan, think in English, and communicate in a hybrid pigeon mashup of my experiences. My view of a subject is often a softer meeker version when everyone else's is a harsher take. That's not to say I don't tell the truth; I prefer selling an idea rather than jamming stuff down someone's throat. As an author I sometimes sound naïve, I think that's more to do with my fascination with the idea of innocence within a set of circumstances that would entice people to want to read my stuff rather than style. I've explored various writing methods and formats in getting to a place where I wholeheartedly accept that's it's about story! Nothing more, nothing less. - John Reyer Afamasaga johnreyerafamasaga.org
