Redeemed
The
Matawapit Family Series Book 2
by
Maggie Blackbird
Genre:
Contemporary Inspirational Romance
A
single woman battles to keep her foster child from his newly-paroled
father—a dangerous man she used to love.
Bridget
Matawapit is an Indigenous activist, daughter of a Catholic deacon,
and foster mother to Kyle, the son of an Ojibway father—the
ex-fiancé she kicked to the curb after he chose alcohol over her
love. With Adam out on parole and back in Thunder Bay, she is
determined to stop him from obtaining custody of Kyle.
Adam
Guimond is a recovering alcoholic and ex-gangbanger newly-paroled.
Through counselling, reconnecting with his Ojibway culture and
twelve-step meetings while in prison, Adam now understands he’s
worthy of the love that frightened him enough to pick up the bottle
he’d previously corked. He can't escape the damage he caused so
many others, but he longs to rise like a true warrior in the pursuit
of forgiveness and a second chance. There's nothing he isn't willing
to do to win back his son--and Bridget.
When an old cell
mate’s daughter dies under mysterious circumstances in foster care,
Adam begs Bridget to help him uncover the truth. Bound to the plight
of the Indigenous children in care, Bridget agrees. But putting
herself in contact with Adam threatens to resurrect her long-buried
feelings for him, and even worse, she risks losing care of Kyle, by
falling for a man who might destroy her faith in love completely this
time.

The
Matawapit Family Series Book 1
Genre:
Contemporary M/M Inspirational Romance
It’s
been ten years since Emery Matawapit sinned, having succumbed to
temptation for the one thing in his life that felt right, another
man. In six months he’ll make a life-changing decision that will
bar him from sexual relationships for the rest of his life.
Darryl
Keejik has a decade-long chip on his shoulder, and he holds Emery’s
father, the church deacon, responsible for what he’s suffered: the
loss of his family and a chance at true love with Emery. No longer a
powerless kid, Darryl has influence within the community—maybe more
than the deacon. Darryl intends on using his power to destroy Deacon
Matawapit and his church.
Hoping
to save the church, Emery races home. But stopping Darryl is harder
than expected when their sizzling chemistry threatens to consume
Emery. Now he is faced with the toughest decision of his life: please
his devout parents and fulfill his call to the priesthood, or remain
true to his heart and marry the man created for him.
This
is very erotic book about a spiritual journey.

An
Ojibway from Northwestern Ontario, Maggie resides in the country with
her husband and their fur babies, two beautiful Alaskan Malamutes.
When she’s not writing, she can be found pulling weeds in the
flower beds, mowing the huge lawn, walking the Mals deep in the bush,
teeing up a ball at the golf course, fishing in the boat for walleye,
or sitting on the deck at her sister’s house, making more wonderful
memories with the people she loves most.
GUEST POST
Once I’m done with the Matawapit Family Series, I’ll
continue writing more romance, starring Canada’s Indigenous People.
What I want to tackle next is a trilogy starring two male Ojibway
teenagers from a fictional First Nations community just outside of
Thunder Bay, Ontario. Yes, I love setting my stories in Northwestern
Ontario, probably because I’ve travelled all over this area during
my last job.
The trilogy will take place during the
90s “grunge” era. It’ll address, as I like to do, concerns or
issues Canada’s First People face.
Sitting on the back burner is another
potential idea focussing on the “Sixties Scoop.” I’d like to
see a young Ojibway girl adopted by non-native parents, and this girl
is clueless that her real mother’s alive. The “Sixties Scoop”
was another attempt by the Canadian Government to assimilate
Indigenous People into Western Society. The Matawapit Family
Series addresses the Indian Residential Schools, which my dad,
uncle, aunts, and grandparents were forced to attend, and its impact
on First Nations people. The “Sixties Scoop” novel will take
place around the late seventies, and my heroine would be around
sixteen or seventeen.
I’d also love to write a story (and
have all my research material on hand that I’m reading through
right now) about the Fur Trade. The area where I live was HUGE in
the fur trade. Replica forts are built in this area. The one here
was unfortunately dismantled, which is a shame. I used to play at
that fort as a child when my parents attended baseball games at the
baseball diamond right beside it. I’d love to see a Chief Factor
(if I got with the HBC) or Wintering Partner (if he’s from the
Northwest Company) fall for a local Ojibway woman. I have the plot
worked out in my head.
I do have another manuscript that’s
70% done, starring a transgender Ojibway heroine and a jaded rock
star. This would have to go through some heavy re-writes because I
wrote this around 2011 or 2012, and the writing is not up to my
standards now. But I’d love to see this published once I get
around to finding the time to revise it.
There are many more ideas. One in
particular that I’d like to keep to myself for now. All my ideas
are written and kept on a spreadsheet.
