Born Like This
Maizemerized Book 2
by Maggie Blackbird
Genre: Historical Paranormal Time-Travel Romance
She went back in time to rescue him. She never
counted on falling in love…
Alma Whitecrow prefers hunting and fishing with men, not
romancing them. But hearing about the roguishly handsome coureur de
bois, who saved her sister from the Dakota, haunts her thoughts and dreams.
Well-versed in surviving the wilds, Alma resolves to travel to the
mid-eighteenth century, as her sister once did, to save the man from impending
death.
Charlot Baudelaire thumbs his nose at society’s
expectations, content living as a loner, trading with people he calls the Saulters.
If he needs a woman for the night, there is always a willing maiden. What he
doesn’t expect is a spunky and stubborn female warrior to challenge him.
Charlot is not the man Alma dreamed about, and Alma is not
the kind of woman Charlot pursues. But the longer they are together, the more
drawn to each other they become, until Alma faces the biggest decision of her
life. Stay with a man who may never reciprocate her love, or return to her
Ojibway home and bland existence.

Maizemerized Book 1
She’s always been obsessed with her ancestors, and now he’s
offering her a chance to live with them... forever.
Second-year university student Edie Whitecrow gobbles up
each course on Indigenous studies. If only she could experience the lives of
her Anishinaabe ancestors instead of reading about them. On
her way to a Halloween party decked out as a historical Ojibway maiden, she
spies a corn maze in a spot known to be barren.
A scarecrow figure beckons Edie to enter with the enticing
offer of making her biggest wish come true. She jumps at the chance and finds
herself in the past, face to face with the man who haunts her dreams—the
handsome brave Thunder Bear. He claims he’s spent twelve years waiting
for Gitche Manidoo to send her to him.
Life in the eighteenth century isn’t what Edie romanticized
about, though. When her conscience is tested, she must choose between the
modern day or the world of her descendants—where the man she was born for
resides.

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.

Book Titles:
For the book series title, I came up with Maizemerized because each character is “mesmerized” by the corn maze and their adventure into the past. So I combined mesmerized with the corn maze they enter. Hence “Maizemerized.”
I’m a huge fan of The Cult, a hard rock band from the 80s. Some of their lyrics are quite mystical. I found the songs really suited the essence of the series. The Cult has a song called Born into This, so I played on that title with the first book in the series called Born for This, since the heroine is born to be a part of her ancestors’ Ojibway village when she travels back in time via the corn maze.
As for the second book, Born Like This, again plays on The Cult song since Alma is a female warrior in contemporary times who is a misfit and can’t find her footing. But once she ventures back into time, she knowing being “born like this” is perfect for the interior of Canada during the mid eighteenth century.
I am currently working on the third book (which will be fully drafted by the time this post goes live) in the series titled Born into This. I used the actual song title because the heroine for this novel is “born into” her ancestral land when the hero travels back in time and meets her.
Then there is the final book in the novel called Born Again (which I will be writing by the time this post goes live). I won’t give away too much, but it will feature Fire Woman and Thunder Bear from the first book Born for This.
