When I first read the synopsis for this book I decided to go in with an open mind. Its definitely not my usual reading genre and it’s also the first time I have read anything by the author. Overall I was pleasantly surprised, it was an interesting read that was well written and unique. It was actually nice to read something a little different. The main characters TJ, aka Sarge, was a really interesting character to read about. It was interesting to see what he went through in life to make him int the person he is by the end of the story. This was a really unique story that I wouldn’t definitely recommend people give a chance.

1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure (Mark Sutherland Adventures) by Kimberly Mullins. This is such a good historical fiction read. Its the story of reporter Mark Sutherland and his desires to travel to the Yukon to cover the new gold rush. He’s in Chicago right now and he’s not sure how he will get there though. This read covers all kinds of things in the 1800’s including the oil boom in Oklahoma and a weird thing landing in Texas. We learn all about how hard life is in this time period and how so many people die. Without the comforts of what we know now life is very hard. Thinking this Gold rush will be similar to the one in California he thinks it will be somewhat easy to cover. Along the way to the Yukon he meets several people including one lady he has interest in. Romance, mystery and history are all in this book. I love this author’s writing I actually felt like I was in these places and time period while I was reading. Great Historical mystery!

A very enjoyable historical adventure book, set in 1897, the story is about a reporter from Chicago Tribune, Mark Sutherland, who lives on the edge. He loves travelling and reporting on the odd and eccentric. Marks wants to go to Yukon and witness the gold rush, thinking it would be on similar lines as the 1849 California gold rush. As he embarks on this adventure, he meets more friends along the way, each one with their own reason to travel to Yukon. There is romance, adventure, a lot of historic information and the adrenaline pumping to see what happens when we witness the gold rush. Overall a very enjoyable read.

Sarge by Stuart Ledwith is a wonderfully written Fantasy Adventure that takes on a journey through the life of a young man who goes by Sarge. This is a fast paced short story that is packed with action, adventure, drama, romance, military missions and so much more. This is a fairly new author to me but I like their style of writing and attention to detail. He poured his heart into this story and you can feel it with each page you read. This story shows us the life of Sarge and what he went through to get to where he’s at. I highly recommend reading this book before reading Mission 3047 so you get a better understanding of what he’s gone through but you can certainly read it after if you’ve already read it. I look forward to reading more from this Author.

I have loved everything I have read from this author! This book did not disappoint in its historical avenue. If you have read the Notebook Mysteries Series then you will recognize that Mark is someone Emma and the team has helped. That’s actually what drew me to this story. The fact those characters are branching out into their own adventures!
Mark is a reporter for the local paper and is always up to travel and keep writing. The Alien Crash in 1897 is the first stop on his adventure. Ultimately Mark finds himself traveling to the Yukon for the Gold! The accuracy of these stories is so great and the way its written makes you feel like you’re part of the story.
Mark of course has his challenges once there but not without surrounding himself with family/friends that will take care of him when he needs it. This story has some sad character stories within it but the happiness that comes out and wins is so great.

This is another great historical mystery from Kimberly Mullins. I have loved all the Notebook mystery series and was so excited to see another book from this author. The attention to detail that is placed in this story really brings the time period to life and transports the reader to that time and place making it a really engaging and immersive read. The author also does an amazing job with the characters making them all unique and believable you can actually imagine them living the lives she portrays in the stories.
In this story we are with Mark Sutherland. He is a journalist for a newspaper but he loves adventures and hates being stuck in one place. When he gets a job reporting on a supposed flying machine crash it is only the start of his adventures as he makes his way to Yukon on his quest for a story on the gold rush. But this is a story that isn’t straight forward. It is full of twists and turns as Mark meets new people, some of them friends, some of them enemy’s and as he continues to investigate the story’s he finds it also leads him to discover things people would rather be kept secret.
This story is a historical mystery that is full of twists and turns you never know what to expect or what Mark will stumble across next. There is danger and excitement around every corner as well as friendships along the way. This author creates an amazing multi layer story which will keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next. I was gripped from beginning to end.

An enjoyable and entertaining historical adventure set in 1897, just on the cusp of the 20th Century. We are introduced to a intrepid reporter for the Chicago Tribune, Mark Sutherland, who lives an adventurous life travelling and reporting on the odd and inexplicable and anything new and novel. Mark wants to go to Yukon and witness the gold rush, having read all about the 1849 California gold rush. However, he’s not the only one with gold rush fever, and as he travels to Yukon he meets new friends along the way, all of whom have their own reasons for undertaking the journey. As he makes his way north, Mark encounters many adventures and there is even some romance. This was a real page turner which kept me hooked throughout. The descriptive narrative brought both the characters and the setting to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The added historical details also transported me back in time, and I felt that I was travelling alongside Mark and experiences the gold rush firsthand. I look forward to going on another adventure with Mark Sutherland soon!

I am a huge fan of this author and have read every single installment of her Notebook Mysteries series. I had very high expectations for this book before picking it up, and I am excited to report that it DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT. Mark Sutherland’s adventures as a reporter in the late 1800s are captivating and intriguing, and the author’s talent for capturing and describing the given time period is evident. This is an excellent read for history buffs, as well as mystery chasers, and will absorb you from start to finish. What added an even deeper appreciation for me was the connection to the main character in the Notebook Mysteries series, Emma. This book can be read by itself, though, so if you have not yet indulged in that series, no worries…although, I highly recommend doing so. As with everything this author writes, if I could give it more than five stars, I totally would.

I’ve read a few books by this author now so when I saw this new release from her I was really excited to start reading and it was as I expected a really great read. It was entertaining from beginning to end and the authors wonderful descriptive writing felt like I was right there in year 1897! The genre isn’t my usual but I really like the historical accuracy that the author uses in her writing, you can tell that she clearly researches the time periods that she sets her stories in. I really liked Mark, he was a great lead character to follow. There were some great twists and turns in the story too. I’m definitely looking to reading more from this author again!

I had read Mission 3047 before this book, and I do recommend reading Sarge first as it gives insight as to who Sarge is. I really enjoyed a look back in time to how Sarge grew up, and what he went through to get to the place he is today and how he came into his line of work. It is nice to see he had Mr. Blackburn and Miss Hattie supporting him and encouraging him, I don’t know if he would be who he is without them. Sarge’s love story is sweet and devastating, and his life story is very entertaining and interesting.

5 Stars 1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure (Mark Sutherland Adventures) by Kimberly Mullins
1897 A Mark Sutherland Adventure (Mark Sutherland Adventures) is a Historical Adventure that will have you turning the pages till the end. I’m a huge fan of this author and her Notebook Mysteries Series so I knew without a doubt I’d love this one as well. Her attention to detail, her vivid descriptions and wonderful characters make the story come to life. I get lost in time and can vividly picture everything she is describing. This time we follow along with Mark Sutherland who has landed the job of a lifetime as he Adventures to the Yukons to report on the Gold rush. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next. Its full of mystery and suspense that you don’t want to miss. I’m eagerly looking forward to reading more from this Author.

This was an interesting little novella to read. We meet TJ, aka Sarge, as a young boy who’s delivering packages to put food on his table. A kindhearted person takes him under his wing and sets him on a successful path for life. This story is about that path his life took, which is much better than things were looking. Sarge is able to lead a successful group of people in black ops missions dealing with all sorts of things, including UFOs.
I appreciate how this was a “short and sweet” story and didn’t drag out a lot of details where they weren’t necessary. This book was just enough and I’d recommend it!

The Moon That Fell from Heaven by N. L. Holmes was such a good read! It takes place in ancient Egypt and I absolutely love all the detail given in the book. The history loving side of me really enjoyed it! I also really liked how at the end of most chapters there was an author’s note explaining the historical accuracy/importance or realty of the times for that situation.
The world building was amazing, characters were super easy to love and/or hate depending on who they were! Intrigue start right away and keeps you guessing throughout. Great book.

1897by Kimberly Mullins is an intriguing adventure story set in the late 1800’s. The historical detailing, as expected from Ms. Mullins, was on point, her descriptions and attention to detail really setting the scene for her story. I have loved reading the Notebook Mysteries series, so when I saw that this was being released, I was excited to find out what it would contain. Even though this is a standalone story, it does connect to the Notebook Mysteries series in a small way, as our MC here has ties with Emma who is the MC of the Notebook series. I thought that small detail added an extra element of interest to the story, for me. Mark Sutherland is an intrepid reporter travelling to the Yukon to report on the gold rush there. But this novel is beautifully layered, combining multiple threads which Ms. Mullins has deftly woven into a rich and complex production. Mark’s journey is full of harrowing moments, harsh conditions, mystery, tension, dramatic developments, challenges, family, friendship, hope, resilience, determination, courage, danger, agendas, and even a little romance. His introspective inner dialogue adding an extra facet to the storyline too. The ending of this book was sweet, and left room for more adventures in the future. Looking forward to more from Ms. Mullins, soon. Happy Reading…

This is the first novel about Mark Sutherland and his adventures, and hopefully will continue in a series. I like historical fiction that has a real basis to it, and this novel is based on some historical facts. At the end of the book the author does add a small section of historical context of the novel was based on. There is some mystery and suspense has Mark goes on his journeys as a reporter. The interesting plot line keeps the reader turning the pages to find out what happens at the end. I’ve heard several works by mullins, and I always enjoy the stories that she writes. This book is no different!

Another great book from this author and what I hope is a new series. Mark who works for the paper as a journalist and butnis always seeking adventure. Mark soon finds that adventure is all around. This was an awesome read with all the side adventures leading up his bug adventure. I also loved that Mark was a character in the authors other series. It was as if he got his own spin off. You’ll find yourself falling on love with old characters and welcoming new all in the first chapter.

I absolutely love Kimberly Mullins! Every thing I’ve read of hers, has been great. I haven’t been disappointed. It was a great, fun and super fast read for me. Historical fiction isn’t my top favorite genre but I have to say, the author has a way of drawing me in and enjoying every page. I love the notebook mysteries series so I had to read this! So glad I did. I highly encourage you to check out her work. If you want an adventure, this is for you.

I have been a fan of Kimberly Mullins since reading the “Notebook Mysteries” series so when I saw this one, I knew it would be another win.
I love the historical adventure that Mark has embarked on. What started out as a simple trip to Texas to investigate a mysterious object in the sky leads him to several other places, as well as interesting stories to write for the paper. Cameo appearances and/or mentions from characters in the Notebook Mysteries series also show up, making this even more memorable.
I’m excited to read more books about Mark and his adventures. I highly recommend this book!

1897: A Mark Sutherland Adventure is a historical fiction novel written by Kimberly Mullins. JThe story follows Mark Sutherland, a globe-trotting adventurer, who is hired to investigate a strange occurrence in Texas, among other places. Along with his partners-in-crime, Hans, they soon find themselves caught up in a dangerous plot involving a dangerous cult and a powerful weapon.
The novel is set in the late 19th century and captures the essence of the era through its attention to detail and atmospheric descriptions. The author’s writing style is engaging and keeps the reader’s interest throughout the book.
The characters are well-developed and relatable, and the plot is well-crafted, full of twists and turns that keep the reader guessing until the end. Additionally, the novel does not shy away from exploring complex themes such as loyalty, betrayal, and vengeance.
I personally thought the two interconnected stories were disjointed, but keep reading- the author does combine them! I also question if the amount of people in 1897 were literate, but would have to do more research (more piqued my curiosity). I loved the reference to chasing windmills and Don Quixote- adequately describes the theme!
Overall, 1897: A Mark Sutherland Adventure is an entertaining and well-written novel that is sure to appeal to fans of historical fiction and adventure novels alike.

Every book I have read by this author has been part of the same series. This is the first book that deviates away from that and it is even better than I expected it would be. Right from the start, the book is well written, imaginative and intriguing. There are so many twists and turns as the book develops that I could never figure out how I thought it would all turn out. This author has a very distinctive writing style and it is one I have come to appreciate through all the books I have read. Reading this one, it is great to see that her style and skill for creating enjoyable books isn’t specific to a single series. This book was brilliant from start to finish and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading her books from the first one. This one may just be my favorite yet. This is a story that takes place during the time that everyone was in search of gold on the Yukon. Mark is a reporter who wants to go to the Yukon to see what all the fuss is about as it happens. He takes you on his adventure on how he gets there and what he finds along the way. I enjoyed his character and what he brought to the story. He pulls you into his world with ease and keeps you there until the end. I found this book to be fast paced and hard to put down. A well written story with an adventure which may or may not lead to happiness for all. This is a great story that I enjoyed reading for sure. I highly recommend this book.

While this book is part of the Mission 3047 universe, it can definitely be read as a standalone because in this book we get to delve into the character of Sarge. I enjoyed Ledwith’s development of this character and the fact that we get to have Sarge tell his story. This story isn’t my typical read and it is a little different, but it was enjoyable, the writing is superb and very imaginative, and it does engage you. Overall, I would recommend if you were into sci-fi and adventure.

This is not only a new author for me, it is also a new genre. Having said that, I found this story to be entertaining and with a lot of good feels. Paying it forward is always a good thing. When Sarge was in high school he was approached and offered a better life. To get away from working and focus on his studies. That was just what Sarge needed to get started. I could tell you more, but I feel this story is well worth the read. While it is short, it holds a powerful punch. It also shows what can happen if just one person can change the outcome of another. This author knows his stuff and by putting in on paper we all benefit. I look forward to seeing what comes next. I really enjoyed reading this story.

This was a fascinating story. Starting with the crash of a UFO in Texas and through his adventures all the way to the Yukon, Mark is on the journey of a lifetime to get the best stories. He meets some unique characters that join him. He finds some amazing and intriguing mysteries such as what’s with Gus? The characters are enough to keep you enthralled. Even our friend, Emma, makes a quick appearance, that was a treat. The book kept me engaged and was delightful.

4.5 stars I really enjoy reading Kimberly’s Notebook mystery series so when I saw this new book, I was excited to see what it was all about. It is easy to be drawn into the worlds that Kimberley creates with historical facts, the adventure, the intrigue and mystery, suspense and drama that she writes so well. There are twists and turns to keep you on your toes. 1897 takes us on a historical trip where there are many interwoven story threads cleverly put together to make one interesting and compelling read. It is the story of Mark Sutherland a reporter who gets a job of a lifetime. Kimberley’s narrative is vivid in her descriptions that it is easy to imagine all that she describes with mysterious craft crashes, oil discoveries, gold to be found and new friendships forged. There is a lot going on in 1897 which adds to the anticipation of the story. You can feel the excitement, the hopes, the dreams, the failures, the wants and much more that the well written characters get caught up in and their discoveries. Come along on this exciting adventure. I can’t wait for more of Mark Sutherland and his adventures.

The year is 1897 and many things are going on! There’s a mysterious crash landing of a craft in Texas that locals say came from outer space, oil discoveries in Oklahoma, and a chance of a lifetime to go for gold in the Yukon.
Reporter Mark Sutherland wants to go to the Yukon and witness the gold rush as it happens. He’s read all about the 1849 California gold rush and can’t wait to experience the Yukon. He wouldn’t miss this one. But how will he get there?
There are other adventures that happen before he achieves his goal of heading to the Yukon. Working as a reporter who travels from place to place, he reports on the events of the day. As he travels Mark meets people that become important to him. Each person has their own reasons for going on the adventure that will lead them all to the Yukon.
Will there be gold for all? Will everyone end up happy with the outcome?

This is a new author for me which I enjoyed reading. This is a story that is a little different for me but happy I picked it up. I found this book to be well written and full of inspiration. A story about a young man and his journey through his life. His story is full of hope and determination. It is a fast paced story that is hard to put down. An engaging story that anyone would enjoy reading. This is a great story of one man’s journey. I highly recommend this book.

This book is a unique and interesting story that is the perfect example of the type of work this author creates. This book is part of the Mission 3047 universe and it was great to get to learn more about this particular character. He is one that I found appealing from the moment I started to read about him, and this opportunity to discover more was welcome. As with the other book, this was well written, original and an enjoyable read. I engaged with it straight away and loved watching how it all played out. This author really knows how to create imaginative stories and I am looking forward to the next one I read.
