Inspired by William "Red" Hill

The current stop at The Day the Falls Stood Still tour is at The Burton Review blog. Cathy discusses the inspiration for her novel’s riverman: William “Red” Hill:

Born and bred in Niagara Falls, Red Hill’s rescues are stories I grew up with, bits of lore I imagined time and again as I gazed out at the old scow, as I passed by the plaque commemorating the ice bridge tragedy. With their retelling in The Day the Falls Stood Still, perhaps the rescues will captivate readers as they have me…

Read more here about Red Hill’s rescue and uncanny sixth sense about the river. The Burton Review also features a review of The Day the Falls Stood Still: “…this makes for a compelling read and I recommend it for the main character's fortitude and strength. I look forward to future works by Cathy Marie Buchanan.” You can read more of the review here.
