Arianna Eastland...Author of American Historical Romance

About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	Since childhood, Arianna Eastland has had an interest in the Native American culture in New England, where she currently resides, so it came as no surprise when her first historical romance, "Too Far to Whisper” featured a Native American as one of the main characters. Years of research went into the writing of the novel. What took the longest, according to the author, was looking up word origins so the characters in the 17th century would not be using any modern-day terms. She did, however, confess to taking a bit of creative liberty and eliminating the "thees" and "thous" spoken in that era because she felt they might be too distracting. Recently, through a DNA test, the author discovered she actually is part Abenaki, which she hadn't expected. "That explains a lot!" she said.
