The Lorraine Cross

[Jenny]

The following article is about the Lorraine Cross, but is also includes a Question and Answer with Douglas Pearson (author of book) to whether the part in the book about the Lorraine Cross is all fiction. He confirms it is.

The Lorraine Cross: Treasure of the Bossall Treasure hunt


Plus on May 1st, I'll be releasing a full Six Questions I did with Douglas, and beginning the GiveAway for a signed copy of The Bossall Treasure book. GiveAway to run til May 15th. Winner will be announced soon after ending.

Hope you all enter for chance to win!

Thanks for your article Jenny.

I have found that this treasure hunt is rather difficult because the author mixes fact and fiction. At times, when I think I have found a clue, I am unaware that it is something that the author has fabricated as part of his fictional story line. There is no way to separate some of the fictional items from the facts. I am aware that the author has a right to "artistic license", but I don't think it works well in a hunt constructed such as this.

I am looking forward to your full six questions. I hope they shed some light on Pearson's approach to making this into a treasure hunt.

I would post the Six Q now, but I have stated the MW GiveAway begins May 1st (and should keep that..it's with the Six Q) Plus, I need to finalize the endnote and images)....but just know, I'll be posting early on Tues. morning.....

I think he might offer some help.... he mentions all we need is 'in the book'-- suggesting research isn't needed... but would love other searchers thoughts about it.
