The Loyalist's Wife: The Loyalist Trilogy (The Loyalist Trilogy Book 1)
by Elaine Cougler
When American colonists resort to war against Britain and her colonial attitudes, a young couple caught in the crossfire must find a way to survive. Pioneers in the wilds of New York State, John and Lucy face a bitter separation and the fear of losing everything, even their lives, when he joins Butler’s Rangers to fight for the King and leaves her to care for their isolated farm.
As the war in the Americas ramps up, ruffians roam the colonies looking to snap up Loyalist land. Alone, pregnant, and fearing John is dead, Lucy must fight with every weapon she has.
With vivid scenes of desperation, heroism, and personal angst, Elaine Cougler takes us back to the beginnings of one great country and the planting of Loyalist seeds for another. The Loyalist’s Wife transcends the fighting between nations to show us the individual cost of such battles.
The Loyalist's Luck (The Loyalist Trilogy Book 2)
by Elaine Cougler
When the Revolutionary War turns in favor of the Americas, John and Lucy flee across the Niagara River with almost nothing. They begin again in Butlersburg, a badly supplied British outpost surrounded by endless trees. He is off on a secret mission for Colonel Butler and she is left behind with her young son and pregnant once again.
In the camp full of distrust, hunger, and poverty, word has seeped out that John has gone over to the American side and only two people will associate with Lucy--her friend, Nellie, who delights in telling her all the current gossip, and Sergeant Crawford, who refuses to set the record straight and clear John's name. To make matters worse, the sergeant has made improper advances toward Lucy.
With vivid scenes of heartbreak and betrayal, heroism and shattered hopes, Elaine Cougler takes us into the hearts and homes of Loyalists still fighting for their beliefs, and draws poignant scenes of families split by political borders. The Loyalist's Luck shows us the courage of ordinary people who, in perilous times, become extraordinary.
The Loyalist Legacy (The Loyalist Trilogy Book 3) by Elaine Cougler
After the crushing end of the War of 1812, William and Catherine Garner find their allotted two hundred acres in Nissouri Township by following the Thames River into the wild heart of Upper Canada.
On their valuable land straddling the river, dense forest, wild beasts, displaced Natives, and pesky neighbors daily challenge them. The political atmosphere laced with greed and corruption threatens to undermine all of the new settlers’ hopes and plans.
William knows he cannot take his family back to Niagara but he longs to check on his parents from whom he has heard nothing for two years. Leaving Catherine and their children, he hurries back along the Governor’s Road toward the turn-off to Fort Erie, hoping to return home in time for spring planting.
With spectacular scenes of settlers recovering from the wartime catastophes in early Ontario, Elaine Cougler shows a different kind of battle, one of ordinary people somehow finding the inner resources to shape new lives and a new country. The Loyalist Legacy delves further into the history of the Loyalists as they begin to disagree on how to deal with the injustices of the powerful “Family Compact” and on just how loyal to Britain they want to remain.

About Elaine Cougler
Raised in a large Ontario farm family in the Dairy Capital of Canada, Elaine Cougler learned to sing, figure skate and win ribbons showing her 4-H Club calf in local fairs. She square danced and she rode her bike and even judged cattle in large competitions a time or two. She fell in love with languages and graduated from Western with a BA in French and Spanish. That led naturally to reading and eventually to writing her words with a particular joy in creating.
After retiring from teaching, Elaine had the time to step up her desire to write. Six years and loads of learning later, she published The Loyalist’s Wife. Three more in that series quickly followed.
She was asked to write the story of the man who managed Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, Ron Calhoun, and spent two years working with Ron on that project. The Man Behind the Marathons: How Ron Calhoun Helped Terry Fox and Other Heroes Make Millions for Charity was the result of that time. Elaine is proud of bringing those amazing stories to the fore.
Three other books found their way to bookstore shelves in the years since: My Story, My Song, Canada: Brave New World, and Maggie. Each has its own way of praising the enduring strength of human beings as they overcome life’s challenges.
Today a new format has interested Elaine as she prepares to launch her own series of writing conversations called “Say the Word” where she and her daughter present the stories of her long writing career. Meanwhile she is promoting her newly relaunched Loyalist books, all with fresh, new covers.
Elaine’s writing journey has led to speaking gigs, cruises, trips, and also to her giving workshops on a variety of writing related subjects. She says you learn a lot when you embrace your dreams.
