Amarugia Lake 3

New Book Announcement

One of the ways that I make decisions on my book projects is by looking at the popularity of posts on my blog. My most popular post ever in the three years I have been writing this blog was my post on Amarugia. With that interest in mind, I have decided that my next book will be about the Kingdom of Amarugia.

For those that have no knowledge of the Kingdom of Amarugia, it is a small section of southern Cass County, Missouri, which is located just south of Kansas City. What makes this area interesting is the fact that from approximately 1830 – 1915 Amarugia was ruled by a King.
 
I know it sounds crazy but that is the story and that is the topic that I will be researching. For more information re-read my initial post which can be found at this link: https://jonathanjonesauthor.com/kingdom-of-amarugia/
 
I already have the two books that have been written about the area as well as any newspaper/magazine that are electronic. I’m reaching out to this group to help me find the following:
 
• Anyone with stories about Amarugia
• Pictures of artifacts for places that I can use
• Any writing, newspapers, journals etc. that have information about the area. As I said, I have most things that can be found electronically, I’d be looking for things that are not available. For example, maybe the library in town X has a copy of the Amarugia Gazette that I can only view in that library. (Amarugia Gazette is not a real thing, or is it?)
• Historical information about people and places in the area.
If you have or know of anyone that can help me with some of these items, I would greatly appreciate it if you would contact me at admin@jonathanjonesauthor.com .
 
I’m in the very early stages of this project, which will probably take a year or so, but I’m excited to get started, I will keep everyone updated on my progress on this book.
 
If you are not currently following me on Facebook at Jonathan Jones History, please do so and remember that shares and comments on all my posts are greatly appreciated as those actions drive more readers. Thanks for your support.
