Traders & Miners
Two Vintage Historical Pulp Fiction Novels Adapted into a Braided Limited Series (and/or two stand-alone features)
When a daring group of outsiders – a branded Scottish mutineer, a Mexican courtesan, a grieving young widow and her outcast Hindu maid – embark upon their own risky adventures on the treacherous Navajo frontier, their lives intertwine as they gamble everything on the promise of freedom in the untamed American West.
They were a motley crew, these dreamers and outcasts, gambling their lives in this fierce new land.
Vasanti, the Hindu maid cast out from her home in the Kolar Gold Mines in India, accompanies Allyson, the grieving miner’s widow, across the seas to the other side of the world – both determined to find freedom and happiness on their own terms.
Carlin Napier, the branded Scottish mutineer, flees his horrific past into the complicated arms of a Navajo beauty.
Felicia Montez, the ravishing Mexican courtesan, trades decadent, luxurious pleasures for dusty trails, chasing Hernando Dundee, the wastrel burning through lovers and second chances.
Though from vastly different worlds, they are each driven by a thirst for adventure, passionate dreams – and their shared desire to leave the old ways behind.
Based on the books “The Traders” and “Where the Rivers Run Gold,” by Marjel de Lauer
