July 2011

Dear Readers,

How time flies when you’re busy writing, writing, writing. First to some big news. This site has been updated with purchase links to all the books that are available in electronic format. Since there are a lot of them, I hope you’ll be pleased. Harlequin is planning a major release of older titles July 15, 2011. Books available after that date have been included.

THE WIDOWED BRIDE was released in March, to some great reviews. This is the last of my “Bride” books, set in Dutchman’s Creek, Colorado. The hero, Ethan Beaudry, is a handsome U.S. marshal who comes to Dutchman’s Creek to break up a bootlegging ring. And the heroine—if you’ve read THE HORSEMAN’S BRIDE, you’ve already met spirited, voluptuous Ruby, who’s come to town to start a new life with her daughters.

THE PRINCE FROM THE SEA, the book I keep promising you, will be out in March 2012. Still not sure about the final title, but the story is set on the coast of Northern California. Sylvie Cragun lives on a cliff above a sea cove, where her rascally father salvages the debris that washes up from shipwrecks. What will Sylvie do when, in her father’s absence, the sea washes up a handsome, mysterious stranger with no memory and no clue to his identity except a princely sapphire ring? Stay tuned for more.

I just finished another historical, THE BALLAD OF EMMA O’TOOLE. No release date, but I’m going to fight for the title. When you read the book you’ll know why. The story’s set in Park City, Utah, which is just over the mountain from where I live. Emma is left poor and pregnant when Billy John, the father of her child, is shot and killed by gambler Logan Devereaux. With his dying breath, Billy John makes Emma swear to avenge his death. How she carries out that vengeance makes a compelling story. More when the book becomes available.

Right now March seems a long time off. But I’ll also have a novella in the Harlequin Spring Brides Western anthology. “The Hand-Me-Down Bride” is the story of pampered Arabella Spencer who makes the long journey from Boston to Montana to marry Charles, her childhood sweetheart. Arabella has her future all mapped out, but she has some surprises in store, including the tall, annoyingly gruff stranger who meets the stage. As of this writing I’m half finished. I can hardly wait to see what happens.

Another big announcement. When I finish the novella, I’ll be starting on my very first book for HARLEQUIN DESIRE. Although I’ve written three contemporaries for Silhouette, this will be my very first DESIRE. I am so excited and a little scared. Such a challenge. Wish me luck.

After that, would you believe another historical Western? Stay tuned.

If you haven’t done so already, check out the “Petticoats and Pistols” blog site I share with ten wonderful Western authors.  We’re having so much fun there—so will you.  The link is: http://www.petticoatsandpistols.com

I also blog on another great site, www.unusualhistoricals.blogspot.com.  It features a group of great historical authors who write “out of the box.”  Check it out.

Until next time, happy reading.
