Dear Readers,
It’s been a while since my last update. I’ve been waiting for some
good news to share with you. Now I have some on several fronts.
In December 2010 I’ll be doing my first release in e-book format.
CHRISTMAS MOON, published by
www.ereads.com,
will be available on Amazon.com and other sites that market
electronic books. You’ll also be able to order it in print on demand
format. I’m very excited about this new venture, especially since
the story is one I love.
CHRISTMAS MOON is a Time Travel set in the Wind River Mountains of
Wyoming. The heroine, Emma, is a high school history teacher,
pregnant by a man who turned out to be married. She plans to give
her baby up for adoption and is taking the year off to write her
master’s thesis. The research for her thesis, which deals with the
life and death of legendary lawman J.D. McNulty, is giving her some
problems, so she drives to South Pass City to visit a bookstore
owner. On the way back she gets into a snowstorm which flings her
into the past. Christmas Eve she ends up half frozen and in labor on
the doorstep of J.D.’s cabin. But the real J.D. McNulty (think Tom
Selleck) is nothing like she imagined. There’s more, much more. Stay
tuned for an excerpt closer to the release date.
I
also have a release date for the final book in my “Bride” series.
THE WIDOWED BRIDE, available in March 2011, is a sequel to my other
“BRIDE” books. The hero 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 her. I hadn’t
planned a fourth book in this series, but the moment Ruby stepped
into the final chapter, I knew I had to write a book about her. Very
glad the folks at Harlequin agreed.
Still in progress is another Western for Harlequin. THE PRINCE FROM
THE SEA (my working title) 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? Can’t wait to
see what happens.
If you haven’t done so
already, check out the “Petticoats and Pistols” blog site I share
with nine wonderful Western authors. We’re having so much fun
there—so will you. The link is:

Wishing you all a happy
summer, filled with enjoyable reading.
