MissAdventure Brides - Coming December 2018

NEW ROMANCE COLLECTION

In Time For Christmas

I'm excited to announce my new book, MissAdventure Brides. My story is entitled Riders of the Painted Star and is one of seven novellas in the MISSAdventure Brides Collection by Barbour Publishing, Inc. The heroines in these stories aren’t held back by the conventions of the day. They step outside of their norms, forging their own paths. If any man gets in the way, they convince them to go along or to move aside. And in the end, they marry them.

In 1936, when my story takes place, the novelist Zane Grey had already romanticized the west earlier in the century with his tales of heroism amidst desert or mountainous backdrops. Then came the movies bringing those stories to the silver screen. Riders of the Painted Star is a nod to both print and film as it takes place at the height of the singing cowboy era. It was a time when Gene Autry and others like him rode their ponies and strummed their guitars while besting the bad guys.

The question my story asks is: What would happen if a woman wants to meet a real cowboy but falls for an actor pretending to be one instead?

My cohorts and I will be doing a blog roll, each of us hosting a specific aspect of our stories on our blogs. These will be on Heroine, Hero, Setting, History, Inspiration, Take Away, and the Antagonist. Ooo, you’ll love to hate my villain. He’s a real snake in the grass. I’ll point you to their blogs when my specific article will be up. Then, I’ll also post them all on here in December in case you missed any. Here are links for future reference:

You’ll meet Zadie Fitzpatrick, a successful New York artist fascinated with the old west thanks to her penchant for cowboy movies. Also, Royce Rutger, a Hollywood actor working on an Arizona dude ranch to learn how to handle horses so he can be the next singing cowboy sensation. Shh, he’s incognito and longs to tell Zadie, but circumstances dictate he not blow his cover.

But first, watch for the other authors as I host their heroes on this blog.
