A Time of Their Own is Out! And it's on Sale. Three novellas for $2.50


And I let the day slip by me!

The Wild Rose Press has published my three western historical time travel novellas into an anthology titled A Time of Their Own. Diana Carlile designed the beautiful cover that depicts the small town of Prairie, Texas. And today A Time of Their Own is on sale at The Wild Rose Press for $2.50. I don't know how long the sale will last so grab your copy today.

Saturday I will be in the Author Spotlight at Story Finds and am also part of the release party at TRS. Stop by for drawings for books.

Here are short blurbs for the three novellas.

A Law of Her Own

 Lawyer Charity Dawson finds herself in 1888 in the middle of a murder trial. Turner Reardon is on trial for killing his mistress. He's innocent and Charity can prove it, but her testimony is thrown out and he's sentenced to hang. She has only one chance to save his life and find the real killer.

A Marshal of Her Own 

Dessa Wade rents a cabin rumored to have "strange doings" going on and ends up in 1890 in the company of bank robbers. Before Marshal Cole Jeffers can prove her innocence, Zeke Faraday kidnaps her. Cole will risk all to save her and make her his own—only if she'll commit to the past.

A Love of His Own

Bull Dawson learns his daughter's fate and will join her in 1892 or die trying. Shunned for her past, Widow Dipsey Thackson scratches out a living farming until her evil brother-in-law arrives. Her dilemma will take more than a knowledge of the law, but Bull vows to protect her and her boy.

If you haven't read these, I hope you'll pick up a copy,

Many thanks!

A Marshal of Her Own is LASR's Book of 2012

Thank you all for voting for my story. I'm thrilled to add this honor to my accomplishments and
couldn't have done without everyone's help.

In case you haven't read it, here is a blurb and excerpt.


Blurb:
Despite rumors of “strange doings” at a cabin in Fredericksburg, investigative reporter Dessa Wade books the cottage from which lawyer, Charity Dawson, disappeared in 2008. Dessa is intent on solving the mystery. Instead, she is caught in the mystery that surrounds the cabin and finds herself in 1890 in a shootout between the Faraday Gang and a US Marshal.

Marshal Cole Jeffers doesn’t believe Miss Wade is a time traveler. He admits she’s innocent of being an outlaw, but thinks she knows more about the gang than she’s telling. When she’s kidnapped by Zeke Faraday, Cole is determined to rescue her. He’s longed for a woman of his own, and Dessa Wade just might be the one—if she’ll commit to the past.

Excerpt:

Dessa stood still and watched as they conversed. Something stank to high heaven about this entire situation. Why were the cops chasing robbers on horseback? It’s not like Fredericksburg was that isolated. She glanced at the captured men. The boy moaned, and she made a step to go over and help him. The Marshal spun, and the expression in his eye froze her in place.

“He needs first aid.”

“He’s fine. The Doc will tend to him when we get to the jail.”

“You could at least call 911 and let them patch him up for you.” She nodded to the man lying so still with his eyes closed. “Your other prisoner doesn’t look so good. He’s going to die on you if you don’t start CPR or get him some help.”

“Lady, no one is going to hear a yell from out here. Never heard of any 911 or CPR.” He propped the hand not holding the shotgun on his hip and threw her a disgusted look. “Are you blind? That man is dead, shot through the heart.”

Her head swam for a moment, and she struggled not to give in to the sensation and faint. She drew in deep gulps of air. “Well...well..., what about the coroner and the meat wagon, not to mention the CSI folks? If you don’t get them to record the scene, how are you going to cover your butt? The authorities might say you shot him in cold blood.”

He looked at her like she’d sprouted an extra head. “I don’t know what the hell you are talking about woman. No one will question my authority. I’m the law in this county. Now, be quiet, or I’m going to gag you.”

A Marshal of Her Own will be available now at The Wild Rose Press, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and other online book stores. It is the sequel to A Law of Her Own available at The Wild Rose Press, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble.com and other online book stores. A Love of His Own, the third story in the Prairie, Texas series, is also available at the above stores.

Again, thank you for your help!

Happy Reading and Writing!
