IN THE SHADOW OF THE HILLS
A Reader said:
I just finished reading, In the Shadow of the Hills, and it is the best historical western novel I have ever read. This is the first western book I have read of yours. I have read every paranormal romance novel you have written. Now, I need to catch up and read all of your historical westerns :) You did a fantastic job of writing from the male perspective. I have an older Canadian Lumberjack friend who talks just like John. And, a few times Black Wolf says, "I won't bore you with the details..." and that is so typically male. If I hadn't known you were the author, I would have thought a man wrote it, because the male perspective was spot on. It was very interesting and a compelling page turner and I couldn't put it down, despite eye strain :) This is an amazing and fantastic story and I'll enjoy reading it many more times. You are a talented and gifted writer and I can't wait to read more of your upcoming books as well as the ones that are already out. Shari

RECKLESS DESTINY
eBook August 2011
Daniel Blue Hawk had always felt he was born in the wrong time. All his life, he had dreamed of being a warrior, like his father before him.

Knowing his son is restless and unhappy, Daniel's father, Shadow, suggests he go spend time with old Fox Hunter, the Cheyenne medicine man. Daniel agrees, expecting his journey to end on the reservation. Instead, he ends up in a time and place he had only dreamed of....

Reckless Destiny is available as an eBook, and is also included in the print anthology, TALES OF WESTERN ROMANCE.


July 2011
Available in eBook print and paperback editions
You may have heard of me, John Jacob McKenna. I had quite a reputation as a fast gun back in the early part of the 1870's. I killed Red Wade and Curly Jack Turner, and a score of other men whose names and faces I can't recall.
Some folks wonder how I sleep nights, what with all those dead men on my conscience, but none of them ever caused me a moment's regret. Red Wade was nothing but a greedy s.o.b. who wanted to own all of Southern Arizona, and Curly Jack Turner was just plain no good. As for the others, most were just ambitious kids out to make a name for themselves. Only I got the big name, and all they got was dead.
Of course, that's all behind me now, and I'm back where I began. Sitting here, watching the sun rise above Mo'ohta-vo'honaaeva, the sacred Black Hills of the Cheyenne, my mind goes back in time, back to the beginning....


Book 2 in the Relampago short story series.
This is my second Relampago short story. It's a little longer than the last one.

The white stallion, Relampago, travels through time as he hears the call of someone in danger.

With a toss of his head, the stallion began to run, mane and tail flying in the wind as he raced swiftly over the rolling hills. It was not an Apache warrior who needed saving this time. Or a young woman contemplating suicide. But a woman looking for love in all the wrong places...

Catch the Lightning was previously published in an anthology titled THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF TIME TRAVEL ROMANCE.


Capture the Lighting is available as an eBook and is also part of the print anthology, TALES OF WESTERN ROMANCE



This is a sequel to Chase the Lightning
The Relampago Short Story Series
Book 1



Macie Jenkins decides her life isn't worth living only to be transported back in time on the back of a legendary white stallion. The horse takes her to a wounded man, Ace Bowdry, who needs her help. Will Macie find something, or someone, worth living for after all? An exciting sequel to Chase the Lightning.


Catch the Lightning is available as an eBook and is also part of the print anthology, TALES OF WESTERN ROMANCE.
