#TeaserTuesday from my Work In Progress, Walks With Him. Releasing in November.

Ivy clutched the blanket as he took a moment to rough up Violet’s hair. “Take Yamka out to see the sun,” he instructed. “We have visitors. Big yellow and black butterflies that dance in the air. Go see if you can catch one,” he added. “Monarchs!” Violet responded with delight, grabbing for Yamka’s hand to drag her out of the teepee. When they were alone, Ivy swallowed hard. There was something about Horserunner’s tone of voice and penetrating look, that awakened that part of her that was all female.

Wow.  That's about as much as I can say about Tombstone. My book signing there went so well that I am already anxious to go back.  If you have never been to Tombstone, it is a MUST SEE. Next, we will be at the Senoita Rodeo.  If you find me, make sure you grab a copy of Horses from Heaven.  This cowboy romance is of moderate heat, but its main focus is on the developing relationship between a retired bull rider and the town widow and her young son, Ty.  A highly rated novel on Amazon and Goodreads, its quickly becoming a reader favorite. See you soon, Senoita!  Here's the link to our Tombstone On Location Vlog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgqjIHGCdbQ

Click here to view Blackwater Burning   There’s a killer in the mountains, a beautiful woman in his bed, and an orphan at the mission.   Won as a prize in a poker game, Italian beauty Sophia is forced to run with Comanche Crow and his Hellfire gang.   Crow is as dark and disturbed as the devil, and when his gang begin to kill just outside of Tucson, they fall into the jurisdiction of Sheriff Cooper Blackwater. Blackwater takes his job seriously, and he’s sacrificed plenty to wear his badge. He’ll face his biggest challenge with Comanche Crow, especially if he falls for Crow’s mistress, Sophia, who is claiming her innocence and his heart.

Coming this summer!  Blackwater Burning. This is a western and it's a romance. I don't want to call it a western romance because this isn't your typical gushy, hot, bare-chested cowboy story. (nothing wrong with those, but this isn't it.)  Blackwater Burning has the adventure and tension of your man's favorite western, but with a back story of romance that will keep women turning pages.  I for one, LOVE these types of realistic gritty storylines.  Here's the cover! Look for it soon.

Hot new release for my contemporary western romance readers!

Image
Horses from Heaven has made its debut on Amazon and it's rocking!  Here's the blurb, cover and links for my latest release that will be available in paperback very soon.  I think, I fell in love with my own imaginary hero, Charlie Walters. Sigh. After a tragic rodeo wreck leaves her a widow, Kendall barely has time to grieve. Instead, she finds herself standing between the horse and her father in-law’s rifle. He wants to even the score for the death of his son. Her decision to protect Diablo exiles her from living at Rooster’s ranch, and makes her the target of gossip in their small town. Kendall has no choice but to take her son and Diablo to the only man who will rent her a home and work with Diablo; former bull-riding champion, Charlie Walters.  Charlie’s career made him a legend, and then gave him a body held together with nuts and bolts. The only reason he hasn’t caved into self-pity is the herd of wild horses that wandered onto his recently acquired ranch. Heaven Ranc

Author Sara Turnquist is on the Elite Blog today.

Image
Good Friday morning.  It is always exciting to welcome other authors over to the blog.  Today, the lovely Sara Turnquist is here to talk about her newest title, Hope in Cripple Creek.   Welcome, Sara.  Please tell us about your inspiration for this story. I have always loved the Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman series. I wanted to write something placed in that general time period. So, I asked my husband (who had lived in Colorado for a short time), "What's a small town in Colorado that would be a good place to set my story?" He responded with Cripple Creek, Colorado. I thought it sounded good. So, I started my research there. Then I uncovered this amazing story of a miners strike. It was pretty involved, actually. The governor and state militia even played a part in ending hostilities. The love story, is all my imagination. And the inspiration is a conglomeration of many things I've read and seen. A personal reflection on the story: This story is the hardest

Horses from Heaven looks deep into a woman's struggle with the loss of a husband, the raising of their son, the challenges of falling in love again soon after, and all while fighting to save a dangerous horse.  This story is full of romance, the human experience and is sure to grab the heart
