I am still beaming from my weekend. I enjoyed   meeting wonderful people and fantastic  other authors. It is always a joy to visit Empire Ranch. A beautiful and vital part of Arizona's history. Honored to be there and hate leaving. If you find yourself in southern Arizona, please find the time to visit this historic site. True ranches are vanishing and it takes all of us to fight for preservation.

Cover Reveal for California or Bust and First Chapter Sample!

Image
California or Bust  Is a "catcher if you can" romance that is both sweet and spicy. This one will have you turning pages to find out if the con-man and the cursed widow can find love while chasing dreams and outlaws clear to California.   Releasing in November 2020  Cover design; R.C. Matthews  Read a sample of the first chapter and then browse the library tab to the left where all currently released books are listed. Enjoy! Chapter One “Just admit you set your house on fire, and we’ll go from there.” Charmayne flipped her hair behind her left shoulder and then crossed her arms over her chest.

The sound permeated a chill right through her dress ca...

Sorry I'm late! My Tombstone trip went AMAZING. Pics and stories.

What can I say? I just freaking love the place. We had such a great time signing books, meeting people and then partying like rock stars at the Crystal Palace to my favorite band, The Panic Station. Good grief, so much fun, and then topped it off with a midnight stroll down Allen St for some spooky fun.   Here's a few pics. The floozy dress was a little revealing, but in Tombstone, NOBODY cared. It's a free for all of just a good time. Standing on the boardwalk during a quiet break. The crowd was amazing. We arrived early. I could stand there and watch Allen Street all day.
