The Railroad Baron’s Mistletoe Bride will be my next story released, in October. It is one of the two novellas in A Gilded Age Christmas.

Two festive romances set in the glamorous Gilded Age

Two short romances

Celebrate a Gilded Age Christmas!

In Amanda McCabe’s A Convenient Winter Wedding: marrying Connor O’Neill is about survival for penniless heiress May Van Der Berg. The distant self-made millionaire is far from the passionate husband she’d once dreamed of…except for that scorching kiss! In Lauri Robinson’s The Railroad Baron's Mistletoe Bride: after years of estrangement, romance blooms when Kurt invites store clerk Harper and their shared niece to spend Christmas at his mansion. But are they just a family for the holidays? 

And following that will be An Unlikely Match for the Governess coming in November.

 

 

Winter is hanging on for us here in Minnesota. We woke up to snow, lots of snow, over five inches has fallen so far, but that’s okay. We needed a day to relax. Two grandchildren spent the night on Friday, and we had a wonderful fun time.

Avery, our youngest granddaughter is three and full of herself. The other day, she asked, “Papa, do you want to play eye-spy with my little eye.”

He replied, “Sure.”

She said, “I spy something with my little eye that’s orange.”

He glanced around the living room and said, “I don’t see anything orange.”

She said, “An orange pushup! They are in the freezer. I’ll show you!”

Yes, that’s one of her favorite foods.

 

Every day is a blessing. Enjoy each one!

Poison Ivy!

A couple of weeks ago, my husband went down to mow the ditch along the front of our property. I always wear my boots when mowing, but that evening, I just grabbed the weed-whipper and hopped on the wheeler to drive down and take care of the weeds around the mail box and other areas he couldn’t get with the riding mower. Well, I was wearing tennis shoes, and low and behold, shortly thereafter, I broke out with poison ivy on both ankles and shins.

I’d never had poison ivy before and the itching was like nothing I’d ever known. My daughter-in-law brought me over a bottle of IVY-DRY, and I highly recommend it, along with coconut oil. The rash almost all cleared up now, and is chalked up to reminder to always wear boots.

We’ve also had several fun birthday parties this summer. Avery, age two, received her own nail polish for her birthday and was over the moon when Uncle Justin won the uncle of the day award for letting her paint his toenails and fingernails.

On the writing side, I’ve sent my Victorian novel manuscript off to my editor! Yippie! Set in 1861, the heroine’s father sends her to England in hopes of keeping her safe at the outbreak of the American Civil War. To her surprise, she learns she had been betrothed to a duke as an infant. It was a fun story to write and I’m now brainstorming on my next book. I have a few ideas, but haven’t pinned one down yet.

I’m awaiting the cover art for my next releases, but The Osterlund Saga—Two generations taking twentieth-century America by storm, is now up for pre-orders on Amazon.

Marriage or Ruin for the Heiress

A pretend marriage A passion that’s anything but…

The great depression has left heiress Jolie Cramer’s family destitute! To save them, Jolie must abandon her dreams of independence and marry wealthy Randal Osterlund. Thank goodness Randal only wants a wife to secure a business deal and shares her feelings about love—nothing but heartache! Jolie quickly realizes that’s not all they have in common, but falling for her charismatic husband wasn’t part of their agreement…

The Heiress and the Baby Boom

From high school enemiesTo shotgun wedding!

Growing up, heiress Randi Osterlund found the only person who didn’t care who her parents were was penniless Jason Heim—until a bitter exchange left bad blood between them. Now, years later, Randi needs Jason’s land for a business venture, but the self-made man refuses to sell. There was always something burning between them, and when their arguing turns into one unforgettable night, the consequences risk adding to the ’50s baby boom!

A quick thanks to everyone who has enjoyed the Twins of the Twenties duet, Scandal at the Speakeasy and A Proposal for the Unwed Mother! I've enjoyed hearing from all of you about the McCormick brothers!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all enjoy the last few weeks of summer, and stay happy and safe.
