Not in Kansas anymore...

We are back in good old Minnesota. The family reunion was great. My books auctioned off for $45 a piece, and I bought a coat rack made out of horse shoes. We made the 800 mile drive in one day on the way down, but took two coming home. Age I guess.

While we were in Scott City we visited both the EL Quartelejo Museum and the Keystone Gallery. These were both excellent and I’d highly recommend stopping in if your ever in the vicinity.

My garden seemed to have popped while we were gone. I now have peppers and tomatoes coming out my ears! It’ll make for a busy weekend along with all the writing work I must catch up on!

New Release--Shotgun Bride

Shotgun Bride, The Quinter Brides Book One was released this morning from The Wild Rose Press. The print version will become available in February 2009.

Kid, the oldest Quinter brother didn’t want a wife, didn’t have time for a wife, but all that changed the night his brothers knocked him unconscious and hauled him to his mother’s house. Tied to a chair, he had little choice but to marry the girl held at gun point in Ma Quinter’s kitchen. And that’s just the beginning. His new wife can’t even cook, and almost burns down his house attempting to learn how.

I’m currently working on the third book, Boot Hill Bride, (working title, subject to change upon contracting). This story also begins with a ‘shotgun’ wedding, and is set in the number one Old West town, Dodge City, Kansas.

Hope you all have a GREAT weekend!
