Halo, fine friends!!!

So huge congratulations to Marcy and best of luck with your book release!!!

So. Here I am, my
very first guest post! A giant thank-you to Hart for inviting me to
talk about my book – another first! Not that I haven’t written a
few books (six, actually), but this is the first one to be published.
I’ve also been
writing a really long time (I have grey hairs if that’s any
indication) so for those who are still waiting to see their words in
print, have hope and don’t give up. Seriously, if I had any advice
it would be that - and to keep writing, a lot!
Now about that book
I wrote…
Katherine Kennedy has it all; she’s
beautiful, she’s wealthy, and she’s engaged to the perfect man:
Antonio D'Salvatore. There’s just one problem. She can’t marry
him. Worse yet, she has no idea why. All she knows is there is
suddenly nothing she wants, not Antonio, or any of the other hundred
thousand things money can buy.
Jack McCabe comes home from the war
with a pretty medal and a lot of ugly pictures in his head. He has
little in the way of possessions, less in the way of wealth, nowhere
to go and no one to go anywhere with. All he has is a vague sense of
discontent, a restlessness that will not abate.
Separately, they are drawn to Paradise
Tours on the privately owned Cristobel Island. There they meet Louis
Cade, a man who offers them the unimaginable, something neither can
quite believe until they actually find themselves over 125 years in
the past, 1881 to be exact.
For Jack McCabe it’s the adventure he
always dreamed of – until he meets a beautiful but deadly train
robber. Katherine can't believe an ignorant bounty hunter has
mistaken her for a criminal – until she sees the picture, which
looks exactly like her.
Set in the old west, this is a tale of
mistaken identity, romance, and murder.
And finally, three
fun facts about me:
Not Marcy (It's Marcy's dog Jonah) |
1. I hate sticky.
Hate.
2. I wrote West of
Paradise because I wanted to write a crossover historical romance,
something that would appeal to an even wider demographic. Not that I
had a clue what a crossover novel was when I wrote it, lol.
3. I have a dog
named Jonah, a yellow lab who is almost 8-years old and still acts
like a puppy. My son and I call him an infini-puppy.
[insert pic of Jonah
in lieu of me – I know, big cheat, but honestly I don’t even have
a pic of me that’s less than five years old]
