Sounds like a really interesting topic for a series. I recently read a book about a wagon train during the last days of the Civil War and those were very tough times, from having to give birth in the back of a wagon to Indian raids. Solving mysteries on top of that... admiration to them! (Clare O'Beara 8:00am November 5, 2012)
Strong heroines are what it took to make it in pioneer times, war and I can see some of the traits in my friends now. (Alyson Widen 3:36pm November 5, 2012)
We often hear about the the difficulty faced by the strong men and women who ventured out to the wilderness to make a better life. I can only imagine how daunting a task to do this as a woman alone. Your books sound interesting. (Robin McKay 4:38pm November 5, 2012)
A strong woman is needed back in the pioneer days. They are the housewives within the house and at the same time, they have to be like men to take care of the livestocks and farms. To even think that they also have to be mental strong. They are miles from their neighbors. Being on an open range could make any crazy.
I love reading historical with mystery involve. Thanks for the excerpt. (Kai Wong 8:42pm November 5, 2012)
These sound like they're going to be really wonderful stories to read. I'm looking forward to finding them at the library, since I don't own an e-reader. Since the plot takes place back in my Grandmother's day, I know how hard my Grandmother worked around her house, raising 13 children, along with my Grandfather. She sewed their clothes, did the cooking and baking, and had the time to grow a large garden in the Summer!! Nothing stopped that woman, and as the Grandchildren entered the picture, she took the time to stop and make sure that each one of us felt special. When she passed away at the age of 83, it was a huge loss to our family. I'm sure I'll find a bit of her in your stories. (Peggy Roberson 9:49pm November 5, 2012)
Thank you, Everyone, for your wonderful comments. I'd like to add that I have dedicated my entire "Tender Mysteries Series" as follows: For the unsung heroic women who, over the last several hundred years, helped build the United States of America into a strong, caring country. Thank you for your dedication and sacrifice." There have been millions of women of all races and ethnic backgrounds who worked quietly, contributing greatly to everything wonderful about the USA, and I truly feel tremendous gratitude toward them and great admiration for them. I hope my "Tender Mysteries Series" touches readers with its authenticity of the lives of these women making their ways through the ending years of the 19th Century.

Nice post, Fran. It's good to remember the hardships and accomplishments of those who have gone before. Your Tender Mysteries and Heart Junction series are part of a worthy tradition. (Sandra Cody 8:46am November 6, 2012)
