A question IΒ get asked from time to time is where (or when) would I live, if I could choose a
place and time from one of my books.Β Thatβs a very hard
question. After 36 years of writing and 69 published books, I have a really wide range of
places and time periods to choose from. However, I write mostly the βOld Westβ and mid to
late 1800βs. Since that is my favorite genre/location/time period, I would have to say that if I
could pick one place, it would be Colorado β any place in the foothills of the Rockies. I love the
American West and its history with a passion that shows in my books, and a great many of my
westerns are set in Colorado and Wyoming. You canβt beat the breath-taking landscapes. You
also canβt beat the excitement of the gold rushes, so I would likely pick the 1850βs β 1860βs,
the time period most gold rushes occurred. Imagine whole towns of 1,000 or more people
springing up (literally) overnight, and the wild excitement that entailed β people from all walks
of life, all forms of businesses, criminals and honest people, wild saloons but churches at the
end of the street, well-meaning suppliers and those who took gold-seekers for every dime in
their pockets, women of respect and women of the night, grubby miners and fancy gamblers.
The list of people and events that feeds a writerβs need for plot is endless when it comes to
gold towns and what went on in public compared to what went on behind closed doors!
My newest work,
LOGANβS LADY, is coming
March 26, and it is another story of an unlikely union between a proper young βLadyβ from
London and a rugged, unschooled bounty hunter who calls the entire West his home. Donβt
miss this delightful story that will make you laugh at the humorous banter between hero and
heroine. The story is also full of danger and adventure when hero Logan Best finds Lady
Elizabeth sitting in a jail in the middle of Kansas! And, of course, romance is always a part of
my stories. You will enjoy watching these two characters gradually fall in love as Logan
searches for those who abused the βladyβ and stole her fortune. Watch my

on March 26 for a contest with prizes!
Two worlds in conflict
Two hearts intertwined
One love worth fighting for
Wealthy Englishwoman Lady Elizabeth Baylor longs for adventure. She leaves for America full
of hope, only to lose everything to a villain hiding treachery behind his smile. Lost in this
strange and lawless land, Elizabeth vows to track down the man who did her wrong...but she
can't do it alone. What she needs is someone hardened by the west and unflinching toward its
dangers: notorious bounty hunter Logan Best.
Ill-mannered and seemingly ruthless, Logan exorcises his dark past by throwing himself into
his vengeful professionβhunting wanted men. There's nothing about the pampered
Englishwoman that should call to him, and yet as their adventure takes them across the wild
and treacherous west, he realizes he'll do anything to keep her safe...and defend his Lady to
his final breath.
