 I first discovered Western romances by reading those written by my favorite authors who wrote in other subgenres of historical romance. Since then, I have become a true fan of stories set in the Old West. If you're looking for a good one, check out my "Best List" on Historical Romance Review. See it HERE.

 In my new Georgian romance, Echo in the Wind, the hero, Jean Donet, comte de Saintonge, gave up his privateering with the end of the American War, but he is not immune to a bit of smuggling to keep England in brandy and tea. Jean Donet kept his warehouse, full of goods to be smuggled, on Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands, or as they were known in 1784, “the French Isles”. Guernsey has a beautiful coastline with sandy beaches and flower-covered dunes, rock pools, coves and rustic harbors. Just the sort of place a former pirate might like. Take a look at the island and a snippet from my story HERE.  ON SALE for 99¢ for a limited time, both To Tame the Wind and Racing with the Wind!

 Albert Bierstadt was among the most internationally honored American artists of the nineteenth century, best known for his huge, panoramic landscapes that depicted the unsettled American West of the 1800s. He brought the West to the people and, I daresay, we are still falling in love with the romantic images he portrays. See the post on his life and his art HERE:
