Feeling Nostalgic

I'm getting ready to settle down to a good, possibly great book, but since I haven't written it yet, I can't tell you much about it, and of course you don't have the opportunity to read it right now.  

So before I get lost to that world, let me tell you about another of my favorites -- SONG OF MY HEART, which came out with Samhain Publishing and is still available in both print and ebook. 


Since I’m a product of ‘women’s lib’, I love independent, strong heroines. What I didn’t realize until Abigail O’Brien kept quoting them in SONG OF MY HEART was how many women from the nineteenth century were just as vocal about their rights as we were in the 1970s. Mary Wollstonecraft, Susan B. Anthony and Kate Nye-Starr were a few of Abby’s favorites and I really enjoyed the part they played in Abby and Max’s story.

Abby and Max -- two stubborn, independent people who found love hard to resist – after several shootings, high stakes poker games, robberies, and incidents where Max had to rescue Abby from trouble. 

Of course, Maxwell Grant isn’t the easiest man to get along with, either, because he constantly changes disguises and Abby isn’t sure who she likes more – Donal O’Flagherty, a rogue Irishman who flirts outrageously; Reverend Jonas Fishbone, who although very considerate is far too pious; or Jeffery Markham, the suave southern gentleman and expert poker player.


Max and Abby’s story begins at a Harvey House restaurant in Topeka, Kansas and sweeps westward aboard the transcontinental railroad, through Denver and on to San Francisco. The ride is full of mysterious characters, intrigue and romance.
