Until recently. From much encouragement from my ebook addicted daughter, I pulled the old manuscripts out of storage, reread them, fell in love all over again and have decided to self-publish them myself. If for no other reason so that all the time and work I put into them did not land them abandoned in a dark and dusty corner of my closet.
I am starting with my first real full length novel, On the Mountain. It is a historical western romance set in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. Here is the synopsis for anyone interested in following the link to my e-publishing site.
"On a cold and still night, a frightened woman makes a frenzied escape down a wooded mountainside. Fear is her only companion. Silence is her only salvation.
Anna
Nicholson had lived all her life under the shadow of prejudice in the remote
village high on Mount Louis whose reclusive people were considered as wild and
primitive as the wilderness from which they lived. So when she awakes one morning to find
herself in a stranger’s barn with a rifle to her face and no memory of how she
got there, she is overcome with a gripping fear. Yet, instinctively knew it did not arise from
the big and burly cowboy standing directly behind the Winchester rifle or the
other nine fierce cowboys who called the ranch home, but instead from a memory
she could not recall. One, she feared,
in which she was the source. Mistaken
for a mute teenage boy, Anna is able to hide unseen and unheard from an evil
she could not recall.
Wade
Haddock is the rough and tough but lonely cowboy who finds a frightened Anna in
his barn. Convinced the isolated
wilderness was no place for a woman, he allows Anna to hide away on his
sprawling Rocky Mountain ranch believing her to be a mute teenage boy. While gradually succumbing to the bond
growing between them, the wall around his guarded heart begins to slowly
crumble. Only to discover Anna’s
deception. And a memory that could
destroy their love."
This is the cover.

Two more manuscripts are being proofed and edited and will be published shortly so be sure to keep an eye out for those as well. I will update this blog once they are available.
