My hope was to have Book Two of the Texas Brave and Strong Series ready by now, but life intervened. With a major move from Dallas to our mountain-top in Oklahoma and all that involved, the building of a “barndominium” (which includes a writing office for me- Yay!) a trip to British Columbia to prepare our condo there for sale, a visit from COVID and lovely visits from friends and family, my schedule has fallen behind. My goal now is to focus on finishing the sequel- no more excuses! The sequel is also a stand-alone novel. The working title above will give you a hint about the new book. Another story that’s great fun to write. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy reading it! Stay tuned. 

QUEEN OF COTTON . . . A hint of what’s to come

The Civil War is raging and the men have gone to fight. The women left behind must take charge—including shopkeeper Sara Brown, who must muster the courage and confidence to lead a camel caravan, carrying Confederate cotton, across hundreds of miles of dangerous Texas frontier to Matamoros, Mexico. Sara must negotiate the cotton sale and return home with the sale proceeds in gold. Accompanying Sara are Texas Frontier Rangers, two former Pinkerton Agency detectives, a slave who quotes Machiavelli, and forty-six camels. Threats include fierce Comanche, Mexican bandits, marauding groups of deserters and more! It’s a camel-caravan adventure fraught with danger. Experience a different time and place with the QUEEN OF COTTON!  Your camel is  waiting.
