Amelia C. Adams is the author of
twenty-five sweet Western romance novels, the mother of four children, and the
eater of chocolate cake and tacos. Many tacos. Too many tacos to count. Because
cheese. And meat. Meat and cheese.
She has hit the Amazon bestseller list
three times and has the screenshots to prove it. Even though she’s only been
publishing Westerns for two years, she plans to do it forever and ever, or
until the cows come home, whichever happens first. She credits her own pioneer
heritage for this new interest, and is glad that she doesn’t have to wear
twelve petticoats to be considered modest.

A transplantedScot, Margery now lives on a lake in Canada.
Although she grew
up as far away from the old west as possible, she’s always had a love affair
with the men and women who settled the untamed land west of the Mississippi.
Glued to TV westerns like Maverick, Rawhide and Gunsmoke, and reading stories
of Annie Oakley, Roy Rogers and Rin Tin Tin, it was only natural that when she
started writing, she wrote what she loved to watch and read. When she’s not
writing or travelling in search of the perfect setting for her next novel, you
can usually find her wielding a pair of knitting needles or a pool cue.

Emmeline: Bride of Arkansas by Carra Copelin
Snippet #1:
Flat Rock Point, Arkansas, 1892
Lincoln Bass glanced around the area
of the train depot. From this vantage point on the platform, the town looked
much the same as it had when he’d left. The bulk of the businesses and homes
sat on the eastern side, the lesser developed side lay off to the west, with
the tracks and station slicing through the middle. The entire town was
surrounded by timberland made up mostly of pine trees.

What, the hell, am
I doing back here?
I doing back here?
He’d asked himself this question
repeatedly, since he’d received the telegram from his friend and left his home
in Little Rock yesterday. But, he knew the answer. He owed Griffin Benning for
the very air he breathed and would do anything the man needed to thank him for
saving his life. Suddenly, the memories of the accident last year, still too
fresh, flooded his mind, and the breeze chilled his body through his
sweat-soaked shirt.

Snippet #2:
Energized after shedding the heavy
jacket, Emmeline quickly came out of her bodice and skirts all the way down to
her camisole and drawers. She hadn’t felt this carefree since they’d left
Philadelphia. Despite the fact she was a grown woman of twenty and a lady, she
waltzed about the room, while singing, In the Good Old Summertime.
After the last twirl, she bent over to pick her skirt up off the floor.

After the last twirl, she bent over to pick her skirt up off the floor.
She heard the door open, and said,
“Oh, good, you haven’t gone downstairs yet. I could use some extra hangars.”
“Oh, good, you haven’t gone downstairs yet. I could use some extra hangars.”
When silence greeted her, she turned
and sucked in so much air she nearly strangled on her own spit. Coughing and
trying to breathe, she covered herself with the deep lavender linen. A tall,
sturdy man with a thick chest and broad shoulders filled the doorway. He stared
at her but didn’t say anything.
