Hi Ruth!
So happy you loved the first three American Wilderness books. The next three can be bought individually, although it costs less to buy the set. Here they are:
FRONTIER HIGHLANDER VOW OF LOVE 2.99
FRONTIER GIFT OF LOVE ,99
THE BEAUTY OF LOVE 2,99
All fifteen of my books are available at www.amazon.com/author/dorothywiley
Sometimes you have to scroll down to find the title you want because Amazon mixes sponsored ads by the other authors in with my books.
Let me know if you have any problems.

My favorite couple, Captain Sam Wyllie and Catherine Adams, are the main characters in my second novel NEW FRONTIER OF LOVE. The Revolutionary War and a tragic loss left this brave buckskin-clad warrior battle-hardened. I love how his courageous heart defies danger and how he is determined to make a fresh start in the far west, the new state of Kentucky. Newly widowed, Catherine Adams knows she should return to her wealthy father in Boston but fears he will once again force her to marry for prestige and wealth, not love. I admire the fact that she is willing to shun wealth and society in favor of true love. Drawn to Sam’s keen intelligence, harsh masculinity, and rugged warrior facade, she decides the west holds a chance for real love. She resolves to help Sam lay down his cold heart’s armor. Despite the undeniable attraction between them, Sam refuses to risk his heart again. But Catherine won’t give up on him. She believes Sam could be as passionate about love as he is about his country and family.

Loyal readers are always anxious for the next book! So I wanted to let everyone here know that THE BEAUTY OF LOVE ebook releases April 26 and is available for preorders now. It is already available in print. Both versions at:
http://amzn.to/1WiPHVo
Reaching the finish line on that book was exhausting and I promised myself that I would take a break and not write for a while. But I must confess, Book Seven is already calling me to the keyboard. I haven't written a word yet, but I'm getting anxious to get started. I have an idea for it that will likely surprise everyone!

Hi Joan,
Yes, FRONTIER HIGHLANDER VOW OF LOVE is the fourth book in my American Wilderness Series. It starts with WILDERNESS TRAIL OF LOVE. The books can each be read independently, however, as you said, it is best to start at the beginning. Each book is about a different brother. The first book is all about the brothers' arduous thousand-mile journey to Kentucky on the Wilderness Road. It focuses on the youngest brother Stephen and his wife Jane, but all the other brothers play significant roles in this story so you get to know them well. Book Two is NEW FRONTIER OF LOVE, the story of Captain Sam and Catherine. Book Three is WHISPERING HILLS OF LOVE, and the hero is William, a sheriff and the heroine is Kelly. And Book Four, FRONTIER HIGHLANDER, is about their adopted brother Bear and Artis. It begins in Scotland, but quickly shifts to the American colonies.
All of my books are realistic depictions of life in the late 18th century, which was often difficult. But they all have a happily ever after ending.
Book descriptions for all four books can be found by going to my Amazon author page: www.amazon.com/author/dorothywiley
And book trailers for all four are on YouTube. Just enter my name in the search box.

Thanks for your interest in my novels. I do hope you enjoy them and please let me know if you have any other questions or comments.
All the best,
Dorothy

From doing genealogy research on my husband's ancestors. When I learned of their bravery and courage, I just had to write a story that could have been their story. My books are inspired by them.

The best thing about being a writer is that moment when you write something that makes you smile.
Dorothy Wiley
So far, this has never been a problem for me. I love to write and every moment I have to actually sit down and write is precious to me. My favorite trick is to create characters that I feel I really know--as well as a good friend--then put them in a room or situation and ask myself what would they do or say here? They always answer the question for me and I just write it down.
Dorothy Wiley
This is a tough question because it will vary for each writer. My best advice would be to learn as much as you can about writing before you even begin writing a novel. Things like staying in character point of view, active voice, showing not telling, etc. Then, I would allow at least a year to write the book and edit it again and again, and then edit it a couple times more. Get feedback from others. Every time you edit, it gets better. If you can afford to do so, get a professional editor. Then allow about a year for creating a marketing plan, social media following, etc. And if you self-publish, that takes time as well. There's a lot to do to get a book ready to market. You want it to shine when it does come out and that takes lots of time.

I am currently working on the Book Three in my American Wilderness Series Romances. It will be titled "Whispering Hills of Love." It's the story of William and Kelly, two secondary characters from the first book.

I am inspired by America's pioneer ancestors. Their hard-fought battles to create our country should inspire us all.
