As a young girl, Janis Jakes looked forward to visiting her grandfather, where she'd devour his western novels set in the 1800s. She loved reading about the rugged terrain, wild horses, and the strong men and women who faced danger without backing down.

Not surprisingly, her debut novel (published by Pelican Book Group) featured a West Texas bounty hunter bent on justice and a feisty school teacher fighting for her life (The Bounty Hunter's Bride, book #1, Lancaster Legacy Series). This novel was selected as a Serious Writer Semi-Finalist for Book of the Year.

Her next western, A Rose in Winter, was released July 2022 followed by The Outcast's Bride (book #2, Lancaster Legacy Series) available April 2023.

Updates and a P.S.

Good morning. Hope all is well in your reading world.

I've read several heartwarming books this summer ... one I read was from a fellow author (Dakota Courage, Megan Kinney), which has not been released but is a real page-turner. Check it out on Amazon.com.

Super excited to see that my debut novel, The Bounty Hunter's Bride, was selected as a semi-finalist in the Serious Writers contest for "Book o Read more of this blog post »
