I've been gone a while. I guess I got distracted by COVID. But I'm back now. And I have a new book. The title is Valley Melodies and it is the sequel to One Hundred Valleys.

Here's the back cover.

Is love enough to overcome the tragedies and hardships thrown at them?

In the spring of 1856, Emmalin Hammond decides the Oregon Territory is not the place for her and chooses to return to her Philadelphia home. But mountain man, Jacob Landon, has other ideas. With an unexpected profession of love, he asks her to marry him and share his life in the Oregon wilderness.

Before they can marry, a string of misfortunes tests her desire to step into the role of a pioneer woman. Though determined, Emmalin soon recognizes she may be deceiving herself. Is the life she’s chosen out of reach?



This story takes place in my hometown. The place and characters are close to my hear. I hope you'll give it a try. And I hope you enjoy it.
