I write Christian Historical Western Romance. Yes, that often entails the use of firearms in a threatening manner. Sometimes there are fistfights. There may even be politically incorrect but historically accurate language. But also, there is always an inspirational message and strong allusions (at least) to the gospel.
A former journalist, I am an avid researcher and endeavor to skillfully weave truth in among fictional story lines. I love exploring the American West, especially ghost towns and museums. I have walked parts of the Oregon Trail, ridden horses through the Rockies, climbed to the top of Independence Rock, and even held an outlaw's note in my hand.
I grew up in the mountains of Western North Carolina on a steady diet of Bonanza, Gunsmoke, and John Wayne Westerns. My most fond childhood memory is of sitting next to my daddy, munching on popcorn, and watching Lucas McCain unload that Winchester! My daddy also taught me to shoot and, trust me, I can sew buttons on with my rifle.
I can be reached several different ways:

I am a proud member of Western Writers of America.
My novels are all Christian Western Romance because this is the genre that lets me write about strong, pioneer women and men who struggle to find God and then live out their faith in real ways. Like good old fashioned Westerns, there is always justice, a moral message, American values, lots of high adventure, unexpected plot twists, and more than a touch of suspense. Of course, romance is always a strong element in my stories because it is such a beautiful gift from God and a perfect reflection of how he loves us: sacrificially and lavishly. My stories aren’t preachy or cheesy, but I hope they are inspirational, heart-warming, realistic, illuminating, and glorifying to God.

Struggling with a faith he knows a little of, and insecurity over the beautiful teacher who loves him, Sheriff Dent Hernandez paid close attention to the wise words from the town preacher.
…"To break the curse of sin, to win us back, He had to die for us.”
“How did His dying save anybody?”
“Sin entered the world through one man—Adam. And one man—Jesus— overcame it. The ultimate sacrifice motivated by pure love.”
I read that portion of a paragraph and Heather Blanton melted my heart. I love when Christian fiction speaks truth rather than skirts it.
This is a continuing story from Hang Your Heart on Christmas.
Very good little western romance. Other than one unfortunate replacement word for donkey, this book would have been near perfect.

The hero made a good decision!
I enjoyed listening to this book text to speech. I was happy the bad guys didn't get by with all their plans. And the good folks made good choices.

I listened to the audiobook of this book. This was a surprise added onto the audiobook of Ask Me to Marry You. Sheriff Dent likes Amy, but is in no hurry to marry Amy. But when another man comes to town, Dent has to think twice. Can he get the courage to finally propose to Amy. Cute story.

A Proposal so magical
Just when life couldn’t get any better, a blast from the past disrupts the apple cart! Perfect ending!
The narration was good. A few male voices were hard to decipher when they spoke right after each other, but otherwise it was spot on!
