I’m thrilled to announce that my historical romance What Heals the Heart, set in 1874-1875 Nebraska, is now available in ebook and paperback formats on Amazon. (The paperback will turn up sooner or later on Barnes & Noble’s website as well.) You can read some lovely reviews on the book’s Goodreads page, which I hope you’ll visit. It appears I've pulled off the task I found most daunting in approaching this new genre: providing ample, convincing historical detail. In fact, a minority of readers aren't sure this is a romance, but praised it as historical fiction.

Here’s the blurb.

Joshua Gibbs survived the Civil War, building on his wartime experiences to become a small town doctor. And if he wakes from nightmares more often than he would like, only his dog Major is there to know it.

Then two newcomers arrive in Cowbird Creek: Clara Brook, a plain-speaking and yet enigmatic farmer’s daughter, and Freida Blum, an elderly Jewish widow from New York. Freida knows just what Joshua needs: a bride. But it shouldn’t be Clara Brook!

Joshua tries everything he can think of to discourage Freida’s efforts, including a wager: if he can find Freida a husband, she’ll stop trying to find him a wife. Will either matchmaker succeed? And is it Clara, a woman with her own scars, who can heal the doctor’s troubled heart?

(Note: this is neither a bodice-ripper nor an instant romance.)
