A young Southern belle who has lost everything in the Civil War is so distraught that she tries to drown herself in the Mississippi River until she sees a wounded Yankee soldier floating on a coil of rope that was on the steamboat The Sultana before it exploded. She falls in love with him and when he goes into a coma, she takes him to a hospital in Memphis, where she ends up falling in love with his doctor. Much to her surprise, her Yankee soldier comes out of the coma and she finds herself torn between two lovers.

A Fun American Western

 Hell on Wheels: My Adventures 

Told in a humorous fashion by a feisty 18-year-old heroine, this western is about her time spent with the men who built the transcontinental railroad and the prostitutes who traveled with them in rowdy makeshift towns nicknamed Hell on Wheels. 

I have tried to stick to history as much as possible in this story in which I follow the course of the railroad's construction starting from the Platte River Valley all the way to California. It is my hope that history buffs, railroad aficionados, and those who enjoy reading stories told by strong female main characters will take a look at my tale.

Time Travel Train Story

 

My husband and co-writer have just come out with a new book this week! We hope you'll take a look. There's 10% free sampling on Amazon and 20% free sampling on Smashwords.

Here's what it's about:

In this time travel tale, two sisters go back to the 1860s to search for their missing parents who had earlier gone on a time travel trip of their own and decided not to return home, much to their daughters' surprise. The sisters have many adventures during their journey and meet several interesting characters along the way. 

There is a lot of history and research that went into this story--not to mention, a lot of heart and soul. The story takes place during the building of the transcontinental railroad and the world of post-Civil War America. Meant to be enjoyed as a standalone story, this book is part of the Travelers in Time series.

It's available at most of the online bookstores. Here are the buy links for each store:
