Howdy!

Do you enjoy stories that keep you on the edge of your seat, encourage your heart, and make you laugh? How about those cowboys with rugged good looks? And maybe the women who know their minds and aren’t afraid to speak them (with tact of course)? Well, then it’s my hope you find what you’re looking for in my stories.

A great, high-action Texas story. Loved the romance and the bits of humor and western twang woven through it. If you enjoy historical westerns, you’ll love this one! [Regarding Win, Love, or Draw]

Misty M. Beller, author of the Mountain Dreams Series

Love, Stock, and Barrel is an inspirational western historical romance sprinkled with humor and mystery. The story is a fast-paced read with fun twists and turns, spurring the reader on to its “happily ever after” ending. A perfect balance is struck between showcasing the characters’ heartache of strained family relationships and depicting how their faith in Jesus Christ plays an important role in reconciliation. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to live life on the bright side, Texas-style.
