I received the contract offer for my new western historical novella on May 1st. Three weeks later, the edits are complete, the blurb is approved, and the cover request has gone to the art department. This has to be a record! Kudos to The Wild Rose Press for efficiency.

Here's the blurb for this very fun story set in Wyoming in 1879:

Alison Henderson gave to: Silver Master (Harmony, #4) by Jayne Castle	My rating:
