About this author

edit data

Velda Brotherton writes of romance in the old west with an authenticity that
makes her many historical characters ring true. A knowledge of the rich history of
our country comes through in both her fiction and nonfiction books, as well as in
her writing workshops and speaking engagements. She just as easily steps out of
the past into contemporary settings to create novels about women with the ability
to conquer life’s difficult challenges. Tough heroines, strong and gentle heroes,
villains to die for, all live in the pages of her novels and books.
