My mother is a very independent woman. But since a mini-stroke she has mobility problems. I never know if my efforts to help will be welcomed or treated as an insult to her sovereignty.

“Ellen Louise, you've done the sensible thing all your life. Now's the time to follow your heart."

“You saved our lives, back there."
He leaned his mouth a few inches from hers. "You want to show me your gratitude?"
Ellie moved closer and rested her hands on the great expanse of Chance's broad chest. His mouth twitched in what might have been an unpracticed smile that shot straight through her like a ray of sunlight. She gave him the tight smile she saved for difficult guests, then whispered to him.
"Not if you were the last man in Texas.”
Jenna Kernan, The Last Cahill Cowboy

“Dang it, Chance. You been here one day and you killed a man and split another one's skull open. I got enough to do without you adding more work."
Chance kept his tone level. "He drew on me."
"Why were you over in the Badlands in the first place?"
"You know why."
Bowie glared, then lowered his voice. "Think you can get through a day without killing someone?"
"Don't know. It's early yet.”

Christine Hatfield thanks for being my friend


Melissa Keith The first book you signed was to me!? How exciting! I didn't know that. Very, very cool. Yes, this was a major move. We moved here from VA. I'm glad you're writing, writing, writing! Keep up the good work! :-)

Jenna Kernan Austin. Well, well. You have drifted far. I'm well and doing great. Working on a new Nocturne now and waiting on edits for the next Nocturne (Beauty's Beast 01/2013) and copy edits on a new Western. Busy, busy! But I sure do remember the first time I ever signed a book...yours!


Melissa Keith lol! Yep! It's me, Jenna. My hubby's in the Navy and we live in Austin now. I miss the cold and snow in the NE. How are you doing?
