Ridin the storm out~
It's been a bit of a challenging spring with the passing of my mom. Someone said to me that we're getting to that age where we suddenly become orphans. I'd never thought of it that way, but it certainly gives one pause to consider how fleeting our time on this big blue marble really is.
This year also happens to be a biggie in terms of milestone class reunions. In the past we've planned reunions in the summer months, but this year, we've chosen to hold our reunion on the most appropriate of weekends--Homecoming.
Appropriate,too, that our class motto was Ridin' the Storm Out (Reo Speedwagon)
The retrospection, memories, the choices, the challenges--all fit perfectly into the story line of my current WIP--the long-awaited RENEGADE HEARTS
(P.S. I thank readers profusely for your patience!)
Renegade Heart's is a story about the choices--at times reckless, but somehow justified-- and how life can change on a dime. And its about second chances, how life comes full circle and if we're lucky, we get the chance to do things right.
As in all the Kinnison books the dynamics of close-knit family and a strong community come into play as does the integrity, loyalty and dedication to their legacy of those three formidable Kinnsion brothers, Wyatt, Dalton and Rein.
This is Dalton's story--the rebel-- and undeniably my favorite type of hero to write. Complex, brooding--a seductive layering of passion, anger and pride, coated with delicious sense of what is right, determination, loyalty and all-male sexiness.
He drives women wild and knows it, yet can't get the attention of the one woman who's returned from his past and the current cause of his sleepless nights.
Its a juicy, complex meeting of two very bruised-by-life and passionate people, looking to find the very happiness that everyone around them seems to have. Yet can they get past whats happened before and find enough to build a future?

Can a widower keep his dying wife's last wish?
Snuggle up with a cup of tea and a heart-warming holiday read from Amanda McIntyre
[image error]
Widowed Irishman, Brady McCormick made a promise to his young wife the day she died--to bring their son to America and begin a new life in the land of opportunity. Living in charity with a distant uncle in New York, barely scraping by, Brady is unsure he will be able to uphold the promise, much less quell the loneliness, until an angel appears at the docks, Saran Reichardt.
Headstrong and tenacious, gentlewoman Saran knows she's unlike most women of society. Dedicated to teaching and helping the impoverished, she has no need of a man to take care of her, but an accidental encounter with a stormy-eyed Irish immigrant and his young son changes her perception of what need really is. Will this holiday give them both the hope and faith they desire or will their own stubbornness keep them apart?
1857 passage from Ireland to New York"Is it far to Uncle Stephen’s flat, Da?" Brady glanced down at his ten-year-old son through bleary eyes. They’d been crammed like sardines in the bowels of the merchant ship for weeks unable to go topside due to trade regulations. It had taken most of their savings to attain passage from Irelandto the Americas."Tis not far, as I’ve been told. Your Mother's Uncle is very gracious to take us in. We should be grateful for his kindness." Brady raised his chin over the sea of disembarking passengers—most immigrants like him and Danny. They carried few possessions, if any, wrapped in crude knapsacks or rolled blankets like he and his son."Da, do you miss Ma?" His son, straightened his tweed cap, knocked askew by a passerby.Brady’s heart twisted with fresh grief. His Mary Margaret had taken ill two years before they were to set sail for the Americas. It was in the few months before their dreams were to come true that she took a turn for the worse, not long after, she died in her sleep. The doctor attributed it to her body simply weakening from the virus over a period of time.They’d known each other since they were children skipping stones along the pond bridging the properties of the family farms.One of the last moments of bliss he remembered with his wife before her illness worsened played teasingly in his mind. He could still recall how the pal moonlight shone a swatch of shimmering light across the bed they’d shared for nigh on to eleven years."Think of Christmas in the Americas, Brady. Can you imagine? I’ve heard no one starves there, and everyone lives in their own flat."Her gentle sigh, as always made him smile. He stroked her fiery auburn curls, by day coiled in a soft halo about her head, but at night set free to tumble luxuriously over her shoulders. Even now, his hands ached for the loss of not being able to brush her hair each night.Brady knew her chances of actually seeing the passage through to the end were slim; still he hesitated to let her know that he’d already reconsidered the journey in lieu of staying in Ireland."Promise me this, Brady."Her voice, even weak, held an authoritative tone. He’d always teased her about being too bossy."What is it, my love? You’ll be in need of that new wardrobe before we take passage? Or is it the spinning wheel to be mended before we give it to your sister?""None of those, Brady."She sighed again, giving him a half-hearted slap to his bare chest. Her palm, small and warm, lay exactly where it always lay after they made love."Then what is your wish, my dear wife? And since it is nearly the holidays, I suggest you choose your words carefully.""Aye, "she whispered. "Truly, it is my fondest wish.""Then pray woman, tell me before the dawn rises.""Promise me that you’ll take Danny to America, no matter what happens."Brady kissed the top of his young wife’s hair hoping to quell her concerns as well as his own. The thought of losing Mary Margaret was inconceivable."And one more promise…"Chilly fingers of dread tickled Brady’s neck. "What is that, love?""That you will marry again. You are much too young and Danny will need a mother."Brady drew her tight to his chest. "Hush, Margaret. Tis a bad omen to speak like this, you and I--together--will be taking out son to America.""Aye, I know tis our plan Brady, but promise me anyway.""I cannot promise such a thing Margaret. You’ve no right to ask such foolishness.""Is it not foolish to hide the facts, Brady McCormick?"
"These are not facts, Mary Margaret, but fearful musings and I insist that they stop." He rested his chin in the warmth of her hair. "I will promise that we will make this journey--together."
