Hi, everyone.
Just a note to let you know I'll be a featured
speaker at Literacy Alive in Silver City, New Mexico, on April
5, 2008, sponsored by the Friends of the Library. Fellow
New Mexico author Michael McGarrity is the keynote.
I'll also be signing books at the annual convention of the
American Association of Petroleum Geologists in San Antonio
on April 21 at their bookstore from 9:30 to 11:30, and 1:30
to 3:00.
Since I've updated my newsletter, a lot has happened. Lake of Fire,
the third book in the Yellowstone Series, was
released in October, 2007 to wonderful reviews – see
the books page. I was able to get copies for my September
book tour in Yellowstone, so I had all three of the series
available. Folks were wonderful, many bought all three
so they'd have an autographed set.
I've completed the book I had previously called Night of Fire,
the fourth Yellowstone Novel set largely in Jackson Hole during
the period 1925-1927 – now I'm planning to call it Jackson
Hole Journey. The story follows the growing
family of characters from Lake of Fire (set
in 1900) onto a dude ranch in Jackson Hole. Jackson
Hole Journey takes place between the earthquake-activated
Gros Ventre Landslide on June 23, 1925 and May 17, 1927, when
the dammed-up waters behind the slide break free. This
natural disaster destroyed the town of Kelly, Wyoming.
BUT, before my agent locates a publisher for it, we've decided
to add a proposal for yet another Yellowstone story. Land
of Smoke and Thunder, will follow the early explorers
of Yellowstone in 1870 and 1871, ending with the establishment
in 1872 of the world's first national park.
For fans of romance, The Senator's Daughter, writing
as Christine Carroll came out January 1, 2008. I'm still
working to complete Sins of the Fathers,
the third story set in the San Francisco Bay Area.
The new Christine Carroll book The Senator's Daughter is
the spin off to Children of Dynasty,
by Christine Carroll - the story of two secondary characters
- Sylvia Chatsworth and Lyle Thomas. To see more on Children
of Dynasty and the The Senator's
Daughter please see www.readchristinecarroll.com.
For fans of Lany, I've got in her latest pic.
Thanks for stopping by! |
