    Well, I'm trying to reply to all of you and this may not be the way to do it. Perhaps, one comment would have worked for all? But then I want each and everyone of you to know how much I appreciate your interest in my work. I am excited about each new release and hope it brings you reading pleasure.

    Hope you do enjoy Blue Coat. It is a bit racier than I normally write but I wanted the characters to be honest. There's nothing just "stuck" in for thrills. Just how the story unfolds. Hope you like it. If you've read the other comments you know about the other releases and the new contract. Guess it's time to start writing the third in The Homesteader series.

    Thanks for your comments. Linda L at Fallen Angels review gave it a Recommended Read and 5 Angels so I am excited about that. Goodbye is Forever released at Wings this month as well as their having given me a contract for The Homesteader's Legacy for Feb. 2007. Richard Stroud did a great cover for this one, too. I'm glad you are looking forward to reading them.

    Thank you so much everyone!! April 1 approaches. Linda L, at Fallen Angels, has given Blue Coat a great review. I look forward to any feedback you all have. Also, I'm excited to report that Wings-Press.com has given me a contract for the sequel to The Homesteader, The Homesteader's Legacy and we already have a cover for it. I'm really excited about this new cover. Richard Stroud has done a great job as always! It releases February 2007. Again, thank you for your interest. I look forward to more of your comments.

    Ooooo... I like the sound of this book. Give me a good love triangle/quadrangle (or more?) and top it off with some adventure or less insane life style, and I'm all in
    This sounds like a must read .

    Thank you so much. I am excited about this book myself. I live near Reno. Since much of the story is set in Virginia City and Fort Churchill is an historic monument that you can physically see and watch reenactments, etc and (especially 4th of July) People dress up in period costume, including Calvary uniforms, and ride horses it is a great place to visit. No, I don't work for the Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, this particular book is very close to my heart and I am so happy Whisckeycreekpress.com decided to publish it. Wings-press.com brought out The Homesteader in May this year and it was their Best Seller for that month. It is about a woman homesteader in New Mexico, Molly Kling. She is very independent and is making a home for herself and step children when a stranger interfers with her plans. It is at Wings if you are interested in reading blurbs about it and an interview about me. Again, thanks for your kind comments. MJKEL

    What an interesting and curious quadrangle, just the tease in attractive and the civil war setting, is also a setting in a time of expansion and growth for a fledgling nation, still exploring the boundaries and limitations.

    Look forward to a good read!

    Wow, I love the civil war era. I've even been known to frequent those reenactments. This looks like a great story. I can't wait for April!
