THE CAPTIVE HEART What is true freedom?

I hope you didn't pack away your wangdoodlers and floogbuglehorns quite yet. This is a summer to celebrate! Start banging away on your drums and crank up the ol' applause machine because . . .

Oops.

Okay, enough horseplay, and seriously, do horses really play? Like what . . . pinochle? I'm a city girl so I've never understood that one. But I digress.

A NEW FREAKING BOOK BY YOURS TRULY

YES I AM SHOUTING

I AM FAIRLY EXCITED

Wait a minute . . . I should go change my pants.

Okay, now then, I just signed yet another contract with Barbour for a novel, due out some time next fall (2016). It's called The Captive Heart and here's the blurb:

Proper English governess, ELEANOR MORGAN, contracts to work for a rich Charlestown family, but when the man never arrives to make good on his promise, she must settle for what’s left—an offer of marriage to a man she’s never met. SAMUEL HEATH is a hardened survivor, used to getting his way by brain or by brawn. He will find a mother for his infant child. The trouble is who would marry a murderer? 

If you happen to be more of a visual learner and/or illiterate (though I suppose that's kind of a moot point because you wouldn't have gotten this far now, would you?), HERE's the Pinterest board.

So, I suppose I'd better quit this equine frivolity and get writing, eh?
