Dear Reader,
I love reading stories that take place in the American West, so it’s no surprise that I love writing them as well. I’ve always compared our cowboys on the frontier to knights in medieval times, because both lived by a code where courage and character mattered above all. What makes Western romances even more fascinating and enthralling is the role women played in helping to settle the wild and wooly West.
The Man from Wolf Creek takes place at the very beginning of that effort to tame the West, in the mountains of Wyoming, where a young Nez Perce woman teaches a lonely mountain man to love again. In The Christmas Baby, a woman marries a dangerous enemy in an effort to end a feud that has cost her the lives of those most dear. In both stories, it is the power of love that heals wounds and mends fences.
I hope you enjoy reading these stories as much as I enjoyed writing them!
Take care and happy reading,
Joan Johnston
