Review
Sell Sheet
Tennessee Waltz and Ransom’s Bride are my first two historical romances. Currently, they
are out-of-print. They weren’t sold as connected books, but
Kenninsgton bought them for an imprint called the Ballad
line and they were to be part of an umbrella series of
stand alone books about former female Confederate
spies who worked for Fletcher Darring. Alas,the line folded
a few months after the editor offered me a contract. My books were tacked
onto the regular Zebra historical romance line and treated as
separate books. They do not have to be read in sequence but do share
some of the same characters.
Ransom's Bride earned two distinctions in 2005
Winner, Historical Category,
2005 Gayle Wilson Award Of Excellence
Finalist, Southern Theme category
2005 Holt Medallion
