I appreciate your taking time to find me on the web and I hope the site gives you reasons to linger.

With several of my books recently going out of print, I thought I'd let you know that I do have a few still in stock and you can order directly from me while supplies last. Click here for details.

If you know me at all, you know how much I love Paris. My son and daughter-in-law just returned from there and I hope you'll allow me this one moment of shameless promotion: To see some of the most gorgeous photos of Paris ever made, visit www.WhitsonPhotography.com.

This month I also want to highlight a new opportunity for booklovers. Chapter-a-Week has added a "chat feature." To participate, go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CAWChat/ and join the group. There you'll find all the books featured as part of Chapter-a-Week in a more in-depth format as featured authors answer questions and share their inspiration for their new book. My fall release Unbridled Dreams (about a trick rider for Buffalo Bill's Wild West) will be featured in September. I think you'll enjoy meeting all the great authors participating in upcoming weeks.

Thank you again for visiting today. Come back soon!

Irmagard Friedrich has everything most girls want including admission to a prestigious finishing school--and she's miserable. To her, the perfect life means becoming "Liberty Belle" in Buffalo Bill's Wild West. When Irma's father goes against her mother's wishes and orchestrates a secret audition, Irma begins to realize her dreams. But the Wild West proves to be more mud and manure than applause and acclaim, and Belle faces challenges raised by both her parents and the Wild West--not to mention Shep Sterling, the King of the Cowboys.
