A delightful new addition from Lucy and Branch’s story in Book #1, For Liberty and Love.

Lucy’s little brother, Theo, has his own children’s rhyming book!

~~ #1 Bestseller ~~

Eight-year-old Theo Carlson thinks it is just another summer day in Philadelphia. He wakes with a stretch and a yawn, pulls on his stockings, buckles his shoes, and hurries off to finish his chores. There are vegetables to water, eggs to gather, and plenty of little wonders waiting to catch his attention along the way.

But before long, Theo realizes this is no ordinary day.

Crowds begin gathering near the Pennsylvania State House. Bells ring through the city, excitement fills the cobblestone streets, and everyone seems to be waiting for something important to happen. Walking with his mother and his older sister, Lucy, Theo follows the sound of the bells and the joyful stir of the crowd. With a wooden bandalore toy in his pocket, a lost puppy in his arms, and a heart full of questions, Theo finds himself standing in the middle of a moment that will change America forever.

The fillies are riding in with news fit for sharing!

Sarah Lamb

I’m riding in to share this brand new release! It’s the next to last in my historical romance series taking place in Red Ridge, but each book stands alone on it’s own just fine too!

Gus Malone has spent years watching younger folks find their happy endings while his own heart stayed silent. He’s loved Glinda Stover from afar for longer than he cares to admit, but what does an aging cowboy with calloused hands and an empty wallet have to offer a woman like her? He can barely choke out a “good morning.” Asking her to take a moonlit walk is far beyond him.

Glinda Stover is a woman who built her own life, nail by nail, and pretended she never needed a soul. Then a stranger rides into Red Ridge with a claim that could destroy everything she’s worked for. Too old to start over, Glinda faces an impossible choice, especially when a piece of her heart is here, and belongs to a man who’ll never know.

As Gus and Glinda try to stop the stranger, their race against time turns into something neither expected. But when the dust settles and the truth comes out, will Gus finally find the courage to speak what’s been locked in his heart for years? Or will fear of losing her keep him silent forever? And if he can’t say it, will she?     Find it here to buy or read on Kindle Unlimited!

I’m excited to share that my Christmas novella – A Star in the West – with my nerdy mathematics professor hero is a finalist for the prestigious ACFW Carol Award! YeeHaw!

I had so much fun writing this story, and it makes my heart smile to see that others are enjoying it so well.
And before this blog post went live, I learned of a second final. WooHoo! To Love a Beast is a finalist in the Faith, Hope, & Love Reader’s Choice Awards. I delighted that readers enjoyed my western spin on the classic Beauty & the Beast tale.

Shanna Hatfield

I’m thrilled to share I have a new wholesome western romance releasing this week!

He’s spent decades guarding his heart.

She’s spent a lifetime chasing the horizon.

Neither of them were prepared for love to catch them by surprise.

Widower Jason Price isn’t looking for romance. As a trusted pickup man for the Rockin’ K Rodeo Company, part-owner of his family’s ranch, and a proud grandpa, his days—and his heart—are already full. Love is for younger folks with fewer scars and more time.

Photographer Lainey Collins traded corporate life for the open road, capturing the faces and stories of everyday people. Living out of her travel van, she’s built a life of freedom, purpose, and just enough distance to keep her heart safe.

But when a chance meeting at a rodeo puts her in Jason’s orbit, everything begins to shift.

As Lainey sets out to create a book featuring the faces of the rodeo, she finds herself returning again and again—to the arena… and to Jason. What begins as a project turns into something deeper as sparks fly, laughter comes easy, and two guarded hearts start to open.

Falling in love is one thing.

But trusting it—and daring to build a future—is another.

Can a cowboy who’s learned to live without love and a woman who’s always kept moving finally find a place to belong… together?

Coming June 4!

PROUD MAMA ALERT! I am so excited to let y’all know that my daughter Jessica just graduated from the Oklahoma City University School of Law two weeks ago on May 16th!

Jessica had a whole other career/life happening when COVID hit and completely shut down the acting/casting agencies (including the one she worked for here in OKC) back in 2020 or so. She went back to school and received her psychology degree, and then was offered a full ride scholarship to the OCU School of Law.

It has been a very tough time the last three years for her, with having to work AND go to school full time, but she made it and we are just so proud of her. Here are a few pictures of her graduation day!

Jessica and me outside the graduation venue there on campus, just after it was over–(Mama sure looks tired…) LOL 

Family picture outside the graduation venue on campus–my d-i-l Kayla, daughter Jessica, husband Gary, me, and son Casey. Such a joyful day for all of us!  Just wanted to share with my P&P family here! YEEEEEE-HAWWWWW!

I got some fun news last week. My second ever Harlequin book about a cowboy veterinarian and woman construction company owner/former trick rider called “The Family Plan” was reissued, along with two other authors, in a German trade book edition. My book was retitled “Mein Herz will zurtick zu dir” – which translates to “My Heart Wants to go Back to You”.

Big doings in my little Indiana town of River’s Edge! Three of the fourteen River’s Edge titles are going to audio with Brilliant Audio. I’m soooo excited to have the Weaver Sisters trilogy in audiobook! I love how hard my publisher, Tule Publishing, works for their authors!

I’m happy to announce that IF SHE WERE MINE has hit the #1 spot for Indigenous Romance four different times this past week.  Normally selling at $5.99, it is currently on sale at a 40% discount at $3.59.

This is a forbidden love story—forbidden by both sets of parents–which begs the question: will the hero and heroine get a second chance at love? Set in the 1870’s, this sensual love story is sprinkled with paranormal, Native American style. But, if you love the old west as it was lived and loved by the First Americans, you’re going to love this story.

Where is Felicia Filly?

Whoo-hoo, friends! I’m here today in the beautiful southwest visiting a filly who’s lived for most of her life in the in a state that boasts one of the seven natural wonders or the world. Do you know which wonder? (hint: it’s quite “grand”) Growing up in a city that used to call itself “The West’s Most Western Town”, how could she not have ridden and raised horses since her high school days?

This filly thought it would be fun to treat me like a cute cowgirl version of Elf on a Shelf. She posed me on different shelves around her house that, if you look closely, will give you a clue about her and her life. Can you guess who she is?

Clue #1

She loves to collect horse statues, especially Breyer horses, and still has one that she got for Christmas when she was fourteen. The brass ones in this photo are antiques – another kind of the horses she likes to collect.

Clue #2

This filly and her husband do a lot of traveling. She has two shelves filled with little trinkets from places they’ve been.

Clue #3

She recently redecorated her office and has surrounded herself with things that motivate and inspire her. One office wall is filled with cute cat pictures. What else would you expect from this kitty lover?

Clue #4

Yet another wall in her office is filled with typewriters. The one on the far left is over a hundred-years old (I did mention she collects antiques). See those badges hanging from the hooks? They are from her volunteer work with the Alzheimer’s Association – a cause that’s near and dear to her heart.

Clue #5

Last but not least, this filly has a book scheduled to come out this summer. She confided in me that she’s really excited about this release and will be telling you more about in soon!

Well, all I can say after my visit with this filly is, with all these shelves and stuff on them, I wouldn’t want to have to be the one to dust her house (hee, hee).

Can you guess who I visited? A randomly drawn winner will receive a $10 gift card!

I’m riding in with two exciting releases. First, a box set release, and then a new book in my series, the Red Ridge Chronicles. Here’s a little about each!

 

A sheriff with a secret, a heartbreaking love triangle, and a woman betrayed in a devastating way. Twice. Let these three historical stories sweep you away to the small town of Spring Falls. Each of these books was published independently, and now are together in one collection.

Find it here.

 

Kent Jackson came to Red Ridge seeking redemption. As the new hotel owner, he’s determined to build a reputable business and become part of the community—a fresh start where no one knows his past. But peace proves elusive. When trouble arrives, Kent must choose: cooperate with dangerous men, or watch innocent people suffer. Including the woman who’s captured his attention and made him hope for more than he deserves.

Find it here.

When her dying friend pleads for help to finish a renovation project, Ava Howell can’t refuse, even though her promise means leaving her new career and familiar life in New York to travel to a remote ranch in Texas. She’s good at what she does, and the ghost town vacation resort would look great on her resume, but it means tangling with the ex-military cowboy who is determined to stop her as soon as she arrives.

 

Beau Paxton needs to sell the land and ghost town to save his family’s struggling ranch. He’s a formidable enemy to Ava’s determination, but the harder she works, the more his attraction for her grows. He doesn’t want to set aside his plans so she can succeed at hers, yet he finds himself doing just that…

 

Will a promise bring a city girl and a sexy cowboy together? Or will a broken one drive them apart?

My new book, “No Finer Dream” will release on March 6th!! It is the final book in the popular Chasing a Dream series. 

 

 

“Your journey doesn’t have to end in disappointment.”

Lila Hartley had waited for hours on the frozen train platform, a mail-order bride no one came to claim, her trunk beside her like a tombstone. The man who’d promised her marriage, a home, and a future, left her stranded two thousand miles from Boston with nothing but the clothes on her back and a heart full of shattered dreams.

Just when hope was fading, a man emerged from the white curtain of snow like an apparition, took off his coat, and changed her life.

Clay McCallister viewed every woman who had taken a chance on the frontier as the sister he’d failed…a woman who’d risked everything for the possibility of something better, much like the woman standing on the platform in the bitter cold.

Sometimes warmth doesn’t always come from fire — sometimes it comes from the heart.

My second piece of new is…I got a tattoo!! I always said if I was going to have one, I’d want my nephew, Joe Mele, to be the artist. It is an olive branch for my Italian heritage, a cross for my faith, and the initials for my two grandsons!

   

Did you know the art of tattooing has adorned human skin for millennia? Stop by the Petticoats and Pistols blog on Thursday, March 5th when I’ll be posting about the history of tattoos in the U.S.!

THE COWBOYS COMEBACK by Nan Reinhardt
Release date January 29, 2026Definitely one of my favorite tropes second chances.I loved the story with Bo and Cassie. That a horrible break up five years earlier. Now they find themselves stuck on the same ranch. one is a trainer and one is a student. This is a wonderful opportunity for both of them. Can they make it work?For me all of Nan’s books are unputdownable! And this was definitely no exception. I loved being on Juniper Falls ranch.
Please keep them coming, Nan ?

I’m excited it’s release day for a new book!

Her whole life, Ellen Grayson has lived by one rule: stay away from the Claytons. They’re dangerous, evil, and sworn enemies of her family. But when she finds herself on Clayton land, the one who protects her doesn’t match the monster from her parents’ stories. Drawn to him, Ellen is determined to uncover the bitter feud that has kept them apart.

Derek Clayton has loved Ellen from afar since childhood, stealing glimpses of her whenever their paths cross in town. As the third generation caught in a family war, he knows the only way to keep her safe is to stay away, no matter how much he wishes otherwise. It’s gotten more difficult to hide his feelings, and he can no longer deny the powerful pull between them.

But are they doomed to love only in secret for a chance that may never come? Ellen and Derek must decide if their forbidden love is strong enough to finally end the feud that has haunted their families for generations. Or if they’ll be forever waiting in the shadows.

Start reading Waiting in the Shadows now, and get swept away into a romantic, forbidden romance.

This is silly news, but it still makes me happy, so I thought I would share. I love book-related T-shirts, and this year, I found two new ones under the tree. The Book Nerd one is from my hubby, and the Books, Tea, Happy tee is from my middle son and daughter-in-law. Perfect for this tea-loving gal.

I also received a cute new card game called Whoa There, Cowboy. It’s a bluffing game with fun western flair.

I hope you found some fun new goodies under your tree as well. 🙂
