An Exciting End To The Series – May 12!

Nan Reinhardt

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?

 

Howdy, y’all. Felicia here.

Well now, I’ve gone and wandered clear across the country again, and this stop? Ohhh, it’s been somethin’ special. First thing this Filly did was set me down at the table with a plate piled high with cookies. I reckon she was tryin’ to sweeten me up… and I ain’t complainin’ none.

After that, we took a little walk… okay, maybe we drove for a bit first. But wouldn’t you know it—I ended up where the breeze is soft, the sand’s warm, and the water stretches out farther than my eyes can see. I tell ya, it near took my breath away.

Now this Filly’s got a knack for tellin’ stories that make folks smile, but don’t let that fool ya—she’s got more than one trick up her sleeve. I got a feelin’ she could spin a tale just about anywhere and make you believe every word of it.
All righty… let’s see if you can figure out where I’ve landed!

Clue #1

This Filly now calls California home.

Clue #2

She’s known for writin’ sweet, wholesome romances full of heart.

Clue #3

She’s spent plenty of time out West with cowboys and small towns… but she don’t always stay there.

Clue #4

If you stop by, you just might find something fresh-baked waitin’ for you.

Clue #5

This Filly sure does know how to tell a story, whether it’s set in a dusty western town or somewhere a little more… unexpected.

Guess the Filly

All right now, have you figured out who I’m visitin’?

Drop her name in the comments, but don’t go braggin’ if you’re sure! We wanna keep things fair for everyone. The mystery Filly will pick a winner and send that lucky reader a $10 Amazon gift card so you can do a little book shoppin’.

If any of y’all know how to say no to a second cookie… or a third… I’d surely appreciate the advice.

Until next time, cowpokes…
Happy Trails to You!

It’s Yee-Haw Day!

Where is Felicia Filly?

Hello everyone! I just had the best time visiting one of the fillies in  her home state. I had quite the tour. I started at her home where she has really nice views! No wonder they call it Big Sky Country!

Of course it snowed shortly after I got there because the weather is unpredictable there. We had to feed the cows. I stood back, but enjoyed watching.

The snow melted in short order. Temperature swings are common here, I gather. Because of that my hosts took me to see the neighboring critters. Don’t worry–I stayed on my side of the fence.

After that we had so much fun going to the rodeo! The local cowboys were kind enough to allow me to hang around behind the chutes and watch the action!

And finally we ended the trip with a horseback ride in the mountains.

The very handsome cowboy who accompanied us held my horse and took this picture. What a sweetheart!

Can you guess who I visited? A randomly chosen correct guess will win a $10 Amazon 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.!

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.

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.

Where is Felicia Filly?

Howdy, y’all. Felicia here. I’m tickled pink ’cause the Fillies have all invited me to pay a call on them this year. They even agreed to put up Jasper for a few days. Whooee! I’ve been itchin’ to see more of the country, and now I finally have the chance. Besides, I already done chased away all the single cowboys in these here parts, so I’m hopin’ to try my luck in some new stompin’ grounds. All the Fillies asked is that I turn my visits into a blog game for our readers. Shoot. I been askin’ for more blog time anyhow. Seems like one of them win-win situations.

And speakin’ of WINS – y’all will be getting a chance to do just that. Whenever one of my travelogue posts show up, all you gotta do is guess which Filly I’m visitin’ based on the clues I give ya. Now, if you’re sure about your answer, don’t go braggin’ in the comments. We wanna keep this fair for everyone. Just leave the name of the Filly you think I’m visiting. You can find all their names in the header right above this post.

All righty. Let’s play our first game of the year.

Where is Felicia Filly?

Clue #1 – This Filly lives somewhere in Texas.

Clue #2 – This Filly likes to sip on hot tea and munch on nuts and dark chocolate to keep her fueled while writin’.

Hey, speakin’ of the Alamo – if memory serves, this Filly wrote a series of books with characters named after folks who were at the Alamo.

Clue #3 – This Filly collects them cute little Willow Tree figurines.

Clue #4 – Besides readin’ and writin’ this Filly also enjoys . . . (I bet you were thinkin’ I was gonna say ‘rithmetic. Nope!) . . . cross stitchin’. Last time I tried to sew something I near poked my eye out. Needles and me don’t get along.

Clue #5 – This Filly writes western fairy tales. With all them happy endings hangin’ about I thought I’d try to rope me a cowboy I done met, but the slipperly critter got away. Left his boot behind, though. Hey – that reminds me of one of those books.


Guess the Filly

All right. Have you figured out who I’m visitin’ yet? Drop her name in the comments. The mystery Filly will pick a winner and send that person a $5 Amazon gift card so you can do a little book shoppin’. If you find a book on ropin’ cowboys, send me a copy, would ya? I need all the help I can get.

Until next time, cowpokes.

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.
