Today is Release Day for my contribution to the Sleigh Ride Series…Here’s “A Sleigh Ride For Claire”!

He was the most stubborn and prideful man she’d ever met!
She was a busybody who stuck her nose in his business at every turn!
With Christmas on the horizon, Claire McAllister has far too much to do to entertain dreams of a husband and family. Even if she feels inclined to help Lincoln Wyse outwit his three mischievous young daughters, it’s impossible to imagine the handsome widower seeing her as anything but a scolding schoolteacher.

Even though the pretty schoolteacher never turned a favorable eye to him, Linc Wyse’s heart skipped a beat whenever she pinned him with her mesmerizing green eyes. Beautiful or not, Claire McAllister was a meddling spinster who placed judgments on him and his family.
Yet, neither one can imagine how three little, mischievous matchmakers and a magical Christmas Eve sleigh ride will open their eyes to love…or how the Lord will awaken their faith and hope.

I just received my Spur Award for Love on Target.

It is so awesome! The spur mounted on it is just the icing on the cake. I’m still so humbled and honored they chose my book for the romance novel category. This award is definitely going to have a special place in my office.

My niece decided we needed to get the whole family together for a photography session at her place. She arranged for the photographer, so all we had to do was give Dad a ride and arrive on time. When we were getting ready to leave Dad’s house, he carried out two cowboy hats. One of them is very “vintage” and the other one is fairly new. He asked which hat he should wear and I asked which one he liked the best.

He picked up the vintage hat and said, with emotion thick in his voice, “your momma gave this one to me.”

I nodded, doing my best not to cry. “Then that’s the one you should wear.”

So he did.

We haven’t gotten the photos back from the photographer yet, but she sent this one as a teaser. It makes my heart happy every time I look at it. I’m so glad Amanda decided it was time to get some photos with everyone, especially Dad. Have you done family photos recently?

Whoo, hoo! In case you missed it, my latest Heartwarming release, the first book in my new series, Rocking Chair Ranch, hit the shelves at the end of July. THE RODEO COWBOY’S RETURN is now available. So far, the reviews have been great, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Backcover blurb:

Coming back to the ranch…means facing his past—and his future
Rodeo cowboy Everett Owens broke a vow to watch over his best friend’s widow and son. But when his grandfather’s failing health leads him back to Arizona, he must face Macy Sommers, the single mother he abandoned to her grief—and the woman who has always held a special place in his heart. Could working together to save Pops’s ranch help to heal the past…and create a loving future neither imagined?

Upcoming Release – July 15th

https://www.amazon.com/Olivias-Odyssey-Westward-Hearts-Mail-Orders-ebook/dp/B0D488ZQPF?tag=pettpist-20

As a mail-order bride to a cattleman, Olivia Talbot expected her life would change.

What she didn’t expect upon her arrival was to discover she was a widow before she was a bride.

Things go from bad to worse after Olivia Talbot is let go from her position at the Butterick Pattern Company in Boston and her beloved Auntie Dee passes away. Armed with only her sewing machine and a letter of introduction to Mildred Crenshaw, proprietress of the Westward Home and Hearts Matrimonial Agency she soon finds herself corresponding with a cattleman from Cottonwood Falls, Kansas.

Arriving in Kansas, her hopes for a future with Nate Forester are dashed when the handsome sheriff delivers the news she won’t be getting married.

Sheriff Sam Wright can handle most trouble that comes his way in Cottonwood Falls. Yet, Olivia Talbot’s sapphire eyes and dark curls are a threat of a different kind, and soon she’s taking over his time and his thoughts.

As they grow closer, Olivia begins to hope there may be a future for her and Sam. Soon, however, doubts and fears start to plague her. What if he didn’t care for her as much as she cared for him? What if he fell in love with her only because he felt sorry for her?

But when an outlaw’s bullet threatens to crush the fragile seeds of love, Olivia is faced with losing him even before she has a chance to tell him she cares for him.

Will a leap of faith promise a new beginning?

Tomorrow is release day for Luna and I’m so excited to share this sweet and wholesome historical romance with you!

Set in 1914, the story includes a train robbery, a 4th of July parade, bronc bustin’, wheat harvest, and fun historical details woven throughout.

She’s searching for peace and grace

He’s ready to step into his next big adventure

Haunted by memories of the fateful day that changed her life, Luna Campanelli seeks a fresh start in Pendleton, Oregon. Life in the wild western town is nothing like she imagined, although the rugged beauty of the area soothes her troubled spirit. An unlikely friendship with one of the area ranch hands lifts her hopes, until she discovers the cowboy isn’t who he’s led her to believe.

Hunter Douglas didn’t intend to hide his identity from the woman he met on the train, but when she assumed he was his sister’s hired hand, he didn’t correct her. He never anticipated forming such a deep connection to her, especially when thoughts of her continue to infiltrate his carefully made plans. As a recent college graduate with an inheritance he intends to use to start his own ranch in Pendleton, Hunter must decide if he is willing to open his heart and include Luna in his future.

Will they embrace the unexpected love that has blossomed between them, or let fear tear them apart?

This sweet and wholesome romance is a story of love, healing, and the power of hope in a delightful western setting. Join Luna and Hunter on their journey as they discover what it truly means to love unconditionally.

I had the honor of doing a book signing at a wonderful store in downtown Branson, Missouri this past Saturday. Even ran into a P&P regular there! It’s always such a pleasure to see readers in person.

She Brings Beauty To Me

By

Karen Kay

NEW RELEASE!  $3.49 — 25% off its regular price of $4.99

A woman deserted.  A troubled warrior.  A passion denied.

  1. When 18-year-old Czanna Fehér is forced to flee Hungary, she journeys with her siblings to the American West. Learning of her parent’s death in Hungary, she sings a prayer to the grand, Montana mountains. As Blackfeet scout Stands Strong prepares to help Czanna and her family, he is captivated by Czanna’s song, as well as her beauty. Yet, they share nothing in common. Can two people from incompatible cultures ever find love? Or are their star-guided paths meant to only briefly cross?

An Amazon Review

A wonderful look at the frontier life and the original people. There are not many fictional books about American Indians as well researched.

This is the fourth installment in the series entitled “Medicine Man.” Karen creates interesting unforgettable characters. Her description of what the frontier looked like before the invasion of the white people is breathtaking. Before I made it to the first chapter, I was crying over the circumstances that we find our heroine Czanna facing. She’s thrust into an unimaginable situation and placed with an insurmountable burden. Luckily our hero Stands Strong is there to save and protect her family. This beautiful story unfolds with much love, adventure and understanding how two totally different cultures can learn from one another. A sweet romance you won’t be able to put down. If you haven’t read the first three books, I strongly recommend you do. Each is unique and well written.

SHE BRINGS BEAUTY TO ME

New Release Today

Back Blurb of the Book

A woman deserted.  A troubled warrior.  A passion denied. 

When eighteen-year-old Czanna Fehér is forced to flee her home in Hungary, she journeys with her younger siblings and her father’s manservant to Montana in search of her cousin. Mourning for her recently deceased parents, she sings a prayer to the grand, Montana mountains.  From the first moment Stands Strong hears Czanna singing, he is transfixed.  When he meets her, he is captivated as much by her dark beauty as he is by her voice.

But, after the family’s hired guide steals their money and runs, her father’s servant leaves Czanna to go and serve justice to the man, leaving Czanna desolate and in charge.  Being of the gentry class in Hungary, Czanna knows she and her siblings cannot survive in this land without help.  When Stands Strong comes to her aid, she realizes she must trust this man.

Lakota born, though raised by the Blackfeet, Stands Strong descends from a long line of medicine men, but this legacy seems to have skipped over him.  Accepting this, he has become an expert scout.  But, when Czanna attempts to hire Stands Strong as their guide, offering him the “evil gold rock” as payment, he suggests marriage to him instead.  Czanna refuses him, even though the flame of love is burning heatedly in her heart.

Can two people from incompatible cultures ever come together?  Or are their star-guided paths meant only to briefly cross?

Warning:  A sensuous romance that might cause a desire to go West in search of love and adventure.

I’m incredibly honored and excited to share the news that Challenging the Chef is the 2024 Holt Medallion Winner in the Long Contemporary category! You can see a list of all the winners here. It was such a fun surprise to get the news this weekend! I am positively giddy!

If you haven’t yet read the book, it’s part of the Summer Creek series. All the books can be read as stand alone.

When an interloper arrives in his kitchen, will romance start to simmer?

Chef Owen Thorpe left behind his celebrity status when he moved to Summer Creek. The quaint town and country atmosphere allow him to seek solace in his recipes. His peace and quiet is threatened when he’s coerced into being part of a big auction package that includes the winner spending a week cooking with him in his restaurant. The last thing he wants is some chef wannabe in his way. However, the real danger he faces is losing his heart when the winner turns out to be a beautiful woman who knows her way around a kitchen.

Burdened by the weight of her demanding career as a school psychologist, Tawni Young turns to cooking and gardening to escape from the never-ending stress of her work. When her aunt gifts her an auction package that includes cooking lessons in the small town of Summer Creek, Tawni realizes the chef she’ll be working with is none other than a celebrity she had a huge crush on during her college years. From the moment the two of them meet, an undeniable attraction sizzles while wits collide.

As they embark on a tantalizing journey of culinary delights, will Tawni and Owen discover the most important ingredient is love?

In this heartwarming and deliciously wholesome tale, Challenging the Chef takes readers on a savory adventure filled with sweet romance.

This week, my newest book, Iris, comes out! You can grab it for only .99! It’s also on Kindle Unlimited. I can’t wait for you to meet her!

 

Iris is a handful. Liam is in dire need of a wife. But is he that desperate?

Iris Green doesn’t mean to be such a walking disaster. Trouble just seems to find her though, and scares off all would-be suitors in the process. Unbeknown to her, her mother submits her name for a mail-order bride, thinking that’s the only way she’ll ever see her daughter married off.

Liam Gardener thinks it’s a hoot his potential bride has a flower as her name, it’s a perfect match for his last name, so it must be a good sign. However, moments after meeting her, he’s regretting it something awful. Iris comes in like a whirlwind and turns his quiet life upside down, and he’s not sure if he likes that.

When two very different personalities clash, will the outcome blossom into something special or will their future wilt before it even starts?

So excited for my latest cover reveal!  Here’s the back cover blurb:

A rancher searching for answers uncovers a town’s sinister secrets

Rancher Ridge Burnham unearths a gun and a strongbox of cash on his property—possible leads in his father’s unsolved murder. The sheriff’s department has ignored the case for years, but rookie deputy Elena Tomes is determined to prove herself by helping him find the truth. Faced with the town’s sordid history of drug running, Elena and Ridge must work together and trust each other. Now this decades-old cold case will expose the rot in their small ranching community…and the secrets that someone will kill for.

I can’t wait until it hits the shelves in late September.

Two Fun Afternoons

by
Spring flowers in background, text "Two Fun Afternoons Jill Kemerer, Petticoats & Pistols"

Two weeks ago, I finally did it. I left the house to do something other than buying groceries or picking up books from the library. Yeehaw!

The first fun afternoon happened to be on my release day. My new book, UNITED BY THE TWINS, released on February 20, 2024, and I always take the day off to celebrate. This time I decided to drive out to the country to visit a cute boutique/tea shop that had been on my list of places to check out for over a year. It didn’t disappoint.

The little boutique resides in an outbuilding on a farm miles away from the nearest town. I loved driving past the fallow farm fields to get there. Winter can be dreary, for sure, but I find beauty in the season, too. When I arrived, I entered a warm, cozy, well-lit space. Upbeat music from the 40s played through the speakers, and every step revealed a different display of super cute items. Here’s a snapshot of the interior.

Interior of boutique

As you can see, the shop had an assortment of lovely items. From purses and decor, to honey and tea, it had all the cute things I tend to adore. I ended up purchasing a precious little lamp with three birds on the base. My husband and I have several bird feeders in our backyard, and I enjoy watching them.

The second fun afternoon was in a vastly different area than the first. My husband and I went downtown Toledo to browse a reclaimed home furnishings store. Basically, a large, old building had been converted into a secondhand store for home items such as old knobs, doors, hinges, chandeliers, even colored toilets/sinks/tubs from decades ago.

We were amazed at how intricate many of the items were. Engraved hinges, wooden bureaus with inlaid designs, elegant lighting. It made us both appreciate the craftsmanship of yesteryear.

Below is just one of the massive sections.

Old warehouse with secondhand home furnishings

We had a great time wandering through the space, and we even met a friend–the kitty, Amy. I would have gladly taken that little cutie home!

Amy, the cat

The photos don’t do either place justice. The first shop felt like walking into a warm hug. Very cozy and contained. The second was more like strolling into an adventure–you weren’t sure where the sprawling space would take you.

I’m thankful to have visited both. And now, back to my usual outings. Kroger and the library, here I come!

Have you visited a new place recently? What did you think of it?

Have a wonderful day!

Book #1 – Love Train Sweet Historical Romance Series

To buy on AMAZON

Karen Kay

Starting today, Monday, two of my e-book series’ are going on sale:  the first is the entire three e-book Medicine Man series.  The second series is the four e-book series, The Lost Clan.  Both of these series’ are solid historical romance, Native American, but also have more of a paranormal element than what I usually write.  But, I should also say they will only be on sale for a short while.  If you’ve ever wanted to pick up either of these series’, now might be the time.

 

The Medicine Man Series

The author of this series is planning a four book series where the hero of each story is one of the tribe’s medicine men and the heroine is a white woman. Although each book is a Historical Romance at its heart, because the hero of the story is a spiritual leader, each story contains more paranormal elements than this author’s usual Historical Romances.

 

The Lost Clan Series

Many centuries ago, a village killed the children of the Thunder god.  For their crime, the Creator banished them to live a half existence in the land of shadows, neither dead nor alive.  But once a generation, a brave is given the opportunity to save his clan.

She’s not what he expected…but could she be what he needs?
What she thinks she wants, isn’t what she gained.

Whispering Pines, Minnesota 1865

The stipulation of her father’s will was to the point.
In order to retain ownership of Stewart Woodsmiths, Bronwyn Stewart must marry or forfeit the business to the highest bidder. With three half-siblings to raise, little money, and no place to go, she needs help not only with the business but with the children. Yet, when Ian Taggart lands on her doorstep, she sees just the opposite of what she advertised for…or what she needs.
Imprisoned during the War Between the States, Ian Taggart doesn’t see himself as a worthwhile candidate for anything…much less a husband. Yet, when he meets his soon-to-be-bride, he sees a woman wounded in spirit.
Forging ahead in faith, can Ian and Bronwyn find the courage to see beneath the surface and create a forever family?

After significant editing to fit the sweet romance market, I’m re-releasing WYOMING WILDFLOWER, one of my earlier titles.  I’ve kept all the Old West grittiness, though, as well as the historical accuracies of the time.  Cattle rustling, squatters, the infamous Cheyenne Club, the famous range detective, Tom Horn – what’s not to love?

Here’s a blurb:

One of her father’s daughters . . .

All Sonnie Mancuso wants is to be needed by her father.  Unfortunately, he already has a daughter–six, to be exact–and all he needs is a son.

One of her father’s men . . .

Orphaned in the slums of New York, fifteen-year-old Lance Harmon needs a home.  Sonnie’s father gives him one, on the cattle-rich Rocking M ranch.  Through the years, Lance learns to love the land, the work . . . and Sonnie.

And their legacy . . .

But Vince Mancuso’s health is failing, and there’s trouble on the Wyoming range.  Sonnie returns home to claim the legacy that’s rightfully hers . . . but learns Lance has already claimed it.

I got some great news recently. My upcoming release, If the Boot Fits, received a positive review in Publisher’s Weekly! This is one of the industry’s biggest review publications and for some reason, they haven’t chosen to review any of my books in years. The last book of mine they reviewed was A Worthy Pursuit.
.
Here’s my favorite quote from the article:
.
“With a plot full of masked cowboys, family intrigue, and ranch politics, there’s ample suspense to keep readers turning pages, and the romance between Asher and Samantha offers just enough sweetness to balance things out. Witemeyer’s fans will be on the edge of their seats all the way through to the satisfying conclusion.”

If Not Now, Then When?

The if not now, then when question has been on my mind as I grow older and played into why I’m writing this while waiting for the remaining passengers to load on my flight to Los Angeles. More about how this unexpected trip came about later. Great teaser, huh? ?

I think I’ve mentioned I’m not big on change. I’m a routine gal. It’s called a comfort zone for a reason, after all. When plans get thrown off, I get stressed. I’m not the most spontaneous person either. As Alison in one of my favorite movies, The Sure Thing says, “Spontaneity has its time and place.” Yup, that’s me.

When I travel, I start thinking about what to take weeks in advance. I consult the weather repeatedly, pull outfits with coordinated jewelry, and plan for contingencies. Because I hate waking up and having to wear something, I take more clothes than necessary. I worry I’ll forget something or have the wrong clothes. I love traveling once I get on the plane, but everything before stresses me out.

For 2023, I’m working on these issues. I want to be more spontaneous and live without regrets. I refuse to let fear or stress hold me back. I’m also tired of putting things off, of saying someday I’ll do _____. Fill in the blank. Visit dear friends who’ve moved away. Travel to Hawaii. Whatever. I’m saying no to things I don’t want to do. That gives me more time for what I love and what brings me joy. Too often we forget how limited and precious time is. We say if only the timing were better. If only I had the money. If only ___. Again, fill in the blank.

Which brings me back to flying to LA. My youngest received a week’s notice he’d been selected as a contestant for a game show taping in LA. Even before we learned neither his boyfriend or best friend could attend, my hubby and I wanted to go. But it wasn’t a good time. Flights would be expensive. My bff, Lori, was to arrive two days before we’d leave for LA. After a long phone conversation, she decided not to go with us to LA, but insisted I go. Her exact words were, “This is a once in a lifetime thing. You are going.” (Thankfully, Southwest would issue a voucher to reschedule if she cancelled her flight.)

So here I am, flying to LA. This trip helped me work on the issues I mentioned earlier. I had to pack with little notice. (I’m impressed how efficiently I did considering if Nathan gets to the final round we will be seen on TV.) Leaving Tuesday and returning Friday threw my work and life routines out the window. The cost was more than we should’ve spent, but hubby and I don’t care. We would have no regrets the way we did when we missed Nathan’s first once in a lifetime experience. Yup, that’s right. Nathan, at 25, has had two once in a lifetime experiences.

While Nathan was in college, Tony award winning actress Kristin Chenoweth sang at Rowan University and needed backup singers. When no baritone students auditioned, the professor charged of selecting the singers contacted Nathan . Between the super short notice—maybe two days—and it being December, tickets prices were insane. (More than double the LA tickets.) We didn’t go, and I’ve always regretted not being there.

I’m trying to ask myself “If not now, then when,” when I have decisions to make. If I may never get this opportunity again or I’ll have regrets, I’m saying yes.

I’m writing this last bit on the plane home. While I can’t share how the game went for Nathan until after his episode airs, I can say hubby and I were incredibly blessed to have shared this experience with him because if not now, then when would we ever have a chance like this again?
