Sorry, kiddos. No Monday Meanderings today. Why? Because I have some very important and exciting news to share!! I think most of you know my sister, Linda Broday, is also an author, right? Well, take a look at what we are doing! I’m not sure this has ever been done by any authors anywhere! We may be making history!

We are releasing our new books jointly on 8-11-25. Two completely different stories! And they are available now for pre-order!

BLURB:
Family meant everything to Cade McIntyre—until murderous raiders tore them apart.
The violence that took his parents’ lives also scattered his brothers and sisters to the four winds. Now grown, Cade vows to reunite them. A wanted poster naming his oldest brother as a member of a notorious outlaw gang horrifies him but Cade refuses to believe it.
When he discovers a clue about his older sister, the trail leads him to a quiet Texas town—just in time for a bank robbery. Cade locates his sister there, but before they can leave, a vigilante sheriff learns his name and believes he and his brother made off with the loot. All reasoning falls on deaf ears and Cade is forced to flee with the law hot on his heels.
At his hideout, Cade encounters a young Comanche woman who’s just escaped the cruelty of an Indian boarding school. In the forced solitude they find comfort in each other and unexpected romance.
But with danger closing in and the past refusing to stay buried, their chance at love may be a fleeting as dust in the wind.

BLURB:
A Young Man With the Heart of a Wolf
Eighteen-year-old Jack Barlow Blaine is driven by unwavering compassion for all, and a thirst for knowledge. Born into poverty and haunted by a violent past, he’s determined to escape his history by helping others—whether human or animal, no matter the cost.
But when Jack discovers an elderly woman in crisis, he faces a choice that challenges everything he thinks he knows about living and dying. The bargain she offers promises a better future, if the price isn’t higher than he’s capable of paying.
As Jack grapples with his decision, he must summon the courage to honor their bargain if he accepts her offer.
How far is he willing to go to keep his word?
The greatest acts of kindness are the ones that demand the most from us—and every decision can unlock destiny’s doors.
Many thanks to Staci Troilo for the new cover design for A Bold Bargain! She nailed it!
