Have you read Angel yet? It’s book 2 in a brand new, multi-author, Christmas Brides Series. Fleeing an overbearing uncle who promised her hand to a man old enough to be her grandfather, Angel Bishop left Savannah and headed west with her sisters as a mail-order bride and didn’t look back. When she arrived in the town of Angel Creek where her groom is supposed to meet her, she’s surprised to find another man has come to collect her, a man so handsome she can’t get him out of her mind.   Garrett Carter didn’t have a problem doing anyone a favor but when sheriff Harold Tate asked him to pick up his bride and bring her to town, he should have refused. He’d never believed in love at first sight but one look at Angel Bishop and he was smitten. With Harold out of town, Angel depends on him for nearly everything and as Christmas draws near, he’s not sure how he’ll ever let her go. Did those shy looks she gave him mean she felt the same? And if so…what would the townsfolk think if he stole another man’s bride?   https://amzn.to/3VLBrro  

It’s finally here!

It’s a bittersweet thing seeing as this is the LAST Willow Creek book, but REBEL HEARTS is now live. Sophie Hilam craved adventure, but ending up riding with a gang of bandits wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. Nor was falling for one of them. Jackson Shaw was the type of man her parents would hate, but her rebel heart was drawn to him regardless of the fact he was a no-good, rotten scoundrel. Jackson Shaw lived each day as if it was his last because it very well could be. When he meets a beauty he can’t stop thinking about, fate throws him the chance of a lifetime and he isn’t going to waste it, but when his past comes back to haunt him, and the gang he’s trying to outrun catches up with him, it’s up to him to save the woman of his dreams. His only hope is she forgives him when she finds out who he really is. Get your copy NOW!

Introducing L. R. Graison

If you’ve followed me for awhile, you’ve probably seen some of my books disappearing from retail sites. The reason for this was…I just didn’t think those werewolves and rock stars sit well next to my cowboys. The books were all older and they looked out of place so…I removed them, which I really hated to do because I Love Those books! They might have been written years ago but saying goodbye to them hurt my heart. When I wrote the new SciFi Romances, I noticed the same thing…they just didn’t look right sitting next to my cowboys but I wasn’t ready to pull the plug on those. They were still ‘new’ enough taking them down seemed foolish so I did the next best thing. I created a new Pen Name. L. R. Graison will be the name I use to release any future ‘non cowboy’ books. The Prison Moon sci-fi romance books have been moved (the name change already appears on these books and are available on the L. R. Graison Amazon page) and in 2021, I will be rebranding and re-releasing my Night Breeds paranormal romance series (which I really hope to get back to one day. Sabriel is screaming for his story!) and the Wicked Series, my contemporary rock star romances. I’ve set up a new Newsletter list for L. R. Graison books. I know I have a few ‘sci-fi’ readers who may not care about the cowboy books and I’m sure there are Willow Creek fans who would rather not hear about my alien warlords and the dragon shifters on Prison Moon One so now, you can chose which Newsletter list to be on. If you subscribe to my Newsletter and like the ‘Lily’ historicals, then you don’t have to do anything at all. You’ll still receive … Keep Reading!

A Soft Kiss in Winter is Now Availabe At All eBook Retailers!

One of the requirements for putting a book into Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program is it has to stay for  90 days. Once its up, you can pull it out but….you have to remember to ‘un-tick’ the box saying ‘stay in Kindle Unlimited’ or…it rolls over and it stuck for another 90 days. You have no idea how many times I kept forgetting to do that! The book is now wide for those of you who were waiting for it to come out. The buy links are below.    Running away from home to marry the man she thought was the love of her life should have been the happy ending Victoria Stanford expected it to be, but things rarely work out as one plans.

Willow Creek Make-Over

  Some of you may have seen the new covers I’m having made for the Willow Creek series and for those who haven’t, surprise! The series is getting a facelift and I’m still excited every time I see a new cover. The Lawman came out way back in November 2011. Hard to beleive its been seven years since I took a notion to write a book in a genre I loved to read. I had no clue if I would be sucessful writing them and at the time, I didn’t really care. I just enjoyed the genre and took a leap. And here we are, eight novels later.  The rebrand started with Nightingale. I hired a cover artist to make the cover for me as they were time consuming for me to do and–I’m a writer, not a cover artist. When I received the cover, I loved it so much I decided to have them all rebranded to match. Below are those last four novels, all with new covers.         This month, I’m starting on the first four books – the Avery brothers. The Lawman was first and I received the cover today. One thing I wanted to do with these, was keep them as close to the orignals as I could so no one would mistake them for differnt (new) books. I’ve grown fond of the couples on the front of the books which made it hard to repleace them on His Brother’s Wife and A Willow Creek Christmas. The photos I had used just didn’t work with this new design so they had to be changed but — I’m in no way disappointed. They are super sexy now! The Outlaw will get its make-over in January, with the last two coming in February and March and I … Keep Reading!

The 129th (Old) Soldiers Reunion

  In the town I grew up in, there is a yearly event that everyone looks forward to and this week marks the 129th Soldiers Reunion Week. The Soldiers Reunion is (credited as) the longest-running patriotic celebration in the United States not based on an official holiday. The tradition began in the county seat town (Newton, NC in Catawba County) on July 4, 1889, when Civil War veterans answered a statewide call for recognition of their wartime service and to register for pensions. The gathering, then on Court Square, led to annual veterans’ reunions, starting the popular patriotic event then called Old Soldiers Reunion. The Catawba County Museum of History – which is located in the downtown 1924 courthouse – displays a patriotic exhibit of historic military displays all week and is free to the public. Events around town include a Classic Car Show on Courthouse Square on Sunday, outdoor concerts with street dances on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday, a ‘patriotic’ baby parade, and a “Pet Mania” dog show. Then on Thursday, Reunion Day, downtown surrounding the 1924 circa courthouse, craft vendors, artists, craftsmen and food trucks line up around the square. A memorial service is held at 10 a.m. honoring veterans & members of patriotic organizations in the county who have died during the past year is followed by a Jazz concert and a fish fry at the American Legion for the counties veterans….then the fun begins! 4:00 p.m. marks the start of the mile-long parade around town, which gets bigger every year (last time I went it was over an hour and a half long). 8,000 – 10,000 people show up for the parade and if that wasn’t enough, afterward, there’s a seniors dance and more music. The week is finished with the (29th annual) Southern Biscuit Soldiers Reunion … Keep Reading!
