Melissa's book
Sometimes a single choice
alters the course of a person's life
forever.
Left behind by everyone she loves...
Rebecca Garvey had the promise of a California future dreams are made of, until the wagon train her family was traveling with left her behind. Now she’s slowly dying in the wilderness, abandoned and stripped of her self-worth. Once the shock of her desertion turns to embittered despair, she doesn’t want to be found. Then a handsome stranger challenges her convictions and changes her mind.
Headed for Texas, chased by the demons of his past...
Seth Emerson knows exactly what he wants. Working to save for a cattle ranch of his own keeps him busy and keeps his pain buried. Rescuing a stubborn woman from the hills of New Mexico Territory isn’t part of his plan—but she’s exactly what he needs.
Making greater sacrifices than either of them could foresee...
Seth and Rebecca set off on a risky journey and a quest for truth, each healing the other’s love-starved soul along the way. Will they give in to their growing attraction? Or will they honor their commitments when Seth returns Rebecca to civilization... and her betrothed?

I have to make a special effort to visit your site, since you were one of the first victims of my ongoing Feedburner problem. But your site is worth the extra effort.
DeleteThanks, Ken, I downloaded, tweeted, and Facebooked. By the way, I used your previous advice about letting the characters mention inconsistencies when I found one in a book I edited yesterday. Well, at least I told the author to do it. It's always the author's call. It was a character inconsistency, not as bad as a plot hole.
ReplyDeleteThere's so many things to worry about when writing a book. It's a never-ending process of learning.
