All the "Honky Tonk Hearts" Novellas Combined in Two Boxed Sets

Early in 2011, The Wild Rose Press announced a new series: Honky Tonk Hearts. These novellas had to have at least one pivotal moment happen in The Lonesome Steer Honky Tonk, along Route 66, outside Amarillo, Texas. Descriptions of the building were given, inside and out, as well as 3 minor characters. One of the minor characters, Gus Rankin owner of the saloon, considered himself a matchmaker. He even had Polaroid pictures of the couples he'd brought together on the wall of his small, shabby office.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE IDEA APPEALED TO ME.


IT APPEALED TO SEVERAL OTHER WRITERS TOO.

My problem was I'd never written "short." Could a wordy soul like me develop a good story in half the word count of a full-length book? Oh boy, I had a lot to learn. Mainly, I learned to make every word count and to get to the action from the get-go. I ended up writing two stories for the series--Those Violet Eyes and Back Where You Belong.

Today, you no longer have to buy each story separately because all the novellas are available in TWO BOXED SETS for your enjoyment. Think about it...cowboys, country singers, current and ex-military personnel, strong women, the Texas two-step, bull-fighters and love Texan style.
