Steam Trains

Prairie Dog Central Railway, Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 1999

​Back in 1999, the family and I took a lovely trip on the Prairie Dog Central Railway on the northwest edge of Winnipeg, Manitoba. Over the years I looked at the photos I took that day for research purposes, but never thought of showing them until I decided to write a post celebrating the release of Barbour's The Rails to Love Romance Collection.

To see more train photos, check out my post, Love Those Steam Locomotives.

My good friend and Inky blog mate, Susanne Dietze, has a novella, Honeymoon Express, in this collection and in celebration is giving away one copy on her post. Deadline is 11:59 pm EDT Sept 24, so there's still time to enter.

I've held off announcing my big news although you may have figured it out by the hints I've been dropping on social media...
 
I sold a novella to Barbour Publishing Inc.!

It's part of The American Heiress Brides Collection and will be released January 2017.

A couple weeks ago, I gave a sneak preview of the cover to my newsletter subscribers.

If you'd like to subscribe to my newsletter and hear my news first, as well as be entered for special subscriber contests, click here. 

I am so excited to be a part of the Barbour Publishing family. Squeeeeeeeeeee...​

Steeplechase Ride, Steeplechase Park, Coney Island, NY, undated postcard

​I'm over at Heroes, Heroines and History today with a fun post called Hang on for Steeplechase Rides where I'm showing images and video of what it was like 100 yrs ago as well as a similar modern version of this coaster-like ride.

And because Austen in Austin Volume Two releases on Sept 15th and is available for pre-order now, I'm giving away a copy of Volume One - but you have to comment on my Steeplechase post over at HHH before Sunday, Sept 11th to get in on the draw.

Between the 2 volumes, Austen in Austen contains a total of 8 novellas, all inspired by the heroines of Jane Austen's novels and set in historical Austin, Texas.
