Hens Lay Eggs

food for thought

Angels High: A woman who makes her living by winning at a man’s game learns to expect trouble, especially when the stakes are high. But when trouble finds her this time, Angelica Durant gets more than she bargained for.

Coming Home
: Life is hard. No one knows this better than Dessie Humphrey who’s trying to hold onto the family farm. When aid comes in the form of a wanted gunslinger, she’s in no position to refuse.


The Escort
: Buck hires on as an armed escort to accompany a rancher’s haughty daughter and her companion to Boston for her debut into polite society. Both young women are lovely, but the young companion catches Buck’s eye and warms his heart. He thinks he’s too old and jaded for this innocent girl; but, when danger strikes, he’ll risk his life for her.


Hair Trigger
: A female gunslinger returns to her hometown to claim her inheritance and get justice for her father’s wrongful death, but crashes into a statute of limitations.


Heart of Gold
: A dying man begs an honest cowboy to take a fortune in gold through a lawless territory with Indians on the warpath. He didn’t reckon on becoming responsible for keeping the man’s daughter safe along the way. 


The Lesser of Evils
: Cast from the native tribe that adopted her and the only home she’s ever known to make her way in the white man’s world, Sun Gold finds herself faced with a language barrier and a choice she never wanted. 


The Mail Order Bride’s Choice
: Looking to improve her circumstances, an indigent woman travels across the country as a mail order bride to meet a fiancé who has plans for her other than marriage. 


Pride and Peace
: It’s an open secret on the Lazy Five that Jessie North is a woman, but that doesn’t stop Daniel Harper from reacting badly when he learns about it. Can he overcome his prejudice when the proud half-breed saves his life? 


Resurrection
: Undertakers bury the dead; they don’t resurrect bodies left for dead. But that’s exactly what Antonio DiCarlo does when a lovely Swedish immigrant lands on his doorstep. 


The Rancher’s First Love
: When a gravely wounded Chinese woman collapses on Clint Cheswick’s front porch, he doesn’t expect to compete with his half-breed foreman for her affection. 


The Saint
: A wounded outlaw throws himself upon the mercy of a Mexican priest. His demand for sanctuary gains him more than just temporary safety. 


​Survival of the Fairest
: A woman kills her abusive husband and flees, heading west to restart her life under an assumed name.

I really enjoyed writing them, as well as hopping outside my usual genre.

Holly, I'll bet this collection is as good as Satin Boots! The blurbs sound great.

Looks like a fantastic collection of stories.


Sorry I'm replying so late my a little bit busy Wednesday suddenly went crazy busy.

No worries. Sometimes I don't get to reviewing blog hop participants until Friday.

I love the Western theme with the feisty heroines.

I've been in a bit of a creative slump recently, so I'll probably start cobbling together some more short stories. Probably westerns, as they're a good deal of fun.
