What happens when a woman falls in love with a man she discovers could be as conniving as the mother who left her and her father high and dry?
That was a bit of the premise for Savannah, the first book of my new Silver Dollar Saloon series.
The other thing I wanted to showcase in the series was the differences between saloons. There were several types in the west. Some were buildings with four walls who made their “rot gut” in the back room out of anything they could find - Turpentine, kerosene, colored camphine, and fuel oil.
Some would take one barrel of whiskey and add enough other stuff to make three barrels. Others would take creek water and add tartaric, citric, and sulfuric acids, ammonia, black bone meal, gun powder, molasses, oak bark, oatmeal, cayenne pepper, tobacco, snake root, nitre, juniper berries, creosote, and turpentine to make something called “grains of paradise”. It was hot, acrid, and bitter.
Some saloons also had saloon girls who made the owner even more money by taking the men upstairs.
The Silver Dollar Saloon is a high-class saloon. It’s where railroad men, cowboys, salesmen, and the locals who like good whiskey go. There are saloon gals, but they are only for looking at and listening to them sing. The proprietor, Savannah’s brother, doesn’t allow men to touch them and he puts the women all up in a boarding house across the alley from the saloon.
Reading Savannah, the first book in the series, you’ll learn about the saloon, Beau Gentry, the owner, and all the ladies of the Silver Dollar Saloon.
SAVANNAH
Silver Dollar Saloon series
Escaping a past full of deceit and larceny, Savannah Gentry goes in search of her only kin, a half-brother she discovered after her father’s death. She hopes Shady Gulch in the Dakota Territory can give her a future. There she stumbles into the arms of Reverend Larkin Webster, finds herself working in the Silver Dollar Saloon, and soon fears she’s gone from the frying pan into the fire.
After dodging death and incarceration, the Topeka Kid decides to turn his life around and takes on a new identity. Reverend Larkin Webster. It works, until he finds a temptation he can’t resist and steals the heart of Savannah Gentry. When her past collides with his, he wonders if this theft could end up with him losing everything, including his life.
