Celebrate with me! TEXAS STORM, the third book in my Texas Time Travel
trilogy is now released for readers. Although I have a difficult time choosing,
I admit this is my favorite of the trilogy. The heroine makes TEXAS STORM
perfect for Memorial Weekend release.
You see, Jeannie Luttrell is a WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilot)
ferrying planes from factories to air bases or from one base to another. WASPs
freed up male pilots for combat. This doesn’t mean they had an easy job. They
learned to fly 67 different types of planes. Of the over 25,000 women who
applied, 1,830 were accepted into the program and 1,074 graduated. These WASPs
flew a combined 60,000,000 miles ferrying planes. Thirty-eight of them lost
their lives serving their country, yet they were not military and received no
benefits. For more information, see my post at
http://sweetheartsofthewest.blogspot.com for May 26-27, 2018.
I'm giving away an e-book set of the trilogy to one person who comments today!
Here’s the TEXAS STORM blurb:
Jeannie Luttrell’s passion in life is piloting airplanes. She doesn’t
mind the low pay, long hours, or the fact that as a World War II Women’s Airforce
Service Pilot (WASP) she has to pay her own expenses. A faulty oil pressure
line causes her P-51 Mustang’s engine to fail and she has to bail out during a
storm. When she lands the wind drags her across the ground and into a small
ravine where her head strikes a rock.
When Caleb Knight sees a person struggling with a parachute on his
cousin’s ranch, he knows what has happed. Another woman has landed in the small
part of a ravine that appears to be a time portal from the past. Twice before a
woman has come forward in time at this spot. He stops and takes the stranded
pilot to his cousin’s home but then he plans to be uninvolved. Darned if he’ll let
the family rope him into their shenanigans.
No matter how hard he tries, Caleb can’t avoid Jeannie. Soon, he isn’t
so certain he wants to. But, how can two strong-willed individuals who view the
world differently build a relationship? Especially, now that they have the same
enemy plotting against them?
TEXAS STORM Excerpt (the first night Jeannie is in her apartment and
Caleb is visiting briefly):
Jeannie said, “Show me where you live.”
“Okay, follow me.” He walked to the living room
windows. “See that large house shape with one downstairs light on?”
“I’m not sure in the dark. Is it the one with the
outdoor light?”
He pulled her in front of him and reached around her
to point. “Yep. Straight ahead and one house to the right.”
She inhaled his scent. His breath tickled her neck and
increased awareness of him, as if she needed anything to make her more sensitive
to his masculinity and presence.
“I-I see it now.”
“Good. Then two houses left is Margaret’s yellow house.”
She turned and stepped away before she threw herself
at him. “I love Terry Springs. In my opinion, the town is the perfect size.”
“You think so?”
“Sure, don’t you? Have a seat. Would you like some
coffee?”
He sat on the couch. “No, thanks, I’m still stuffed.”
Now she couldn’t think of anything to say. Her mind
was still on him standing so near. “Ellie chose the colors for the walls but I
like them. They’re soothing. What do you think?”
“I guess so. Aren’t you going to sit down?”
She sat at the other end of the couch. “You’ve always
lived in Terry Springs so maybe you don’t like it as much as a newcomer.”
“I went away to college but you’re right, I’ve always
lived here.” He lifted one shoulder in a shrug. “I like it just fine. Most of
the time, I even like working at the bank.”
She curled her legs under her. “Everyone in town
appears to respect you. They do all of the Knights, in fact.”
“Jeannie, relax.”
She tried to affect an innocent expression when her
heart was pounding. “I am relaxed. In fact, Mr. Knight, I’m having a very nice
evening.”
That appeared to please him. “Good, so am I.”

Reviews on the Texas Time Travel Trilogy:
The 26th is the anniversary of my father’s death several
years ago. He encouraged me first to read and then to write. Reading was one of
his pleasures until he lost his eyesight. I’m sure he’s pleased to look down
and see that I’ve chosen to remember him this weekend with a book release.
Thanks to each of you who reads my books. I love writing and need readers
to continue. I hope you will give the trilogy a try. If you enjoy the books,
please leave a review. If not, skip the review and email me to let me know why
you didn’t like the book/books for my reference in writing future books.
In
fact, I’m always happy to hear from readers!
