For generations, the
struggle between good and evil has been the backbone of many a Western tale,
film or novel. This struggle was
compounded by religious belief, as honor, integrity and morality faced off
against anarchy and sins of the flesh. It seems highly unlikely that the reality of the old West was as simple as ‘good
guys’ and ‘bad guys’, but more a case of human endeavor to better itself in a
harsh and often hostile environment.
Through it all, the underlying belief that justice and law and order
would eventually triumph, never wavered.
The mid-West of the 1870’s-1880’s underwent the transition from lawlessness to law-abiding much quicker than some of the outlying regions. I’d like to think it was helped along by small town sheriffs like Weston in my September release, A BRIDE FOR WESTON. I’d also like to know what my relatives were involved with in generations past to warrant the name ‘Lawless’.
The Sheriff’s Mail Order Bride series launches in August. You can check out the entire series here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097HK95X9
You can pre-order A BRIDE FOR WESTON here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B097QF2YZC
If you have previously read
my Proxy Bride book, A BRIDE FOR SHANE, you’ll meet up with Shane and Lacey
again, and find out what’s been happening in Ridgemont that the new Sheriff has his
hands full. But you needn’t read Shane
first to enjoy Weston and all the books in the series.
Till next month,
Kathleen
Kathleen
Lawless blames a misspent youth watching Rawhide, Maverick and Bonanza for her
fascination with cowboys, which doesn’t stop her from creating a wide variety
of interests and occupations for her many alpha male heroes.
Her hero,
Steele, in HER UNDERCOVER COWBOY, is a modern-day cowboy, so when she was wooed
by a man called Steel— while he’s not a cowboy, he is an alpha male and her
forever hero. Which is why all of her
stories end Happily Ever After.

I would enjoy stepping back in time to experience 'life', but I don't think I'd want to stay there. I really need my electricity and running water, but as authors, it is always fun to make the 'bad guy' the hero in a story.
Julie, I feel the same way, it would be fun to drop in for a visit to the past, not so much fun to be there.
This is an exciting series, Kathleen, and I can't wait to read Weston's story!
