Last autumn, I was approached by a friend to be part of a project I just couldn't turn down. It involved Annie Oakley and her amazing legacy, a gun that traveled through generations, and my pals from Petticoats & Pistols.
Together, we've created a new series that is woven together by a one-of-a-kind pink-handled pistol originally gifted to Annie Oakley. The pistol comes with a legend, one promising that whoever possesses it will find true love. Annie passes the gun on to one of her students and sets the whimsical journey in motion that starts with In Her Sights by Karen Witemeyer.
The books release every ten days, beginning with Karen's story on March 30.
In Her Sights
1893 – Caldwell, Texas
Tessa James secretly loves Jackson Spivey, but trying to gain his favor only pushes him away. Since Jackson’s life revolves around guns, Tessa decides to take up shooting. Seeking lessons from famed markswoman Annie Oakley provides more than technique instruction, however. Tessa comes away with a pistol that will change the course of her life forever.

My contribution to the series is Love on Target. It's book 2 and it will release on Monday, April 10.
Love on Target
1894 – Holiday, Oregon
A pistol, a mule, and a promised mining job lure Rena Burke to Oregon. She might wear trousers and work with men, but Rena secretly longs to be appreciated as a woman. Too bad the man she admires believes her to be a dangerous influence on his young daughter.

We've also put together magazines that give a tip of the head to the old western magazines from the thirties and forties.
The first two magazines have been released and are filled with author interviews, recipes, games, original short stories, and excerpts from the books.
These magazines are completely free and we hope you'll enjoy them!
I love the idea. Can't wait to read them all!
