She’s searching for a place to belong. He’s haunted by the horrors of war. When danger threatens everything they hold dear, they must trust in God’s plan to find their way home.

Sasha Di Carlo has spent her life in her famous actress mother’s shadow, longing for family and roots. When she learns she has an uncle in Indian Territory, she seizes the chance for a new beginning. Upon arriving at her uncle’s ranch, she finds herself drawn to his quiet carpenter, Jim Conners, even as she struggles to embrace her Creek heritage.

Jim Conners came to Indian Territory hoping to escape the nightmares of his time in the Spanish-American War. Working for kind-hearted Dewey Hummingbird has helped heal his spirit, but Dewey’s beautiful niece stirs long-buried feelings. Just as his discovery of his own Native American ancestry offers the opportunity to build a bridge between them, corrupt oil companies target Dewey’s land. As Sasha and Jim work to protect their loved ones and help struggling oil field widows, they discover that true wealth lies not in riches, but in faith, family, and the courage to love.

Author Interview

• What is your favorite genre of books? Wester historical fiction is my favorite. Why?

I grew up watching scores of cowboy shows with my dad, and I became a fan of them.

• Are you a one project at a time author or do you have multiple projects going at once?

Definitely one at a time. I’m afraid I’d mix things up if I did more than one project at a time.

• How has your life experience helped in your writing journey?

When I was young, I had a passion for horses. Over several years, my parents bought me three horses.  I didn’t know then but that time spent with my horses was preparing me to be a western writer. The knowledge I learned about handling horse and about hose tack was invaluable.

• What is the funniest thing to happen in the process of writing one of your books?
  We often had some good laughs in my critique group. They had a good chuckle that my horses was tiptoeing during a suspenseful scene. I agree that was pushing things, although I did read the very same thing in a novel recently by a crazy popular Christian fiction author.
• How do you relax after a long day of writing?

I read, play some games on my phone, work in my craft room or garden.

• Where do you find your greatest inspiration?

My greatest inspiration comes from God. He’s the one who gave me a curious mind and the ability to make up stories that make sense to readers.

• Who is your favorite author? Karen Witemeyer Why?

If you’ve read one of her books, you’d know. Her books are always exciting and have strong characters and super interesting plots.

• Do you have extensive outlines when writing or do you write a book as you go?

I have skeleton outlines with just the most important plot info and character descriptions.

• Do you remember the first book you read?

No, I really don’t. What sort of impact did it make on you? Not much, since I can’t remember it. 😊 As a kid, I devoured books with horses on the front cover.

• What do you need in your writing space to help you stay focused?

Quiet. My recliner and my laptop, a cup of water, and the occasional piece of chocolate. That’s about it.
