I am now taking advance orders for The Quivera Trail, to be delivered by mail  the first week in November, 2013, slightly in advance of the official roll-out at New Braunfels Christmas Market later that month! The information is here – along with a Paypal link!

The Quivera Trail is a sequel to The Adelsverein Trilogyjust as Deep in the Heart and Daughter of Texas were the prelude to it. Order and enjoy, knowing that you will have your copy safe in hand about the time that it will be available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Just a brief note – I am one of the historical fiction writers mentioned in this post, at the Christian Fiction Historical Society! The local historian whom I owe so much to for the background of Daughter of Texas is Victoria Eberle Frenzel, and her book is Gonzales: Hope, Heartbreak, Heroes.

Although I hardly need an excuse – but I have been invited to a meeting of the Fredericksburg Newcomers Book Club on Thursday. The members book o’the month was The Gathering, and so of course I offered to come up and answer questions.
The meeting is on Thursday, at 10:00 in the ground floor conference room of the Chase Bank on East Main, and then I guess we are all going out to lunch.

Yay! Fredericksburg!

Just caught up in real-life work, and trying to work out the best means of posting picture galleries on this website, which turns out to be a leeeeeeetle more complicated than I thought it ought to be. But some picture galleries are posted, so that is all to the good.

Work is progressing on the next book, The Quivera Trail, and I have sent in the contract and fees for a table at the New Braunfels Weinachtsmarkt 2013 to secure the table – Friday and Saturday only, though. I will begin taking advance orders for the Quivera Trail in about mid-October, for books to be delivered in mid-November. I’ll have an announcement up, and an order page.

My daughter, who does origami art, wants us to have a table at the Boerne Marketplace in Boerne in November, so we are working out ways to get that done.

QuiveraTrai; Cover 1The proposed cover for The Quivera Trail, courtesy of my incredibly talented and artistic little brother … who does this sort of thing as a freelance graphic artist and at very reasonable rates.

It is so what I visualized – and of course there will be a credit for the San Antonio Conservation Society, who allowed me to use a photo that I took at the Steves Homestead Museum …

I have to go look at this again – it is so gorgeous!
