Emer: Clover Springs Mail Order Brides

by Rachel Wesson

  The ladies from Pioneer Hearts who volunteered to proofread my book. Special thanks go to Nancy Cowan, Marlene Larsen, Cindy Nipper, Shirl Deems, Marilyn Cortellini, Meisje Arcuri and Denise Cervantes who all spotted errors (mine) that had slipped through.

  Kirsten Osborne, Cassie Hayes and the incredible group of people who make up Pioneer Hearts, a Facebook group for authors and readers of Historical Western Romance. Come join us for games, prizes, exclusive content, and first looks at the latest releases of your favorite historical western authors. https://www.facebook.com/groups/pioneerhearts/

  Last, but by no means least, huge thanks and love to my three children. My kids know when Mom is in the middle of a book dinner may be late, burnt or, as is often the case, both. Clothes may be hard to find and the house may look like it was burgled.

  About the Author

  Hi, I’m Rachel. I’m Irish, living in Dublin with my three children, two boys and a girl.

  I love to read. As I tell my kids, it is the easiest way to escape into a whole different world. You can go to absolutely any country, century or world you wish without leaving home. My mom used to tell me that she would regularly have to take away a flashlight when I was younger so that I would go to sleep on a school night.

  My mom also used to say that if we were going on holidays, the first thing in my suitcase were my books. That was a long time before e-book readers!

  I read a lot of books and absolutely love anything set in the old West. When I was a child, I loved to watch Little House on the Prairie. Nellie Oleson was my favorite character. I also admit to watching Dr. Quinn—Medicine Woman lol.

  I love when readers make contact with me either via Facebook or through my website. I am flattered when they make suggestions on topics I should cover in future books. Without my readers, I wouldn’t be living my dream. Thank you.
