Can the wishing well work its magic and bring her home safely?
Will a wish made at the town well during a full moon ever be answered?
GUEST POST
Hi
My name is Susan
Horsnell and my latest release is Western Wishes, a Sweet Western Romance set
around a wishing well.
I would like to
talk about how I keep my writing a little different…
Writing for me
is a passion, it will never be something I have to do. I don’t set deadlines or
word counts. I write from the heart and my stories are as many words as they
need to be. Once twice edited and proof read, and polished to be the best I can
make it, I publish my story.
I write from
experience which is why I have different sub-genres of romance. My Australian
books include description of places I have lived or spent time visiting. The
Flying Doctor Series comes from spending hours bugging the poor service to
death and visiting numerous centres around the country. My books about
blindness, one on a Vietnam Vet and medical incidents, come from my varied
nursing experiences.
My experiences
are varied as I am married to a Senior Naval Officer, we have been posted all
over Australia and spent 3 ½ years posted in Papua New Guinea (future stories
including Witch Doctor Practice and Voodoo witnessed firsthand.) We have had
the fortune to travel extensively in Texas which is where most of my westerns
are set.
I am now retired after 37 years of Nursing, hubby is semi-retired.
We moved to our home in a small rural village of 300 people in the mountains of
sunny Queensland Australia just on 10 years ago. I love the peace and quiet and
clean air.
For those
aspiring writers – follow your heart, don’t let anyone stomp on your dreams and
don’t be afraid to reach out for help and advice. I wish you every success.
Thank you for
allowing me to be here and I hope you enjoy my book.
Sue
EXCERPT
Max
My eyes were drawn to the
sway of her shapely hips as Abigail stomped off to the kitchen. I wondered what
I’d said to upset her; there was no doubt that I had. I’d known the woman long
enough to know when she was unhappy about something. The change in her eyes
when I’d mentioned Mildred had been noticeable – at least to me. Anger and
jealousy had both clouded her gorgeous amber orbs. But why?
Abigail and I had known each
other since she’d started school, her and Rowan had become instant friends and
spent most of their free time together. The two girls had been stuck to each
other like bees to molasses and were always under my feet out at the ranch. It
saddened me to watch as their friendship became distanced through no fault of
their own.
Since Abigail’s father had
died, her visits to the ranch had come to a stop. Every waking hour seemed to
be spent helping her mother in the diner and she was left with no time for
social activities. I understood the fact she was needed by her mother, but it
saddened me just the same. A young woman as beautiful as Abigail should have
been out enjoying herself, stepping out with a beau. Heck, she should have been
hitched with little ones by now as I’d told her.
Why did the thought of
Abigail being with a man send bolts of jealousy raging through me? I had no
interest in anything other than friendship with her. Or did I? I swear the
woman tied my thinking in knots.
Saturday nights, when I had
supper at the diner and at church on Sundays were the only times we managed to
speak a few words to each other and I hated the thought I might have upset her.
I resolved to take her aside at church the following day and find out what it
was I’d said wrong.
About the author:
I live in sunny Queensland, Australia and retired after 37 years of Nursing.
My husband of 45 years, together with our elderly Jack Russell Terrier and extremely opinionated 26-year-old Cockatiel, enjoy exploring the country.
When we are at home, we spend our time renovating our home.
I write a variety of stories including Western Historical Romance, Contemporary Romance, Male/Male, Menage and Shapeshifter.
Each book has a strong focus on storyline with romantic interest building throughout.
I explore real-life issues from kids on the streets to motorcycle war and put my own twist on each one.
