A Long Time Ago in a Saloon Far, Far Away... by Nicole McCaffrey

I grew up watching John Wayne movies and old western TV shows with my Grandma—Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Maverick, Wagon Train and many others that I probably cannot recall.  But I loved cowboys.  They were always the good guys, always the ones who saved the day.
 
As I got older, I devoured every historical romance I could find that featured cowboys, bounty hunters, native American heroes and even those heroes who walked a thin line on the right side of the law.  I was hooked on the Old West. There was no denying the appeal of a man with a fast horse, a fast gun-- and a heroine to vex and challenge him.
 
Odd as it may sound, I remember being heavily influenced by the original Star Wars movie.  Han Solo was the ultimate bad boy space cowboy, and that cantina scene with Luke Skywalker and Obi Wan just spoke to me—even before I heard George Lucas say it was based on the old west. When I first decided to write western historical romance, those influences definitely played a role in the characters and situations taking shape in  my mind. 
 
My first historical western, Wild Texas Wind, was released in 2010 and I have never looked back.  Life has thrown some curveballs my way that have kept me from being as productive as I’d have liked, but this year has finally allowed me to put those cowgirl boots on and once again get back on the horse.

Blurb:

Eliza Jane O'Hanlan is called west to care for her ailing mother.  Raised by a spinster aunt, she only knows that her mother is a successful businesswoman.  When she arrives in Wylder, she is shocked to learn her mother is the town madam. But the secrets don't end there…
 
Doctor Sam "Coyote" Sullivan saw enough suffering and dying in the war to last a lifetime.  He is more than happy to help the town madam keep her girls free of disease—and worse.  The moment she arrives in town, the madam's daughter makes it clear she doesn't approve of her mother's unconventional methods—or him.
 
Before long, Eliza doesn't just have the town of Wylder in a stir.  She has Coyote pretty stirred up, too.

Author Bio:
 
For as long as she can remember, award winning author Nicole McCaffrey has heard voices in her head.  Fortunately, they're just characters wanting to tell her their stories.
 
Whether it’s short stories, poems or adventures for friends, she has been writing pretty much since she was old enough to pick up a pencil.  While she has written contemporary romance and light fantasy, historical romance has always been her first love. She is a firm believer that every romance story should feature Love, Laughter and Adventure.
​
She has been married for over 25 years and together she and her husband have raised two amazing sons. They share their home with two spoiled kitty cats and an equally spoiled rescue pup.  She enjoys gardening, and cooking, especially Italian food, but Nicole is happiest when writing, reading or buried nose deep in research for the next book.
