Saturday Snippet: The Screech of Metal Against Metal

  

 The following snippet is taken from 

Nathan's Nurse 

Sweethearts of Jubilee Springs Book 19

          The screech of metal against metal, accompanied by sharp jerks of the train, jolted Dahlia awake. Instinctively, she thrust her hand forward to grab the back of the seat in front of her in an effort not to slide out of her seat. Next, as she felt her valise slide backward, she turned and grabbed for it, only to discover it being held in place. She twisted in her seat enough to see Lizett clinging to it. It must have cushioned the woman’s head from being thrown against the hard wood top edge of Dahlia’s and Kate’s bench back. As if in a daze, her eyes blinking, Lizett, her stylish hat askew on her head and strands of hair escaping her pins, forced her body back into her seat as she released Dahlia’s valise.

          Dahlia pulled the valise into her lap and turned to see how Kate fared. Although the coal stove had been allowed to cool, she knew the metal would still be hot to the touch and could burn her friend if she had been thrown against it.

          Kate, her eyes wide with fright and her hands clinging to the blanket that had slipped off of Dahlia’s lap, slouched on the bench and braced her body with feet widely planted on the floor.

          Wishing to ask Kate if she was all right, Dahlia opened to her mouth to shout above the cacophony of panicked cries and the shriek of the metal wheels against the rails, only to be thrown forward as the passenger coach came to an abrupt halt.

I have three books which deal with different details and viewpoints of the train wreck in my hypothetical town of Jubilee Springs that took place in December 1881. The first two, Two Sisters and the Christmas Groom and Nathan's Nurse were published in 2019. The third book, Kate's Railroad Chef, will be published January 2021.

I will have a cover reveal for Kate's Railroad Chef on Monday, December 28th, plus I will have a book link for preorders available at that time. 

If you helped provide feedback earlier this month on either the Whispers of Wyoming Christmas Extravaganza or the Inspirational Reads and Authors 12 Days of Christmas events, I thank you. I also want to warn you--what I eventually decided upon for the cover might surprise you. (Your input really helped.)

Saturday Snippet: Do You Like Buckskin Horses?

  

The following snippet is taken from 

A Shopkeeper for Christmas 

Spinster Mail-Order Brides series, Book 33

 

           Eva tipped her head to the side as she considered. “I doubt they arrived the same night He was born. It probably took them a long time to arrive in Bethlehem. All I know is, they traveled many miles on the backs of camels across a big desert. I’m sure that journey took many weeks—maybe months.”

          “Mrs. Potter has a picture book of the Christmas story. It has camels and everything.” Willie wrinkled his nose. “Camels are funny-looking. I don’t see how those wise men could be very smart if they chose camels instead of horses.”

          Eva choked down a laugh. “Horses are fine animals, Willie. However, they need water more often than camels do. People and animals sometimes have to go long distances in the desert to find water. I’ll bet the Lord put camels there because they are better suited for long desert trips than horses.”

          His eyes narrowed, and his lips pressed together, Willie folded his arms and bounced them against his chest. “I don’t care. I like horses better than camels. In my Christmas story, I want the wise men riding horse—buckskin horses.” He turned to Eva, a question in his gaze. “Do you like buckskin horses?”
