I love the history we garner from the books and the trials and tribulations our ancestors went thru. I dont think I could have done what those brave and strong women had to do to survive. I never really thought how hard it had to be for them as women and restricted in every area of their life. We have it so different today. We can do anything we want and be anything we want to be.Bebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10966431864801400370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-2060175271918572062016-02-05T15:28:38.979-08:002016-02-05T15:28:38.979-08:00Hi Amy--

I, too, love curling up with an historical romance and 'escaping'. I call it "hiding in fiction". =) Like most authors, I write what I genuinely want to read. And the 19th century Old West calls to me more than any other. I thoroughly enjoy the setting and magic and challenges of the era. Like you, I'm all about books (instead of movies).<br />Happy reading!<br />KristinKristin Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998253281628770747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-19050657470434163022016-02-05T15:25:43.474-08:002016-02-05T15:25:43.474-08:00Hi Doris/Angela--

My heroine, Naomi, finds Evanston, Wyoming Territory, 1888 to be a perfect fit for her. She's finally welcome, finally accepted, and finally feels at home.

These women traveled agreed to adventure and hoped for the best. I think that is what is so inspiring. They all hoped for something more, often leaving the worst of circumstances. I really enjoy curling up with a historical romance and 'escaping.' For me a book is better than a movie. And a good book will leave me thinking and retelling the story in my head to digest it.

In my research on the doctors in Colorado, women didn't have it as bad. They were licensed just the same as men, with no issues, in 1881 when the licensing began. I know it was different in other parts of the nation, so your heroine had a right to be frightened. This sounds like a great story, in fact the whole anthology sounds wonderful. Continued success to you. Your stories are wonderful.
