    Author

    Maxine Douglas

    Maxine Douglas first began writing in the early 1970s while in high school. She took every creative writing course offered at the time and focused her energy for many years after that on poetry.  It wasn't until a dear friend's sister revealed she was about to become a published author that jumpstarted Maxine into getting the ball rolling; she finished her first manuscript in a month. Maxine and her late husband moved to Oklahoma in 2010 from Wisconsin. Since then Maxine has rekindled her childhood love of westerns. She has a son, two granddaughters, a great-granddaughter, and a domestic grey tabby named Simon. And many friends she now considers her Oklahoma family. One of the things Maxine has learned over the years is that you can never stop dreaming and reaching for the stars. Sooner or later you touch one and it'll bring you more happiness than you can ever imagine. Maxine feels lucky and blessed, that over the past several years she's been able to reach out and touch the stars--and she's still reaching. Maxine loves to hear from her readers. So, come on by and say "Hello"; Maxine would love to hear from you.

      CONTENTS

      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      A word is not the same with one writer as with another.

      One tears it from his guts.

      The other pulls it out of his overcoat pocket.

      ~~ Charles Peguy ~~

      AN AUTHOR IS SOMETIMES alone in her world, trying to sort things out. Once in a while, she will re-enter the here and now to call upon her fellow authors, friends, and family, hoping that maybe, just maybe, they’ll have a notion where she’s been or where she’s going.

      My friend and fellow romance author, Callie Hutton... Without her encouragement and handholding, I never would have ventured out on this journey. Thank you, Callie, for never being too busy to answer my hundreds...make that thousands...of questions.

      Julie Skerven, whose critiques are always right on track, thank you for your insight and work—most of all for your friendship.

      My best-friend in life, my husband, never wavers in his support as I pursue a writing career. He’s always here to give me an honest opinion—whether I agree with it or not.

      And thank you to readers, like you, who make me want to bring you into my many worlds and hopefully give you a few moments in someone else’s shoes.

      NASHVILLE RISING STAR

      BORN INTO THE NASHVILLE music scene, things hadn’t come easily for the youngest son of Will Sheridan and younger brother to James Sheridan. For most of his life, Utah Sheridan had lived in and chafed under the shadow of his famous father. He played in his father’s band instead of his own. He grew up in the public eye and in what some considered social advantages, never knowing whether people liked him for himself, to get closer to his father, or for his own healthy bank account.

      In the next few minutes, he’d step
