Blog Tour & Book Spotlight: A Lawman’s Christmas by Linda Lael Miller & Giveaway

October 25, 2011 by Darlene

Best selling author Linda Lael Miller is back with her latest book, A Lawman’s Christmas, just in time for the Christmas season!  It’s the latest in The McKettricks series and judging by the reviews people are loving this book.  I always find that books that take place around the Christmas season always seem extra special for some reason.  I haven’t had a chance to read it yet as I am saving it for a little closer to Christmas but A Lawman’s Christmas is touring throughout October and November and you can see what others think of the book over at Book Trib where you’ll find the complete list of blog tour stops on the Best of the West Blog Tour.  I thought it would be nice, as part of the blog tour, to give you the heads up on the book and share with you what it’s about and all that other good stuff!

 

About A Lawman’s Christmas by Linda Lael Miller

“The sudden death of the town marshal leaves Blue River, Texas, without a lawman…and twenty-five-year-old Dara Rose Nolan without a husband. As winter approaches and her meager seamstress income dwindles, she has three options. Yet she won’t give up her two young daughters, refuses to join the fallen women of the Bitter Gulch Saloon and can’t fathom condemning herself to another loveless marriage. Unfortunately she must decide—soon—because there’s a new marshal in town, and she’s living under his roof.

With the heart of a cowboy, Clay McKettrick plans to start a ranch and finally settle down. He isn’t interested in uprooting Dara Rose and her children, but he is interested in giving her protection, friendship—and passion. And when they say “I do” to a marriage of convenience, the temporary lawman’s Christmas wish is to make Dara Rose his permanent wife….”

About Linda Lael Miller (from Linda’s website)

Each morning shortly after the sun rises over Spokane, Washington, New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller pulls on her cowboy boots and heads for the stables for a few quiet moments with her horses before she settles in to write her pages for the day.

As the daughter of a town marshal, Linda has come home to the western lifestyle that gave birth to one of today’s most successful authors. The self-confessed barn goddess left Washington years ago and pursued her wanderlust, living in Arizona and London and traveling the world. Now the author of more than 100 novels, the “First Lady of the West” is glad to be back home, writing contemporary and historical stories that have earned her awards and placements on all the national bestsellers lists.

Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher’s Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Nora Roberts Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.

Linda’s 2011 contemporary Creed Cowboy trilogy—A Creed in Stone Creek, Creed’s Honor and The Creed Legacy, released in March, June and July, respectively—each debuted in the number one position on the New York Times bestseller list.
