Question 1

Can I get your e-books for Nook, Kobo, and iBooks?

Accepted Answer

Most of my e-books are currently exclusive to Amazon. The free Kindle app is available for most phones and tablets. If you have a newer Nook HD, the Kindle app is available through Google Play.   Download the Kindle app from your app store onto your smartphone or tablet. Open the app and connect it to your Amazon account (the same one you use to shop for everything else). Important—you can only buy books through the online retail store, not through the app. After you buy the book on the online store, open your app and the book will appear. You only have to download the app once, and then you can read to your heart's content!   The paperback books (trade) are available everywhere. Large print editions are also available, and hardcovers (great for collectors) will be rolled out during 2022.   Effective 2022, e-books will be available on all major online retailers during the pre-order period and for 7-30 days after the release. The length of time will depend on the book.

Question 2

Do the series books need to be read in order?

Accepted Answer

Every book can be read as a stand-alone novel or short story. However, most readers find that reading the series books in order is more enjoyable.    In the Montana Gallagher series, books 1-3 act as more of a trilogy with a continuing sub-plot that resolves in book 3. The rest of the series books mention or feature characters from the previous books, but the plot of each book is complete.   The British Agent books are completely stand-alone, without a continuing storyline, though main characters from each book are featured in the other stories.   The Crooked Creek short stories and novelettes are stand-alone. Novels in the series will also be stand-alone, but will feature characters from the first four stories.   The Whitcomb Springs short stories and novelettes are each stand-alone.

Question 3

Will there be more Montana Gallagher books?

Accepted Answer

The series will continue for as long as the characters want to keep sharing their stories with me. As of Dec 2021, there are 8 books in the Gallagher series and book 9 will be written in 2022 with an as-yet-unknown release date. Updates on works-in-progress are shared in The Writing Room.

Question 4

Will there be more Crooked Creek books?

Accepted Answer

Beyond The Women of Crooked Creek collection of four short works of fiction, the first full-length novel will release late 2022. After that, at least one more additional installment is planned. Updates on works-in-progress are shared in The Writing Room.   I do not like to say "never" or "no more" when it comes to a series because I cannot always forsee when a new idea for that series will make itself known.

Question 5

What are you working on next?

Accepted Answer

Details, when available, about what I'm working on and what is coming next, can be found in The Writing Room.

Question 6

What genres do you write?

Accepted Answer

Primarily historical romantic fiction (western and Victorian). My favorite historical settings are the Rocky Mountains and the British Isles.   In 2021, I added historical western cozy mystery to the genre list, and have plans to add Scottish and dual-timeline novels in the future.   I also write contemporary fiction under McKenna Grey.

Unforgettable adventure. Undeniable romance.
