Not everything in life can be explained or planned. Sometimes the unexpected take people places they never intended to go. In Tucson Moon as Priscilla is looking for answers to the unexplained, Cord has only problems and he is going to have more. Tucson Moon is about love, family relationships, the desert, and Arizona Territory in 1886-87 with main characters who carry over from "Arizona Sunset". Marshall Cord O' Brian and Priscilla Wesley disliked each other in the first book. Martin Matthews seemed mostly weak but he had since continued to make choices that carried him deeper into decadence. He blames others for whatever has gone wrong in his life. Exploring how our characters evolved was part of my interest in writing this story. Cord has never trusted the outlaw, Sam, that Priscilla's friend Abbey married (ran off with), in-spite of or maybe because of the great similarities in the two men. Bad choices at the 'wishing well', bad timing in natural events and finding your own path play major roles in the joys and miseries of the characters all around.

It happened at the Pendleton Roundup 1974. Bronc and bull rider Bill Stempleton knew just what he wanted and how to get it. He needed to win his events long enough to buy the ranch of his dreams. He knew that is right up until he met the right woman at the wrong time. Sara had no idea what she wanted until a tall cowboy showed her some intriguing possibilities. He was like a wild wind blowing into her calm, ordered world and uprooting everything she thought she knew. Action, danger, drama, passion, and excitement are ahead when the rodeo comes to town. After this week, some lives will never be the same. 85,321 words-
