Kicking Off the Hang 'em High Hoedown!

Welcome to my Hang ‘em High Hoedown, a two-week countdown to the release of my third Secret Sisters novel, Hang ‘em High. Ida Mae, Tansy, and Arlette are at it again, this time solving a mystery on a dude ranch in Montana. This case promises to be Ida Mae’s toughest yet as her family loyalty is tested and her ability to wear blue jeans is called into question.

You are invited to participate in this hoedown by visiting my blog every single day from August 1^st to August 13^th to learn about great prizes donated by awesome sponsors. All the prizes will in some way be related to horses, because Hang 'Em High takes place on a dude ranch. Follow the trail from start to finish, enter all the contests, and be entered for the grand prize at the end—a free copy of each of the books in the Secret Sisters Series: Secret Sisters, Dearly Departed, and Hang ‘Em High.

And then on August 13^th, come on down to Pioneer Book in Orem for a rootin’-tootin’ good time at the Hang ‘em High book launch and August Authorama. Keith Fisher, world champion Dutch oven cook, will be serving up cobbler, and I’ll be joined by authors Nichole Giles, Heather Justesen, Cindy Hogan, and J. Lloyd Morgan. There will be balloons, face painting, and games for the kids. There will be books upon books for the adults. There will be door prizes. There will be madness, mayhem, mirth, and merriness. So! Come back Monday and be prepared for two whole weeks of prize-winning, blog-visiting, clue-gathering, question-answering fun.
