I’m so pleased to stop by Sweethearts of the West as a guest today.
Looking for a spooky and romantic read this October? Check out these two historical western
romance novellas with a paranormal twist.
~~**~~**~~
I. The Crow and the Coyote |
In Arizona Territory, Hannah Dobbin travels through Cañon de Chelly, home to the Navajo, in search of a sorcerer who murdered her pa. Only when she retrieves the silver cross taken from her father's corpse will she be able to free her pa's spirit, and allow him to be at peace.
Bounty hunter Jack Boggs—known as Crow—is on the trail of a vile Mexican bandito when he discovers Hannah and her companion, a superstitious old Navajo woman. He knows he must protect them, but with the shadows of Hallowtide descending, more dark magic is at hand than
any of them know.
~*~Available at Amazon and in Kindle Unlimited~*~
~~*~~*~~
Bounty hunter Callum Boggs—sometimes called
Crow—arrives in the mining town of Silverton on a cold October day in search of a man who has
committed unspeakable crimes. Skilled in the technique of dream scouting, Crow has narrowed
the location of the criminal to Silas Ravine. No normal man would dare to venture into this
region, where so many gruesome and unexplained murders have taken place—a piece of land forever
haunted where Death still walks. But Crow is no normal man...
Jennie Livingstone knows her papa is in trouble. When none of the local men will come to her
aid, she must accept a newly-arrived stranger—a half-Comanche bounty hunter—as her only
ally. As they head into the mountains to track Jennie’s father, she can hear more than the
whispers of man. The mines carry spirits, and her only hope in navigating the living and the dead lies with the Crow.
But is Jennie prepared for the consequences of where her fate with Callum Boggs may lead? And is she the woman who can hold fast to the Crow’s heart after all his years alone? Bewitched by the beautiful young woman, Callum must do everything he can to stay one step ahead of the spirits that can’t rest—just to keep Jennie and himself alive.

As a child, Kristy McCaffrey frequently narrated to herself.
It soon became apparent that she had an affinity for this writing thing. Raised
on a steady diet of sci-fi/fantasy and tales of King Arthur, she transferred
this love of mythic storytelling to penning western romances once she decided,
at long last, to pay attention to her natural inclinations. Educated as an
engineer, she swiftly gave that up to be a stay-at-home mom and aspiring
author. She and her husband live in the Arizona desert, where their four
children are in varying stages of flying the nest. Kristy believes life should
be lived with curiosity, compassion, and gratitude, and one should never be far
from the enthusiasm of a dog. She also likes sleeping-in, eating Mexican food,
and doing yoga at home in her pajamas.

These stories all sound so exciting and I like the paranormal elements you've put in them with the Halloween season now under way.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best, Kristy.
Thank you, Sarah.
DeleteOoh, these sound great. Is corpse powder really a thing or something you made up?
ReplyDeleteI've come across references to corpse powder in my research and ran with the idea in my story.

The Crow and the Coyote story line would make a great plot for a movie!

DeleteKristy, these stories sound like fun reads. Canyon de Chelly is such a great setting. I hope to visit there sometimes next year since it plays an important role in several of my books.
ReplyDeleteDear Lyn,
DeleteHow great! I'll have to check out your stories!!
Oooh, Kirsty, I got frightened just reading the blurbs. ☺ The books do sound really good. I'll just have to be sure to read them in the daytime.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Caroline!
DeleteThese stories sound intriguing, Kristy, and I like that you have the main character, Crow, in both novellas. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheri!
DeleteKristy, you know how much I loved these stories! I always enjoy your writing because you add a twist each and every time, and so it's with anticipation that I open the book to the first page, wondering what awaits. I'm never disappointed!
