After six years, I can finally say that the ROMANCE ON THE RANCH Series is complete, and although there were enough characters for me to continue writing indefinitely, I knew it was time for a final roundup -- the "Circle of Life" was complete. As in real life, the stories contain heartache and struggle, adversity and challenge, often met with despair and frustration by the heroes/heroines. Yet, the encouragement and help received from family, friends, and even strangers, give them the courage to forge onward. There are twists and turns, betrayals and disappointments, yet unexpected moments of forgiveness, and hopefully humor, over a span of about thirty years.
Since individual stories were released as ebooks, I decided to create paperback collections. A few years ago I released the first three books as a collection, but with the completion of the series, I wanted to make all the stories available in tangible form. To that end, there are two additional paperbacks now available, each with five books. On a special note, I want to thank the readers of this series and give a shout out to those who left reviews and/or emailed comments, suggestions, and sometimes criticism. Constructive criticism is a wonderful learning tool. Finally, here is shortlist of the Cast of Characters because there are too many for an all inclusive list. For a synopsis of each story, click here. Sage Tanner: Gorgeous hunky model living near Paxtonville, Colorado, trying to keep his ranch afloat. Sarah Carter a.k.a.

I loved all ten books in the romance on the ranch series, but i was wondering if you will give dixie and alligator their own book. I know in some of the books a little bit was mentioned but not the whole story.

I've considered writing their story, but other projects have kept me occupied. Maybe I should revisit the series and make it a short story. Thank you for your comment.
