Time-Travel with Me!

I have 3 new time travel reissues with HOT new covers. I hope you enjoy them. ALMOST AN ANGEL coming shortly.

A MOMENT IN TIME





A bad hair day? Or the adventure of a lifetime…? Abandoned in a Rocky Mountain cabin, hairdresser Jackie Clarke wonders if a bad hair day can get any worse after smooth-talking lover Blade makes off with her car, her cash and her dignity. Her answer comes when a blizzard strands her in a ghost town, then a blazing inferno and a lewd painting thrust her back to 1891, where she is mistaken for famous saloon singer, Lolita Belle. Cole Morrison is a single father and reluctant gold-miner-turned-kidnapper. Desperation forces him into the battle between warring mining town saloons over Lolita Belle. Why does anyone want that sassy redhead anyway? She can't carry a tune, but Lolita-who-calls-herself-Jackie may be the answer to all his dreams…. Is Jackie still having a bad hair day…? Or is this miner with a heart of gold the spa treatment of a lifetime…?

New Release!


ALWAYS 
by Deb Stover
Contemporary Novel of Romantic Fiction

Available for download now at Amazon for Kindle:

"Erotically charged and emotionally heartwarming..." 
~ RT BOOK REVIEWS

Dr. Dolittle meets Northern Exposure....

Gordon closed the door behind her and walked woodenly to the bed.
He wanted to forgive Taylor. Desperately. But he couldn't trust
her. If he allowed himself to trust her, she'd have the power to
hurt him. No matter what, he couldn't give her that power ever
again.

The floor creaked just beyond Gordon's door, and he held his
breath as the doorknob turned. His heart thundered and he wanted
desperately to call out to her.

Slowly, the door opened, and Taylor stood framed by firelight.

"Dear God." His gaze drifted down the length of her, savoring
every inch of bare leg. His body sprang to life even as his mouth
formed the words, "Taylor, don't..."

"I've been lying awake, and I can't stop remembering." She padded
barefoot to his bed. "Look at me, Gordon."

He raised his lashes and met her gaze. Something bright and hot
and dangerous burned in her eyes. "Do you know..."

She put her knee on his bed and cupped his cheek with one hand,
then brought her other knee onto his bed and framed his face with
both hands. "I only know this," she whispered, leaning closer to
cover his mouth with hers.

Gordon held his breath as she pulled him closer, stroking his
lips with her tongue until he growled and wrapped his arms around
her to tug her down on top of him. 

He should hate her. He should fight this.

He couldn't.

Reviews for Another Dawn!


"Only a very talented writer can take a man sentenced to death and turn him into the kind of hero who is not only appealing, but one a reader can actually feel sympathy for. Deb Stover certainly manages to pull off such a hero, and with panache, in Another Dawn. This is an engaging read right from the start. There is emotion, sensuality, action, and intrigue. It packs a powerful anti-death-penalty message, but does so without the sermon. If you like your romance on the intense side with very real-to-life characters, then this may be the book for you."
~Rebecca Ekmark, All About Romance 

"Deb Stover is an original and her time travel romances are unique, clever, intelligent, intriguing and romantic. ANOTHER DAWN is a thinking woman's paranormal romance with twists and turns, thought-provoking ideas and just the right balance of romance and time travel..." ~Kathe Robin RT Book Reviews, Top Pick and Nominated for a Reviewer's Choice Award!

"WOW!! ANOTHER DAWN is STUNNING! I wish I'd thought of it first." ~Maggie Shayne, best-selling author

"ANOTHER DAWN is a fantastic time travel romance that keeps the reader hopping and hoping for Luke and Sofie. Hot and spirited Ms. Stover does it again by opening the new year with what will be recognized as one of the top tales that will leave many other authors scampering to safer plots."  Five Stars!! ~Harriet Klausner, Affaire de Coeur
  
"Powerful, touching, and truly unique to the genre.  You haven't read time travel until you've read Deb Stover!"  ~Kristina Wright, The Literary Times

"Genius...  Five Stars!" ~Jim Trent, About.com

"Deb Stover has a dynamite book here, the best thing she's written yet. It's wonderful, it's practically flawless, and I'm truly in awe. I knew it when I first set eyes on it." ~Karen Harbaugh, award-winning author 

"The time-travel genre belongs to Deb Stover! Nobody does it better! I couldn't put this book down." ~Maggie Osborne, best-selling author

"Another Dawn is gripping and wonderful." JoAnn Ross, New York Times best-selling author 

"The intensity of Luke and Sofie's love, and the strength of their passion, transcends the bounds of Time itself. Their love was meant to be, and nothing can keep them apart, not in this time or in any other. The last two chapters, when their fate catches up to them at last, brought tears to my eyes." ~CompuServe

"Ms. Stover can, and does, make history and romance come forward or backward, and delivers an outstanding story of courage, faith, and timeless love. Fantastic! 5 Bells!!!" ~Donita Lawrence, Bell, Book and Candle

"The incredible Deb Stover has done it again. A man with no future. A woman with no past. A chance for love in a town called Redemption. This book will make you laugh out loud, and cry...and want to pick it up and  read it all over again. I loved this book, I loved the honorable, lovable and oh so wounded Luke and the feisty strong and so very wonderful Sofie. This book gets my vote for best book of the year!!" ~Terrie Figueroa, Romance Reviews Today

Remember, from 12:01 AM until Midnight on Friday, October 26th, 2012 only, download a free copy of Another Dawn for Amazon Kindle.

Waldo Canyon Fire



This time lapse explains what I have been pre-occupied with the past week, as my home is in the pre-evacuation area, NW of the US Air Force Academy.  The fire is now 25% contained, but still a threat to our area.  347 homes have been destroyed, and two lives lost thus far.  Firefighters are the best kind of hero.  Bless them all.

Easter Memory

My late husband, Dave, and I  purchased a house in a rural subdivision called Woodmoor, adjacent to Monument, Colorado in 1995--the same year my first novel (SHADES OF ROSE) was released.  It used to always snow on Easter here in the days before Climate Change.  Typically, March and April are our snowiest months, but not this year!  That's another topic for another post....

This would have been Easter 1996.  Our son, Ben, was 6, Bonnie 9, and Barbi 13-14.  As usual, it snowed (a lot) on Easter Sunday.  Dave loved to hide the eggs, and we had 1.25 acres of old growth pine forest.  I reminded him to leave some of them out in places easy for Bonnie to find.  Even though older than Ben, she was smaller and has Down Syndrome.  As it turned out, he didn't have to that year.  :)

Because the snow was deep and still falling, we left the baskets inside and gave the kids plastic grocery bags to use for their hunt.  I don't recall Barbi participating.  I think she already considered herself "too old" for such activity, but not for the chocolate bunny, of course.  We had no  idea that young Ben's bag had a hole in the corner just big enough for those real and plastic eggs filled with goodies to slip right through....

In typical fashion, he darted around our wooded lot from tree to tree, finding all the loot in record time.  Bonnie plodded along in her pink snow suit behind her brother, bending over every few steps and picking up what fell through the hole in his bag.  Each time she did, she said, "Thank you, Ben."  I'm sure she repeated this motion and statement at least twenty times before they finished.  When both children came to us with their bags, Bonnie's was full and Ben's had one little egg that hadn't slipped through the hole.  He looked devastated.  We showed him the hole and Bonnie said, "Thank you, Ben" again.  Then she gave him the bag after removing one plastic egg.

I really wish I  had a video of this Easter morning--especially of their dad laughing so hard there were tears streaming down his face.  We were all laughing, of course, except Ben and Bonnie.  Both these children have hearts of gold, just like their dad.  They shared the candy, and all was well.

Have a wonderful day, however you spend it.  I hope you share it with someone you love.  Ben and Bonnie are both here with me to have dinner.  And even at 25, Bonnie hasn't outgrown the joy of dying Easter eggs, though now I devil them instead of hiding them.  :)  Look whose name she put on one of those eggs....

Happy reading.

Love,
Deb

No Place For A Lady

No  Place For A Lady is back in print--digitally speaking.  This book is available on Amazon now, and will show up at iBooks, Barnes & Noble, etc. as well.  Check my website for those links.  This book is a historical romance set in 1888 Colorado, in what is now Rocky Mountain National Park.  The research was a lot of fun.  :)  There is still an excerpt at my website here, along with the original cover, which is still my favorite.

Happy reading!

Not unusual for January in Colorado at 7,436 feet.  We're due more with blowing, so I poked my head out the door and snapped a few iPhone photos before it starts again.

BOOK GROUPIE: Colorado's Stover and Randall | authors, Colorado, Stover - Life - Colorado Springs Gazette, CO

Reports of my move to Oklahoma in this wonderful column are more than 5 years late. I returned to Colorado in July 2005, where I have remained since. My family was only in Oklahoma for a few, very unhappy, months at the end of my late husband's battle with cancer. He and I planned our return to Colorado together. He asked me to bring his ashes home, so he could spend eternity in the Rockies. So we did, and we're still here. My current bio is here.

I absolutely adore what Anita Miller has to say about A Matter of Trust and The Gift, though. Thank you, Anita!

You'll find a link to Anita Miller's blog at the end of her column. It's a must-read for readers and writers. Enjoy!

Snow!!!!



I don't think my deck looks like a good place for a BBQ right now!

It's been snowing non-stop since yesterday morning, and it's still snowing. I don't know what the official tally is up here, but I think we're into FEET at this point. It's going to take some serious digging to get me out of here for booksignings.

Good excuse to curl up with a good book. I've received a few sighting reports for The Gift. Happy reading!

Spring

It's finally, finally, finally spring here at 7,436 feet above sea level. We've had a lot of rain the past week, and a couple of nights when the temperature dipped into the upper 30s, so snow was still a possibility. But we dodged that bullet. This time... I have known it to snow here on the Fourth of July, so the threat is always there, though it's rare, thank goodness.

Summers at high altitude are glorious. In a perfect world, I would have a winter home in Portland or Seattle, because I adore cool, rainy winters, and a summer home right here. It gets quite hot in the Pacific NW, believe it or not. A lot of people believe it rains there all year round, but it's really only during the winter months.

To view some marvelous local photography of the mountains, wildlife, and the changing seasons, click on the slideshow show in the right-hand column. My gentleman friend, Martin Yaslowitz, is a very talented photographer, as you can see.

In fact, this weekend he's taking the first "official" baby portraits of our beautiful Bella. I'll be sure to post those soon. Meanwhile, here's another one taken with my Blackberry.



Happy reading and writing (and gardening!!!!).

~Deb
