Earlier this year, I was lucky enough to become involved in an unprecedented author event where 45 authors got together to write a mail-order bride story connected to each US state. The collaboration and support from all the authors have been phenomenal.
Today is release day for Libbie: Bride of Arizona, book #48 in American Mail-Order Brides series.
I had so much fun writing this story of a woman who has been raised in Australia and South Africa with brief visits to Boston—all related to her father’s business pursuits. Libbie is tomboyish and pampered and has three older brothers. So when she’s sent to a woman’s academy in Boston because her mother decides the time has come to learn feminine etiquette, Libbie struggles to discover how she fits in. Then tragedy strikes and she’s forced to answer an ad in the Groom’s Gazette and become a mail-order bride.
BLURB
Alone for the first time, tomboyish Libbie Van Eycken accepts a mail-order proposal and travels across country to find a place to call her own. Arizona rancher Dell Stirling needs a wife but didn’t count on the eccentric creature that brings chaos in her wake.

Marissa, internet has come back so I can say thanks for posting on my release day.
What a fascinating concept for a book series. Are you from Arizona or did each author choose his/her state? Best of luck with this one. Looks like an excellent read.
Linda,
Not from AZ but I did travel to Prescott in November for research. We chose our states–some because they had existing series set in that state and others because they lived there. Thanks for commenting
Wow, fabulous cover! A few of my other author friends are part of this series, and I love the idea. Congrats, Linda!
Alicia, I have loved the collaborative effort and hope your friends did too.
