Are you ready for some football?
Then you’re ready for…
Kevyn Llewellyn needs a god.
She must have exactly the right model for Darius: Warrior-God of the Gray Planet, or she’ll lose the contract to illustrate the rest of the series. When she sees him—none other than NFL football player Rusty Rivers—she does the absolutely logical thing: she kidnaps him. Or rescues him… it depends on whom you’re asking.
Rusty Rivers is no god.
He’s the kind of guy who’s squandered every opportunity from the Redskins to the Cardinals, while Kevyn’s had to fight for every chance to prove herself as a cover artist for fantasy novels. His struggles have been broadcast across the sports pages, while she keeps hers buried deep. They’re as different as meteor and moonbeam, with nothing apparent in common.
In this doomed, yet enchanted, football season, dare they hope something magical can happen that will last forever?

Once there was a woman who was so desperate to escape, she held a cold-blooded killer at gunpoint and said, “Take me with you.”
That’s all I knew. I didn’t know who she was, what she was escaping from, but I knew her desperation, tasted it, felt it, lived with it until I found her world and her story and a way to tell it.
Before I wrote the Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting Award-winning script “Redemption,” its characters inhabited my soul and my first published novel, What Wild Ecstasy.
No matter how many stories I later told in novels and scripts, the lady and the outlaw, the deputy and the prostitute, the sheriff and the reporter never loosened their grip on me.
These were the people whose passions and pains launched my career in publishing and in screenwriting and whose story would not die.
From Book View Cafe… the book that began my writing journey returns.

You did, indeed, and quite well. Thank you! I think.
your book sounds really interesting. i love historical fiction. what is the setting? i’m always the last to get with new technology so i don’t have an e-reader. is it available in paperback? i did add it to my goodreads “to read” list!
It’s out of print and so now is only available as an ebook, alas. That may change in the future but for now… not so much. It’s set in 1882 in West Texas and New Mexico. Thanks for asking!
Sounds interesting!
My software was blipping and I missed some comments. I’m so sorry to miss yours!
Hi Pooks.
Just stopping by to say hi and glad to see you’re still following your dream.
Laters.

Thank You!
Totally off-topic question here…Are you the Patricia Burroughs who is teaching the ‘Basics of Writing a Novel’ class at Collin County Community College starting in January? I’m thinking of signing up for the Tuesday morning session and would love to have more details about how the class is structured.
Yes, I am. Feel free to email me at planetpooks (at) gmail (dot) com.

You could rock anything in Paisley’s closet!
