Meet two new characters of Juniper Falls
The schoolteacher and the boarding house matron
As we get ready to launch this new historical women’s fiction series, Juniper Falls, I have so many things I want to share with you. I'm bringing on a watercolor artist and a map designer and while I haven't seen their finished work, I am very excited about all of us establishing this new (fictional) frontier town together. There are plans for multiple spin-off series and I truly cannot wait.
One of the things that is different in this series, versus my earlier books, is that we will have four point of view characters.
Today, let's talk about the other two women who will be prominent in the first three books.
Lillian Frye is the schoolteacher in Juniper Falls. When her husband wanted a fresh start and to start his hardware store, they moved west with Lilian's younger sister for the opportunities the frontier provides. Once settled in their new life, however, Lillian finds that not everything is going to plan.
Edith Bennett has run a boarding house in Juniper Falls for about ten years. When the McBrides arrive to run the only hotel in town, she has to choose between supporting the newcomers and shunning her competition.
Together, all of these women find themselves and their roles in the frontier town of Juniper Falls, Wyoming Territory.

Lillian's husband and sister also appear very briefly in the men's action novel Hawke's Revenge.
