Did you wonder where Merlin went after Morgana froze him in a crystal?  Well, he showed up in Idaho Territory.  The year was 1885 but no one recognized him because, um, he'd turned into a mule!

From Diana Coyle, Night Owl Romance reviewer:

Ms. Rogers has outdone herself yet again by penning a fun and wacky story that makes you laugh out loud while you’re turning the pages.,. Whenever I read her stories I always strap myself in and prepare to take a fun and wild ride through one of her written adventures.

* Saddle up for another fun story from Jacquie Rogers. * BookwormForever

* I've loved Jacquie Rogers' stories since I read Down Home Ever Lovin' Mule Blues and she hasn't disappointed me yet. This is another hit.
Willow is funny and sweet.* A. Chambers

Overview:

• A high society debutante seeking solace as an herb farmer in the Old West.
• A high stakes gambler hired to retrieve said debutante for her unscrupulous suitor.
• A money-hungry, status-seeking ex-fiancé doesn't get the "ex" part.
• And Merlin, King Arthur's powerful sorcerer, re-emerges as a mule to fulfill his own destiny.

Idaho Territory: 1885

Willow escaped Boston and is now a content herb farmer, but she's lonely. When making a frivolous wish upon a star, she dreams a man who became her heart's desire. One day, as she was weeding, that very man rides up on a mule! But he's not the man of her dreams--instead, he's been hired to hand her over to the one man she despises--her ex-fiancé. How could Willow's wish go so awry?

RTW Christmas Book Party: Kit Prate

by Kit Prate

First published in 1979, Kit Prate admits she enjoys fiction in general. Westerns are her first love, her favorite books to read and to write. Ms. Prate enjoys writing fan-fiction, especially about the TV western series, Lancer.

The widowed mother of four children who are grown and mostly on their own these days, Kit is returning to her love of writing. A background of working with the Bureau of Indian Affairs provides fodder for her healthy imagination and gave her a chance to travel to many of the locations she uses in her stories and novels.

RTW: Thanks for coming to the RTW Christmas Book Party, Kit! Please tell us what's special about Feliz Navidad and why you wrote a Christmas story.

KP: It seemed important to tell a story which included some of the elements of the first Christmas -- a journey, a baby, seeking shelter, gifts, and love.

RTW: Would you please give us a set up for the excerpt from Feliz Navidad?

KP: The death of a boy, a craving for vengeance, and two special women change Gabriel Hawkins' life forever. Will his reputation as El Angel de la Muerte--The Angel of Death--mean his own death as Christmas draws near?

And here's an excerpt from Feliz Navidad:

She heard the knocking, genuinely surprised someone would be at her door so late in the evening. Instinctively, she took the Henry rifle from its place next to the oak portal. Trouble was a rarity in this part of the country anymore, but a woman alone needed to be prudent. Hand on the latch, she called out the usual "¿Quién es?" (Who is it?)

She received a one word reply.

"Delilah?"

He fell forward when she opened the door; tilting himself sideways, his arms clutched against his chest.

She caught him, and eased him to the floor. And then she heard the baby cry.

Feliz Navidad is available at Amazon, Smashwords, and Barnes & Noble.

Thank you, Kit!
