Hello everyone!!  I’m Sarah Cass.

I’m really excited to join this edition of Book Brew!  I’ve had a weakness for westerns and the cowboy for many years.  I think it started with my love of Little House (the books, not the TV show), and as I grew up, got bolstered more by Dr. Quinn.  Now in my adult years I’m a sucker for Deadwood and Hell on Wheels – and have been known to hone in on the TV whent he hubs watches Wyatt Earp.

As you can tell, I love the historical westerns.  It was dirty, and not anything as vanilla as Dr. Quinn, and not all together nice, but I still love it.

It’s something about the simpler time for me.  When the Law of the Land ruled in a world where many states hadn’t even been formed.  There’s a romanticism to it, even though it was a hard (and often very harsh) life.

It wasn’t until Dr. Quinn that my interest in the other aspect of Westerns developed.  Sure, I loved the cowboys, and the brothel owners, and the pioneers…but I had only given a passing thought to the Indians.  I credit DQMW for bringing my fascination for the world (and plight) of the Native Americans to the forefront of my conscious again…after a brief flirtation thank to the book Last of the Mohicans, DQMW told even more stories.

It’s thanks to those two inspirations in my life that I created Masked Hearts.

From Cowboys to Indians – there is always  a story to tell about the old west…and that’s why I love living there so often in my stories.

What about you?  Do you prefer the old west?  Or do you prefer the modern westerns and the rodeo cowboys?

Blurb:

Minnie Woodward lives a lie. After barely surviving the Bear River Massacre she’s lived in the white world of her guardian Mister Rawlins, her life debt keeping her tied there. The last thing she needs is Roy’s attempts to gain her favor. Her fate’s sealed. She’s never believed in hope, and not even Roy can make her start.

Roy Ornum saves Minnie every night in the traveling Wild West show. The job he took to break his gambling habit brought him a new addiction ““ her. He knows she doesn’t want to be rescued, but maybe he does. She’s the key to a past he lost, one he wants to find again.

As the two grow closer old wounds are reopened and their burgeoning trust is shattered. When lives hang in the balance of their choices they’ll need to work together. Otherwise everything will be lost before hope can be found.
