MISSAdventure BRIDES Series Intro

I'm suspending Tuesday Tidbits for November and December to run a series on a new novella collection I'm in, The MISSAdventure Brides Collection.

First, in November, I’ll host each of the authors in this collection as they talk about the heroines in their stories, while my posts about the hero, setting, history, inspiration, take-away, and antagonist in my story, “ZOLA’S CROSS-COUNTRY ADVENTURE”, will be feature on each of the other collection authors’ blogs or social media. Then in December, I’ll post the one about my story here on my blog.

Here is an overview of the collection and links to the other authors.

Love Is One of Life’s Greatest Adventures
Seven daring damsels don’t let the norms of their eras hold them back. Along the way these women attract the attention of men who admire their bravery and determination, but will they let love grow out of the adventures?

THE NOVELLAS:

Zola’s Cross-Country Adventure by Mary Davis, 1904 cross-country trip

Detours of the Heart by Donna Schlachter, 1925 New Mexico
