The Dark Skies Over Autumn

Three years have passed since we were introduced to the raven - haired Shayleen O'Malley, the handsome Sheriff with the emerald eyes Chance McCord, and the soft spoken mountain man Trace Cooper. Shayleen now Mrs. Trace Cooper is settled in the life of a rancher's wife and mother of four youngsters. This second in the series brings the characters back again and takes us on a journey of joy, happiness, sadness and loss. With each loss Shayleen finds the strength to carry on .Her faith and love for all those who are dear to her are only equaled by her love for this land she loves so, much and the promise she made her father. The story is filled with history, romance, native legend and some interesting twists that will lead into the third book and the end of the series.

Louise Riveiro -Mitchell started writing in her teens. Growing up in the 60's she became fond of westerns and one could find her sitting on a chair watching whatever western was on. The Virginian, The Tall, Laramie, Wagon Train, Laredo etc. She started to pick up their vernacular and at times people find it hard to believe she's from New York. She write her first book in 2001 and if it wasn't for her late husband's insistence it would never have lead to others and two poetry books. She has also ghostwritten over 37 historical westerns. Not only does she love the genre she finds that era in our history interesting. She lives in Westchester County New York and have two children and three grandchildren. And still watches those westerns from years ago.
