A native New Mexican, I've always enjoyed living in the west.  My new western romance, The Price Of Pride is set in the beautiful Sange de Cristo Mountains north of Santa Fe.  My husband and I have traveled many miles on horseback through these mountains, and I recommend you visit my website for a link designed to explore New Mexico.  Horses have been a major part of my life and have inspired me to include one or two special animals in each of my books.  After all, what's a cowboy without his horse?  Mine are pictured on my website.
