Happy Birthday, Corral Nocturne!

If you are a fan of fairy tales, if you are a fan of Westerns, if you are a fan of Elisabeth G. Foley, then you will be wanting to read Corral Nocturne. Earlier this autumn, I was given the privilege of reading and reviewing this charming novella. My review was posted on The Inkpen Authoress and stated that Foley is nothing but consistent. She knows her stuff and does it well. Today is the day Corral Nocturne becomes available for purchase. Buy it, read it, love it. After all, it's the perfect cozy-day read. :)


Life on her brother’s ranch is lonely for Ellie Strickland. Ed’s ungracious manners and tight-fisted habits keep visitors away and his mother and sister close to home. But when Cole Newcomb, son of the wealthiest rancher in the county, meets Ellie by chance, he is struck by an unexpected impulse to rescue her from her solitude—and Ellie’s lonely summer is transformed.

When Cole asks her to go with him to the Fourth of July dance, Ellie is determined that nothing, from an old dress to Ed’s sour temper, will stand in her way. By the time the Fourth of July fireworks go off at midnight, will they herald only more heartache, or maybe—just maybe—a dream come true?
