My fascination for the wild west began in my teens. I live in southern UK, parts of which are very bucolic, which makes my passion a tad bemusing.

I was initially influenced by TV westerns during the sixties and seventies, and as an adult I began to don fringed buckskin and weapons, and eventually my soulmate hubby and I joined wild west living history camps under our aliases Kitty Le Roy, prospector and adventurer, and JC (Doc Jack Coltrane).

But it was the lack of decent female role models in those TV westerns, much less the fastest gun, that inspired my need to write about a female protagonist who's role followed that of a conventional western hero. The idea became very exciting and I love it. It's the story I wanted to read, and it became a trilogy.

Alias Jeannie Delaney can best be described as raw and gripping, judging by the number of readers on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited who steam through it like a railroad train, but some humour adds a little texture to the narrative.

The story follows devastating and charismatic cowgirl Jeannie Morgan's life. She's a tomboy-beautiful, pants-wearing maverick who's the fastest gun in the west and a magnificent lover to both men and women. She flicks a finger of contempt at society in the latter half of the nineteenth century. This is her journey to find her true self on the wild frontier throughout deadly confrontations and personal tragedies. Will she find happiness, or will her tomboy beauty, her powerful persona and her lethal gun finally be the death of her? Read the series and find out!
