A young girl loses herself in the green forest of virgins. A woman imagines an affair, but lacks the courage to pursue her beloved. Lost boys fall from stars, from tears, from bridges. They go missing in the breezes of time, and never return. Lovers are left waiting, brides are left wanting. Children leave for new worlds, some imagined, some real. Whispered thoughts seep into the hush of dawn. Girls, girls, why do you hate me so? Boys, boys, why do you tempt me so? Hearts falter. Breath stops. And, Yet, Love flows forever in a short time. Rich diction, haunting symbolism, and colorful imagery abound in this debut collection. Bittersweet and evocative, The Midnight Hour's Muse shares a sensual exploration of the nuances of affection, womanhood, and obsession through a compelling array of short tales and poems in prose.

This book focuses on 50 of the most important entertainers in the history of country music, from its beginnings in the folk music of early America through the 1970s. Divided into five distinct categories, it discusses the pioneers who brought mountain music to mass audiences; cowboys and radio stars who spread country music countrywide; honky-tonk and bluegrass musicians who differentiated country music during the 1940s; the major contributions that female artists made to the genre; and the modern country sound which dominated the genre from the late 1950s to the mid-1980s. Each entry includes a brief biography of the chosen artist with special emphasis on experiences which influenced their musical careers. Covered musicians include Fiddlin' John Carson, Riley Puckett, Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, Bob Wills, Bill Monroe, Hank Williams, Sr., Dale Evans, June Carter Cash, Loretta Lynn, Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard.

A cowboy and a single mom. No strings. No commitments. No problem… Until it is. A fling with a sexy cowboy? Sure, why not? Besides, it’s not like he's a total stranger. Dylan Scott is the friend of a friend, and as a self-proclaimed player, he's perfect for me to break my five-year dry spell with. Especially since he’s made it quite clear that a relationship of any kind is totally off the table. When my little holiday at his ranch is over, we are, too. Fine by me. I'm a widowed single mom. The last thing I have time for is a brooding, self-important billionaire cowboy, even if he does make my body come alive in ways I never thought possible beyond the pages of a romance novel. A lifetime of following the rules and being the good girl has left me with nothing but secrets and hidden desires that I've managed to keep from everyone. Trust me, it's safer that way. But I was not counting on having any actual feelings for Dylan, at least none beyond the passion fueled physical. And when I do, dammit if things don't start to get complicated—fast. And it doesn’t take long for the safe—and boring—bubble I’ve created for my life to become anything but. And now, for the first time in my life, the only thing to do is face the truth. No matter how much it hurts.
