Wendy the Super Librarian's review of The Angel and the Outlaw by Kathryn Albright
Historical western romance released by Harlequin Historical 01 Dec 2007
As a fan of American-settings and western romances, I've often wondered why authors/publishers don't use the state of California more often. It really is a locale that offers a wealth of possibilities - from the gold rush, to the mountains, to the coast-line, to the desert, to large cities, to the middle of nowhere - California in the 19th century was a fascinating place. This was the main reason why I was so drawn to Kathryn Albright's debut. She sets this story near San Diego, along the southern California coast line, and gives the troubled hero the job of maintaining the local lighthouse.

by Thank you Sybil for having me on TGTBTU spotlight. I love to talk writing and especially about historicals so this is a treat.
My next book, The Rebel and the Lady, takes place during Texas’ fight for freedom from Mexico. What is it about times of war that lend itself to storytelling? So many stories are written around battles. Recent movies that come to mind are 300, Saving Private Ryan, Troy, and Kingdom of Heaven (all great historical movies BTW

This just makes me sqqquueee so much because I don't think I have ever seen a Texas Revolution setting in anything other than James Michener's Texas and those wonderful books I had to read for Texas History in college. Yes, I had to take Texas History in college, to be a history teacher in Texas, you have to take Texas History. Anyway, one of the few interesting parts of Texas history is the revolution. And isn't that cover beautiful?
