I finished my upcoming book, Montana Matrimonial News.  North Star Press of Saint Cloud Minnesota will release it fall of 2025. I’m encouraged by the comments of beta readers: “I hated to put it down; It kept me glued to the page; evocative and captivating; and your best work yet.”

Montana Matrimonial News was inspired by a blog about newspapers in the 19th century dedicated to personal ads, similar to online dating today. Homesteaders were stuck on their claims in the middle of nowhere, and unable to find wives. Thus the Montana Matrimonial News and other newspapers brought men and women together. Michael Zimmer, a fellow Western Writer of America writer and author of The Poacher’s Daughter, wrote the blog. Look him up. His books are wonderful and I really enjoy his newsletter.
