Accouncing My New Historical Novel - Della's Destiny

 After three years in the works, my new book is finally finished and will be up on Amazon.com next week. I am thrilled to have it finally finished and I hope everyone who reads it finds an enjoyable story. 

The year is 1904. The setting is Jerome, Arizona Territory. Della McCrea and her parents arrive in Jerome when the mines are producing copper ore worth millions and some of the roughest characters in the west.

Della is in for the ride of her life when she is orphaned. Gambling and prostitution are part of everyday life. Saloons, gambling dens and brothels thrived. Without funds she is going to have to figure out a way to earn enough for a train ticket home to Ohio. Only seventeen years old, her choices are few. 

As her troubles mount, the question becomes, can she escape Jerome without her character being sullied and to what length she will go to achieve that end?
