Here&#8217;s Regina:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>one of the strongest ladies I\u2019ve ever written<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maddie O\u2019Rourke, the heroine for my January release, <i>Instant Frontier Family<\/i>, is one of the strongest ladies I\u2019ve ever written in 30 odd books. She has to be. You see, although Maddie is a fictional character, she is one of Mercer\u2019s Belles, real-life women who overcame great odds to settle the Northwest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>oo many widows and orphans<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Right after the Civil War, the East Coast had too many widows and orphans, while the West Coast miners, loggers, and farmers were seriously lacking in ladies. An enterprising young man named Asa Mercer, who was the first president of the University of Washington, had a daring idea\u2014why not bring those ladies to Seattle? In two trips, he escorted nearly 80 women to what was then Washington Territory.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mercer had accepted money<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many of them had no intention of marrying. They\u2019d left sorrow and economic hardships behind, called by the lure of jobs and independence on the far frontier. In fact, none were aware until well into their trip that Mercer had accepted money from certain men to secure them brides. The ladies refused the men who came to claim them, determined to forge their own paths. In the end, though, all but one eventually chose husbands. Their children went on to be statesmen, artists, and teachers, helping to make the new territory a state.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maddie O\u2019Rourke is a typical Mercer Girl. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She and her father escaped the Potato Famine in Ireland to settle in New York, where Mr. O\u2019Rourke married again. Though Maddie is 16 years older than her two half-siblings, she loves them dearly. When her father and stepmother are killed in a tenement fire, Maddie steps in to raise Ciara and Aiden, but it quickly becomes apparent that she hasn\u2019t the means to care for them. So when she hears about Asa Mercer\u2019s promises that anyone can make a fortune in Seattle, she leaves the children with a friend and ventures into the unknown. Maddie\u2019s cooking skills allow her to open one of the first bakeries in Seattle and begin to make a life for herself. Finally, with money saved for their passage and a lady to escort them, Maddie sends for Ciara and Aiden. And then the trouble begins.&#8221;&#8211;Regina<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/scott-instantfrontierfamily-web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7101\" src=\"http:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/scott-instantfrontierfamily-web-647x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Instant Frontier Family\" width=\"640\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/scott-instantfrontierfamily-web-647x1024.jpg 647w, https:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/scott-instantfrontierfamily-web-190x300.jpg 190w, https:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/scott-instantfrontierfamily-web-980x1550.jpg 980w, https:\/\/booksbylyncote.com\/SWBS\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/scott-instantfrontierfamily-web.jpg 1675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>To purchase, click here. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0111QRN4M\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0111QRN4M&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=lyco-20&amp;linkId=HSEBNBOYGXQEGHCU\" rel=\"nofollow\">Instant Frontier Family (Frontier Bachelors)<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=lyco-20&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B0111QRN4M\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Blurb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maddie O&#8217;Rourke&#8217;s orphaned half brother and half sister have arrived safely in Seattle, with a man they hope she&#8217;ll wed!
