Author Spotlight: Elsa Winckler Is Back with More Cowboys!
I always love having fellow Tule author Elsa Winckler on the blog. She’s always a delight and her stories are full of wonder and love and spunky heroines and hot heroes. Elsa has been reading love stories for as long as she can remember and when she ‘met’ the classic authors like Jane Austen, Elizabeth Gaskell, Henry James, the Brontë sisters, etc. during her Honors studies, she was hooked for life. Although her three gown-up children rarely acknowledge the fact they have a romance-writing mom, her husband fortunately, is very proud of her, reads every word and is happy to make sure she gets the kissing scenes just right. She…

Author Spotlight: Welcome, Thriller Author R. John Dingle
What a pleasure it is to to introduce y’all to debut thriller author, R. John Dingle! He’s a brand new Tule Mystery writer and we’re all so delighted to welcome him to the Tule family. R.

The psychological thriller, Karma Never Sleeps, is John’s first novel.…

Her whole family lives nearby, including her two grown sons, who are inspirations for the “cool” things young people say.
