The Chronicles of California Continues with
Delfina's Gold
(Coming in 2009)

With a weak Mexican government now in control of California, traders flock to her shores from New England in pursuit of cattle hides and tallow. Russian sea otter hunters eye the land covetously from their base in northern California and Englishmen from Hudson Bay grow bold in search of furs. When American mountain men crossing the Sierra Nevada Mountains are added to the mix, California is up for grabs.

Cayatu and Josefa must adjust to the ways of the foreigners while holding on to their own traditions. Courted by the sons of wealthy rancheros and the greedy newcomers, Delfina must look to her future while trying to deny her past. Aware her suitors will stop at nothing to strip the land she loves so dearly of its natural wealth, Delfina must protect Cañon de Corral, her inherited land grant, sprawling along the Pacific coast near Santa Barbara, from the men who pursue her. Only one man loves the land as Delfina does. He loves her, too, but struggles with his own demons.

When historic figures Thomas O. Larkin, Augustus Sutter and Major John Charles Frèmont enter the story the stage is set for a showdown of epic proportion. Don't miss Delfina's Gold, book 2 of the Chronicles of California, available soon on line and at your favorite book dealer.
