Turning Tidbits of History into Unforgettable Stories

My passion is writing Christian historical fiction, suspense, westerns for adults and young adults set in the 1890s and 1920s.


I love everything about the Harvey Girls, the Butcher Boys, the Southwestern Indian Detour Couriers, and Grace Livingston Hill.


When I’m editing fiction for Elk Lake Publishing, Inc., or not writing, I photograph tombstones for Findagrave.com.

A Book of Remembrance:

A Collection of Everyday Miracles

An anthology compiled by Author Lynn Moffett

A Book of Remembrance is a collection of miracles to bring Hope to a world in crisis. Sometimes we experience God's awe-inspiring moments in the midst of the heartbreakingly ordinary, and other times, we’re on the mountain when it moves. Both lead to change in people’s lives and often their concept of God Himself.


My story A Prayer Away  is on page 141.

Looking at Life is a collection of stories written by WCCWN members from all over the country who have lived in Southern Colorado. Experience our adventures and share in our trials and triumphs in these moving, encouraging, humorous and inspiring stories. WCCWN, is a non-denominational writer's group in Pagosa Springs, Colorado dedicated to improving their craft and sharing God's love with the world. Visit their website— http://wolfcreekwriters.com


My stories are The Lindas (page 3) & Mandy’s Solution (page 77).

Lin’s Books

My novella in the California Gold Rush Romance Collection, The Lye Water Bride starts on page 197.

Dry Diggins, California, June 1849


Ask any man in Dry Diggins and he'll tell you Jo Bass is quite a gal. She's got a head for cyphering, an eye for gold, and she's not married.


Twenty-two-year-old Mildred Josephine "Jo" Bass and her brother Thaddeus co-own Pike's Bank and Assay Office.

Backed by their father's bank in New York, they're already a trusted source for accurate assays, secure deposits, and fair gold exchange. The teller cage bars and lye water pail keep the miners at bay. Her .31 caliber pocket model revolver is a deterrent as well.

The Road to Tomorrow

Book 2—Voices in the Desert Series

At the Lamy, New Mexico station, Jace Chambliss hitches a ride in a Southwestern Indian Detour touring car bound for Santa Fe. An unexpected detour brings the cowgirl of his dreams into his life only to have her snatched away when he’s jailed in Santa Fe for murder, counterfeiting, forgery, and gambling. Will Delia help clear the name of a cowboy she met less than 24 hour earlier, or will she do nothing and send him to a Texas swing party?

Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 1926

A recent college graduate, Cordelia Moulton is home and at loose ends in 1926 northern New Mexico. She fears living a life of insignificance, but she doesn't want to follow in her parents' ranching legacy, or become involved in their highly visible political and social life.
