California Gold Rush Books and Blog

Last night I started a new blog, The California Gold Rush, for my nonfiction history books on the 1849 California Gold Rush, and other 19th century books I've written Introductions for.

Most are Kindle books at this time, and two are also available in print. I may soon put two more of the gold rush books into print.

Take a look at my new blog

The California Gold Rush Books

I published a Kindle book yesterday and the print book is now available.

The book was written in 1857 after J. D. Borthwick spent three years in Northern California during the Gold Rush. He was an artist and his written words are descriptive and colorful as he recorded the establishment of the Golden State as thousands upon thousands arrived in California from around the world with hopes of finding riches.

I currently have four books in the top 20 Amazon Kindle list under California Gold Rush. These book are great for anyone interested in Early California, the pioneers, and miners.

Welcome and Enjoy!

I am a published writer. When asked what I write I often say my writing goes from “flying angels to flying bullets.” When I receive those curious looks it may be because I fail to say, “not in the same book.”

I write nonfiction books about angels and spirit communication with the Other Side, Spiritualism, and UFOs. I also write mysteries, suspense, and historical novels, and I have scripted Comic books.

Some of my writing was with my late husband, Don Pendleton, father of the Action/Adventure literary genre, creator of The Executioner: Mack Bolan Series, the Joe Copp Private Eye Series, and the Ashton Ford, Psychic Detective Series.

I love writing. My latest novels are the first three books in my Catherine Winter, Private Investigator Series: Shattered Lens, Fractured Image, Shifting Focus; Deadly Flare-Up, A Richard McCord PI novel; the historical novel, Corn Silk Days, Iowa, 1862; and Sound of Silence; all available in tradepaper and ebooks.

I have published a Kindle ebook edition of our popular nonfiction book, To Dance With Angels, which was first published in 1990. I am delighted to now have it available for Kindle, in print, and audio.

As if my books don’t keep me busy enough, I now have four Blogs, this one, and my World of Spirit Blog and the two listed below. I suppose I should mention, my four websites...they are listed in the side panel below.

I have a Ragdoll kitten, Max, and he keeps me busy keeping him out of trouble! And I am convinced he is part dog. I hope you enjoy reading the eclectic posts and please feel free to share your thoughts with me.
