Do You Like It?


Hello, Book Lovers!

I'm curious. Have you been leaving reviews and/or ratings on your favorite books? Namely -- mine? Haha!!
I need help. Go to Goodreads or Amazon and tell me and the public what you think about The Black Moon. I'd love to hear about it. Or how can I go on with the next episode? And that would mean leaving Rem and Skye and Colt and Lana in some serious situations.
Just a few words is all that's required. Say whatever you think. Just don't give anything away to someone who hasn't read it yet. Thanks so much.

New Release! The Black Moon


 Yes!  It's available and ready for you in Kindle or Paperback.  Sorry, The audio isn't ready yet, but I'll let you know the minute it is. 

Here's a little about it:


The Black Moon by Jane O'Brien

Branches of Time returns with book eight and another time-traveling, gold mining adventure.  Remington, Skye, Colt, and Lana, along with their cook, Tater, continue their search for gold in 1848 along the Sable River in Michigan.  Moored at Lake Michigan is The Black Moon, a ship that had previously been used for piracy.  A Black Moon is the second new moon in a calendar month or the third of four in a season.  It is thought to be an omen of change and brings hidden truths to the surface.  The small group of gold miners have much to hide, each one with their own secrets and as a group.

When Rem’s trip to town brings on trouble that he might not be able to come back from, it turns his life upside down and inside out.  Skye’s trip to town destroys her life when she encounters the lovely Rosalee.  Colt and Lana have a lot to learn about each other yet, but their love is strong.  Can it over come rough seas under the stars on one of the treacherous Great Lakes?

As they each travel in time to three different decades – 1848, 1908, and 1945, all on the breath of the wind, will they be able to attain the life they have dreamed of?  And the biggest question of all is: where will they end up?

Find out in The Black Moon, Book 8 of Branches of Time and continue the journey through time and back again.

Is it Christmas Yet?


 Do you hear the Christmas Bells coming from Hallmark yet? Their Countdown to Christmas has begun. Their first movie is on October 17th.

I really don't like rushing the season, but some things have to be worked on far in advance. So while I'm waiting for my new book, The Black Moon, to go through the editing process, I have been writing a new Christmas novella. If I work hard, I'll have it ready in time for Santa to bring you a copy.
