Springtime in the Rocky Mountains by Tena Stetler

 

Not quite what you would expect in late May. First of all last Sunday a balmy but  breezy evening of May 15^th  was a beautiful chance to view the lunar eclipse once the clouds subsided.

I spent several late afternoons in our sunroom with Taco, our parrot. The windows open enjoying the sweet aroma of my back yard full of lilacs of all colors. It was heavenly. Thankful that Mother Nature didn’t freeze the blooms as she usually does.   

The winds have been unrelenting with gusts of between 50 and 80 mph. With the warm days and drought conditions, wildfires have scorched from several acres, to hundreds of acres. One wildfire came within a couple of miles of my home. Pretty scary stuff. Moisture of any kind is desired. Be careful what you wish for. LOL

May 19, we broke heat records for that day at 89 degrees, then whiplash, May 20^th, 2022, began as a dreary, cloudy day with, wait for it, RAIN. Thanks the Gods. Then snow, lots of huge story book snowflakes adding up to several inches of the white stuff. We had to cover the tender plants, knock the snow off the tree and lilac limbs to avoid breakage. The lilac blooms were less than impressed with the wet, heavy snow, though their roots and the plant themselves were thankful for the moisture. Perhaps the rain, snow and mix will put a damper on the wildfire season for a few weeks.  Mother Nature can be tricky this time of year in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. As Caden Silverwind hero in An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement can attest.

An Angel's Unintentional Entanglement. 

Fallen warrior angel, Caden Silverwind, lives alone in Colorado's rugged Rockies, healing from physical wounds as well as the mental anguish suffered during battles with dark demons. Then he finds a woman barely clinging to life after a horrendous beating. He is not prepared for the entanglement she brings to his life, nor the feelings she awakens in him.

 

Bureau of Indian Affairs Agent, Mystic Rayne’s personal dilemma and assignment nearly gets her killed. Divine intervention is a complication she never expected and her growing attraction to Caden is undeniable. Can she trust him with her secret?

 

Their quest to uncover her attacker takes them from the pristine mountains in Colorado to the wilds of Wyoming. Along the way, they find answers which may place them in more danger. Determined to solve the mystery, they must also navigate their feelings and fears to find love and unite heaven and earth.

Where Do The Stories Come From? By Tena Stetler

 

One question that seems to always be on reader’s minds is where do I come up with ideas for my books.

First of all, since childhood, I’ve had an over active imagination. As a child, it caused night frights and tall tales. As a teenager and adult, I put those scenes and voices in my head on paper, or computer screen. Also my hubby, pup, parrot and turtle spend as much time in the spring, summer and fall in our 38-foot fifth wheel trailer traveling the country, including state and national parks as vacation allotment and weekends  allow. LOL  Some of my stories come from these trips.

 

It just happens that AN ANGEL’S UNINTNENTIONAL ENTANGLEMENT, which is on sale for 99 cents right now is one. The story came about one summer when hubby and I were driving over Independence Pass. It’s one of our favorite drives in Colorado. A beautiful drive if you don’t mind the shear drop-offs. Abandoned mining cabins (dating back to 1880-1890) dot the landscape near the top of Independence Pass at over 12,000 feet in elevation.  The miners who built the cabins, didn't realize how unforgiving the winters at 12,000 feet can be.  As I rounded the back of one of those cabins a complete scene unfolded among the spectacular views. I rushed to the truck and jotted down an outline and An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement was born. 

 Fourth book in A Demon’s Witch Series, An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement hero, Caden Silverwind was a secondary character in A Warlocks Secrets (Book 2). Caden had a story to tell, and insisted it be told before I finished up the series. The heroine in this story is Mystic Rayne. At the time I was writing this our beloved canine companion passed over the rainbow bridge. We were devastated. As the circle of life continued, a new puppy arrived and we named her Mystic Reign, after my character. Do you believe in fate? 

Well coincidently An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement was released on August 6^th  of that year, which happens to be our pup, Mystic’s birthday.   

Let’s talk a little about the award-winning An Angel’s Unintentional Entanglement.

Then he finds a woman barely clinging to life after a horrendous beating. He is not prepared for the entanglement she brings to his life, nor the feelings she awakens in him.
