Loretta's Bold Journey

 Dear Readers,

The year 2024 has been filled with many adventures; some of which I would have rather not experienced but that's a story for another time.

As we approach the end of December, I've been honored to close out the year by being featured in Bold Journey Magazine. I'm excited to share the article with you.

Please don't think me selfish or self-serving when I say that comments from readers and fellow authors are truly appreciated. I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Books make wonderful gifts for any occasion.

'Tis the Season...

 

Happy Holidays

Hello Dear Readers,

I hope you are having a happy holiday season and enjoying time with your loved ones. I’m still riding the high of all the love for Doc Holliday Mystery series, the first mystery series that I’ve written. It’s a paranormal mystery series and filled with so much emotion. Digging into Dr. Tullah Holliday’s family relationships, her Cherokee heritage, and how spirit animals contact Tullah is what I loved best. With Christmas right around the corner, I’m feeling very thankful that my readers are loving these stories that are so very close to my heart.

However, I have two Christmas stories that I promise will fill your heart with warmth and cheer. If you haven’t already read them, grab a copy of Christmas at Hope Ranch, a contemporary romance and A Little Kringle Magic, a Historical romance novella. I promise each book will make your season bright!  Both books have a thread of paranormalism running through them.

A Little Kringle Magic Blurb

https://amzn.to/3ExBHBe


In Landry, Wyoming, outspoken, bossy Dr. Bea Inseldorf secretly longs for a home and family of her own. Instead, she fills her life with caring for everyone else.
Widower Tate Reed is filled with bitterness and refuses to celebrate Christmas—his wife died in childbirth at the holiday several years ago. His young daughter misses her mother but also her father, who is no longer the happy, loving man he used to be.
Four days of isolation together in a ranch house and a batch of small round cookies magically change the lives of them all, starved for affection as they are, all seeking the same thing—happiness. There’s magic in the air!








Christmas at Hope Ranch

https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Hope-Ranch-Loretta-Rogers/dp/1509231870

Soured on Christmas and love, famed model Addison James returns to the only home she ever knew, Hope Ranch, a home for foster kids, to heal from a near-fatal accident and a broken heart. Falling in love again is not part of Addison’s plan—not until she meets cute and motherless six-year-old twins, and a handsome sheriff.

Sheriff Wade Grey’s philosophy for love is once burned is enough to last a lifetime. Friction sparks as he and Addison butt heads the first time they meet. Yet falling for her is so tempting. 

As Christmas approaches, there appears to be hope for love with a generous sprinkle of surprises.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, prosperous New Year!
So, dear readers, as we wave goodbye to 2024, I send best wishes for a happy, healthy, prosperous 2025. Until we meet again, how ever you celebrate the holidays, HAPPY READING!

Are Spirits Real—Yes or No?

 

Are Spirits Real—Yes or No?

There is no scientific evidence that ghosts or spirits exist, but many people believe in them.

The generally held opinion seems to be that ghosts are monsters in ghost stories, however spirits are what remains of someone who has died but still cares about their loved one, and perhaps protect them from harm.

The Doc Holliday Mystery series contains six books. It kicks off with: Fatal Passion and moves The Boneyard, Lights…Camera…Murder, Monster in the Dark, 8 Seconds to Die, and ends with To Catch a Killer.

Dr. Tullah Holliday, is a veterinarian, but most importantly she is part Cherokee and embraces the cultural history of her mother and grandmother’s heritage. According to my research, yes, the Cherokee traditionally believe in spirits, considering the spirit world to be intertwined with the human world, and seeing signs, visions, and dreams as gifts from these spirits.

This is a contemporary-paranormal series set in the fictional town of Enigma, Kentucky. Each book can be read as a stand-alone novel, but for maximum enjoyment, and to get to know Dr. Tullah Holliday, her Cherokee heritage, and her close-knit family and friends, it’s always better to read them in order. In each book, you will find out how spirit animals contact Tullah and help her solve what seem like unsolvable murders. 

In book #6, To Catch a Killer, Tullah is visited by her mother's spirit, telling Tullah, "It's time." Also, and unexpectedly, Tullah is visited by the spirits of other dead women asking Tullah to find their killer and bring him to justice.

On a side note, I might add that there is an element of fact in each book. However, it is up to you, to determine fact from fiction.

To Catch a Killer is the last book in the series. Wild Rose Press, Incorporated, releases Nov. 11, 2024 - Fiction - 332 pages

Dr. Tullah Holliday has waited fourteen years to avenge her mother's death. She suspects the killing of indigenous women is a gang initiation. When she arrives in New York City to investigate, she encounters a biased police captain possibly in league with the gang. Detective Clay Wolfchild Bannister has escorted a prisoner from Texas. The intriguing veterinarian he met two years ago (in 8 Seconds to Die) is a breathtaking woman and he wants her back in his life. He'll do whatever he can to help uncover what really happened to her mother. When Tullah realizes she is the killer's next target, she finds the truth about the night her mother died in a dark alley is-deadly. And a second chance for love between her and Clay could end before it's begun.

So, dear readers, to answer the question: Are Spirits Real--Yes or No? Have you had an experience with a spirit or even a ghost? I'd love to hear from you.


Until we meet again,

HAPPY READING!

Who is Dr. Tullah Holliday and What is She Up To Now?

 

Hello Readers,

Technically it’s still Summer for just a little longer, but it’s safe to say there’s already a busy feeling in the air as we leave the beach behind and look ahead to cooler weather, and the Fall. I hope you find some time to unwind in these next few months as best you can. If that happens to be with a book, I’m pleased to share the news that 8 Seconds to Die is available in paperback and ebook. The book finds Dr. Tullah Holliday as a guest on a ranch in Oklahoma to solve the suspicious murder of a former school bully’s father. But can she uncover the truth before she becomes the next victim? 


8 Seconds to Die is book #5 in the Doc Holliday Mystery series. In fact, now is a perfect time to catch up on all of Dr. Tullah Holliday’s adventures – because she’ll be back in my next release, To Catch a Killer, coming November 11th and available for preorder now.

COMING SOON


TO CATCH A KILLER

For fourteen years, Dr. Tullah Holliday has waited to use her empathic abilities to avenge her mother’s death by neophytes who kill indigenous women as part of their gang initiation.

When Tullah arrives in New York, she encounters a biased police captain that she suspects is in league with these gangbangers.

By coincidence, Detective Clay Wolfchild Bannister has escorted a prisoner from Texas to New York. The intriguing veterinarian he met two years ago is a breathtaking woman and he wants her back in his life. He’ll do whatever he can to help uncover what really happened to her mother.

After Tullah sends Clay away, she realizes she is the killer’s next target. The truth about the night her mother died in a dark alley is—deadly. And a second chance for love between her and Clay could end before it’s even begun.

Whether you’re reading this series for the first time or catching up, I’d love to hear your thoughts. You can find me on Instagram @rogers.loretta2018, and FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/loretta.rogers.3591/
