Wild West Christmas. Lynna Banning

      JENNA KERNAN spent much of her childhood wandering in the woods of the Catskill Mountains, navigating the forest at her father’s instruction, so books of adventure and romance hold a special place in Jenna’s heart. Outdoorsmen have always been irresistible to her, and her husband, James, is no exception. Jenna now lives north of New York City in the Hudson Valley, USA, across the river from her beloved Catskill Mountains. She visits the grassy meadows and quiet groves often in her imagination.

She writes American-set historical romance, and her award-winning books are inspired by the real people and events of the past. She lives in the Midwest and loves to hear from her readers at www.kathrynalbright.com
