about this book: Blair Westerman is a widowed cattle rancher living in the high desert of central Oregon. He is struggling to protect his young daughter from the "evils" of big city life after having relocated from L.A. to his Oregon home.

Enter Chyenna Dupres, a fiesty female entrepreneur who has moved her own daughter and herself to Blair's small town of Prairie Valley.

From the moment the couple first meet, the verbal sparks fly. Blair determines to keep life the way it is--simple and down-to-earth. Chyenna yearns to convert the historic inn she's leased into an upscale eatery which will attract tourists. Yet despite Chyenna and Blair's fierce differences, their attraction is undeniable. And in the end, it takes their daughters to show them their destiny is indeed written in the stars.

I was first inspired to write this book when I was attending a Rose City (Oregon) Star Party in central Oregon. On our first night of the camp-out, I noticed a young mother and her daughter setting up camp on the rocky desert floor. Although I was fairly certain they were inexperienced campers--judging by their lack of proper clothing and gear--I also sense there was something even more troubling eating away at the mother. She seemed to be escaping from something..but what, I would never know. I began asking myself some "what ifs" and the story slowly came to life in my mind. Hence, Star Light, Star Bright was born!
