Title: Clay's Quest
Author: Christi Williams
Genre: Contemporary Romance
She’ll do anything to get her way.
Tall, elegant and beautiful, Emma Thorpe has wanted a baby for years. The yearning for a child occupies all her thought, her time, her effort, and any money she and her husband can scrape up for medical intervention. After trying and failing to conceive, the solution that finally comes to her is to leave her husband and hope to find a man—any man—capable of fulfilling her deepest desire.
Big, handsome Clay Thorpe isn’t the kind of man to let his wife just wander away. It takes a few months of Emma’s absence from his bed to devise a plan, but he’s determined. Eventually, Clay lures Emma home with a convoluted strategy only he could concoct, involving an antique diamond ring, sex three times a day, and...a turkey baster?
Caution: This is a work of fiction. Please don’t attempt duplicating Clay’s methods!
I was born, grew up, married, raised my kids, and
currently live in Wyoming. Most of the Western states are colored radical red
on political maps, but I try to give equal time to different viewpoints in my
writing. I’m interested in the mythology of the West, the cowboys and lawmen,
the iconic animals and ideals. My fiction is contemporary, so the settings and
the characters are completely modern and struggle with today’s issues. But the
men and women in my writing leave a big footprint, because their personalities
and their solutions to problems hark back to the iconic days which really don’t
exist anymore. My characters truly live by the Code of the West.
I’ve always been a big reader, and liked writing.
But when it came time for college, I couldn’t figure out how a woman who would
probably never be a literary giant went about making a living from writing. Beyond
journalism, that is, which didn’t interest me at all. So I put off writing
formally until I returned to school at the age of 39. Then I churned out
several manuscripts in quick succession but couldn’t get anyone interested in
publishing them. When the age of Internet publishing exploded all of a sudden
publishers were interested in my stories, perhaps because so many writers who
would have been submitting to them were instead self-pubbing. Or maybe the
stars were aligned correctly, or it was meant for me to look to where my roots
are.
BEAUTIFUL! Love this series and can't wait to read "Clay's Quest"!
