HARD EVIDENCE (2007)
Available early December, 2007.
Come out, come out--wherever you are....
Someone is lurking in the woods behind the isolated lodge and cabins Janna McAllister has been fixing up. Who is he? And what could he want with a single mother who hasn't set foot in the Wyoming Rockies for years?
She's suddenly thankful for her unexpected lodgers, deputy sheriff Michael Robertson and his troubled young son. The strong, silent type, Michael makes her feel safe--especially when human remains are found on her property. But it's a cold case, until she discovers evidence that brings the killer out of hiding--a killer who now wants to see her dead.
And suddenly, it's no longer safe to trust anyone she knows.

Visit www.roxannerustand.com to find contests for free monthly drawings, articles, photos, a free cookbook, and news about upcoming books!
It's hard to know exactly where to put this page at Shoutlife, amongst the various author categories. Romance? But there's always suspense, too! The Suspense category? But there's always romance!! Maybe Romance is a better fit...
CHECK OUT A **FREE** ONLINE READ!!
A FREE, serialized inspirational romantic suspense story is now online! It's a short story, and you can read all of the installments at:
http://www.eharlequin.com/articlelist.html
Then click on "Online Read Library" and select Dangerous Redemption.
That short story takes place in the same town as the trilogy that started with HARD EVIDENCE (a Love Inspired Suspense paperback, 12/07) and that is followed by VENDETTA (2/08) and WILDFIRE (3/08) so it's a nice, free taste of the trilogy to come.
These books area all part of the Snow Canyon Ranch trilogy. Set in the Wyoming Rockies, the books follow the three daughters of a tough, no-nonsense Wyoming ranch widow who return to the mountains begin a new life...only each faces unexpected challenges and danger. If you miss the books in the store, there are easy Amazon links at the www.roxannerustand.com website.

Back in 1995, Roxanne's first manuscript won the Romance Writers of America Golden Heart in Long Contemporary, and in 1998 her second was a Golden Heart finalist. More recently, A Man She Can Trust (a February, 2006 release) won RT Bookclub Magazine's award for Best Superromance of 2006. Roxanne was nominated for RT's Career Achievement Award in 2005.
She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, International Thriller Writers, RWA, Author's Guild, Novelists Inc., the Faith, Hope and Love chapter of RWA, RWA's Mystery & Suspense Chapter, Christian Writer's Group International, and the Heart of Iowa Fiction Authors.
Roxanne lives in the country with her husband and their daughter, who has just graduated from high school. Two sons have already graduated from college.
Out on their acreage, they have two horses, two border collie mixes (one newly adopted from a shelter--a sweetie named Elmo), two house cats, and an abundance of barn cats who much prefer cat food to mice. The Rustands firmly believe in spaying/neutering all of their animals. But as in the old hobo days,there must be a secret feline code scratched on the barn door--"Stay here--good eats!" -- because newcomers are forever joining the barn cat population. If they stay, they get fixed, too...but apparently *that* message hasn't been shared!!
Roxanne has a Master's Degree in nutrition, is a registered dietitian, and works part-time at a residential psychiatric facility.
If you visit her website (www.roxannerustand.com) you can sign up for a FREE NEWSLETTER! It will be sent just a few times per year, with fun recipes, information on contest prizes and winners, and news about any upcoming book releases!
Also, please stop by the "Craftie Ladies of Suspense" blog, if you have an extra minute--where you'll find six authors of inspirational suspense. It's a fun place to check out!

Have a blessed weekend.
17. I keep asking God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18. I pray for the eyes of your heart to be enlightened in order for you to know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

Mother's Day Poem
Christian Verse
By Lachelle B. Ransom
Mothers are special people
God knew that from the start
That's why he created them in His own image and to them gave the biggest heart.
She's able to heal our hurts with only a kiss and hug
She's able to cook breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is never slow as a slug.
Mothers are special people
God knew they'd always be
He created them to do so much that involves you and me.
She has to be a teacher to teach us what we need to know
She has to be a taxi driver to get us where we need to go.
Mothers are special people
God knew His work was complete
When He created someone that could do SOOO much on her own two feet.
She is a Christian on Him she depends
She displays the fruit of the Spirit and a helping hand she is willing to lend.
Mothers are special people

I'll Always Love a Rainbow
by Richard S. Barnett*
\
I'll always follow Jesus,
Walk in His way of love,
The way of truth that leads to life,
Ending at His side.
That's why I'll always love the rainbows,
God's own promises in the sky;
They are not illusions or pipe dreams?
Great words I'll live by.
Believe me,
I'll always love a rainbow:
Simple sign to lift my soul in boundless joy!
