Coming Up Roses (Meet Me at the Fair, Book 1), Meet Me at the Fair

A devil-may-care big-city newspaperman meets his match in the delightfully heart-warming Americana Romance, Coming Up Roses, by Rachel Wilson

—1893 Chicago World’s Fair—

Rose Ellen Gilhooley would do just about anything for Buffalo Bill Cody, the showman who plucked her out of poverty in Deadwood, KS, then turned her into one of the stars of his Wild West Show. So, Rose agrees when journalist H.L. May proposes writing a series of articles about her at the Chicago World's Fair.

However, the brash and wildly-enthusiastic newspaperman, who wants more than a business relationship, quickly discovers that his smooth words will never win the feisty trick-rider’s affections.

So, he turns to Annie Oakley and a few of Rose’s Souix friends for help, but it’s an unseen enemy’s sudden and dangerous kidnapping that creates the common ground for this unlikely love.

Publisher's Note: Set in a real time and place, this light and humorous romance captures the nostalgia of the American Gay 90s in Chicago and is sure to be enjoyed by readers of historical American romance.

Rachel Wilson, Alice Duncan

Alice Duncan has written many novels under her own name. She's also written as Emma Craig (her maternal grandmother's maiden name), Rachel Wilson (her mother's middle and maiden names), Anne Robins (her daughters' names), and twice as Jon Sharpe (the fictitious author of the "Trailsman" series). She was born and reared in Pasadena, California. When she was three months old, the family moved to a farm between Kezar Falls and Cornish, Maine. Alice's father was born in Hartland, Maine, which explains the Maine connection. The only thing Alice remembers from her life back east is her mother telling her never to eat yellow snow. Although her family moved back to California when she was four, many of Alice's relations still live in Maine.

When California became too expensive for her, Alice moved to Roswell, New Mexico, where her mother's family settled fifty years before the aliens crashed. Alice and her herd of dachshunds live in a house her uncle built on the property her maternal grandmother bought in 1903. When she lived in California, Alice loved writing books set in the Old West. Now that she lives in New Mexico, she wishes she could return to California. Unfortunately, California is still too expensive for her. Because her two daughters remain there, Alice visits California as often as she can.

When she's not writing, Alice Duncan rescues wiener dogs. She used to sing, but bronchitis put an end to her singing career in 2018. Kind of like Julie Andrews, only a couple of octaves lower.
