When I saw the art for my cover, my first reaction was “WOW!” followed by the kind of giggling you can expect from an author who is realizing that their book is about to become a reality. I found that seeing the cover of Under A Texas Star was even more exciting than getting my advance - and that was pretty exciting.

Once I settled down I had my first critical moment. I loved the rich colours, the composition, the hot guy (Jimmy Thomas). Jenn did an amazing job, right down to matching Marly’s hair colour for me. But Marly never wore a dress on the trail. She was disguised as a boy. On the other hand, under the dust and denim there was a young woman in there that might want an off the shoulder gown - an item of clothing that her strict Aunt Adele would never allowed her to own. This led to an extra scene in the book.

Not a thousand words, but the picture not only inspired the new scene, it coloured how I looked at Marly. Her first romance led to heartache and humiliation. She didn’t think she’d trust anyone that way again - even a handsome Texas Ranger. But if I can dream myself into a cowboy’s arms, Marly sure as heck can dream herself into that dress.


About Alison Bruce

Alison Bruce has an honours degree in history and philosophy, which has nothing to do with any regular job she's held since. A liberal arts education did prepare her to be a writer, however. She penned her first novel during lectures while pretending to take notes.

About Under A Texas Star

Disguised as a boy, Marly joins a handsome Texas Ranger in the hunt for a con man and they must bring the fugitive to justice before giving up the masquerade and giving in to their passion.

When Marly Landers is fooled by con man Charlie Meese, she's determined to bring him to justice--even if it means dressing up as a boy and setting off across the plains to find him.

Texas Ranger Jase Strachan is also after Meese, for crimes committed in Texas. He joins forces with the young boy in a journey that takes them to Fortuna, where a murder interrupts their mission. Jase is duty bound to find the killer, no matter the cost.

Marly carries out her own investigation and comes to the aid of Amabelle Egan, the sister of one of the suspects. But appearances are deceiving, and Marly is mistaken for Amabelle’s suitor, making her a target for the killer. Not to mention, Charlie Meese is still out there.

Under the Texas stars, Marly and Jase are drawn together by circumstances beyond their control, yet fate plots to tear them apart. Will Marly finally get her man?
