Chrissy Hartmann

Ohio author, Chrissy Hartmann hopes one day to hit the New York Best Sellers list with her contemporary sweet western romances. Now out is her debut to her Whiskey Salvation Series, RESCUING WHISKEY'S Salvation. Coming soon will be her novella, Cherishing Whiskey’s Salvation and another novel to the Whiskey Salvation Series late in 2023.

Her favorite genre to write is romance. But she also blogs for the Prickle Forrest Chronicles. She's even authored two award-winning short stories that she refers to as a shattered short story like Marilyn Todd and Shirley Jackson. And to lighten the mood she dabbles in poetry once in a great while, which lean toward the style of Shel Silverstein.

This author has lived in various parts of Ohio, but now resides in her hometown of Wooster. A graduate of Kent State University with a B.A. in History she planned to get her master’s in Library of Science until the loss of her eyesight thwarted that. But not to be stopped from anything with books, she bought a computer that talks via JAWS and writes her own novels, which she’s taught herself how to do over the last 20+ years and can be found writing at all hours of the day.

However, she does manage to set aside 4 hours a day to write reviews and blog. And with a couple other hours, she can be found spinning vinyl with her husband, discussing Star Wars with her Eagle Scout, or playing with her retired guide dog and long-haired kitten. She loves coffee and writing workshops, but better yet, both together. One day, she hopes to retire to island life, preferably on Put-In-Bay and if not, at least research it for years for a new series.

No longer happy dealing with the glitz and glamour, cosmetic heiress Evie Mae Stockton plans to reopen her "dead" uncle's homeless shelter in Whiskey, Texas. But Griff Bryant, a land developer and the town's favorite cowboy, has other ideas for it.

Battling with the finances, the repairs to the shelter, and a homeless Troupe of Clowns who unknowingly terrorize her, Evie doubts her decision to come to Whiskey ... Until Griff wants to help.

Evie's brain stubbornly insists she can do this on her own, but her heart whispers to let him in.

While her heart warms to his, the mayor's revitalization committee - a committee Griff sits on — threatens to lasso the shelter via eminent domain. Crushed with this news, Evie must decide between the cowboy and the shelter.

Will her stubbornness stop her from RESCUING WHISKEY'S SALVATION or will it prevent her from finding true love?

Cherishing Whiskey's Salvation

Sweet Contemporary Western Romance

All Charlie Stockton wants in life right now is a good cup of coffee. Unfortunately though, that might have to wait.

Most people think being a colonel in the United States Army had once been a tough and demanding job, especially when it involves Special Forces. Or how about the stress and hard work it takes to be a successful Texas cattle rancher and five - star restaurant owner at the age of 50+.

Normally Charlie would agree, but, at the moment, he thinks being the father of a 28 - year - old chief marketing executive officer who just resigned to run a homeless shelter possibly the toughest. And it's not just any company his daughter resigned from. It's his wife's fortune - 100 company... And her mother's.

Now thrown into the middle of this battle, Charlie's got to pick a side. Not wanting either to lose, Charlie must use his negotiating skills and warfare tactics he's learned over the last thirty years to make sure there's a peaceful resolution. But while he works behind the lines to keep the family together, will Charlie risk losing his wife's love if he tries to outmaneuver her to prevent a war-torn family? Will his no nonsense strategy help his daughter win the battle over eminent domain and the shelter? And finally, will he get that cup of coffee while he negotiates peace between his daughter and a Troupe of Clowns who unknowingly terrorize her?

Loaded with humor and a touch of quirkiness, this contemporary sweet western romance will touch your heart. Cherishing Whiskey’s Salvation will be coming soon to a bookstore near you…
