"Digging Holes in Paradise"

Publisher: Whiskey Creek Press

 
One lie leads to another in this playful historical romp. The characters dig themselves in so deep, it's a wonder they ever claw their way out.

1859, Missouri.  Josette insists on being her own woman. In order to avoid an arranged marriage, she adopts the identity of a woman who has died, takes her stagecoach ticket, and heads for the untamed Nevada Territory to assume the woman's position as a seamstress. In Nevada City, a madame sells raffle tickets for one lucky man to spend the entire night with her new prostitute who is due in on the next stage. Naive Josette is horrified to discover on her first night in town that "seamstress" is just another name for ... Oh my God!

Nevada's Comstock Lode bonanza adds color and excitement to this fast paced adventure.
