The young outlaw known as Billy the Kid spent the winter of 1880-1881 in Santa Fe-trying desperately to get out of its jail. He hired lawyers. He wrote the governor. He even tried digging his way out! Nothing worked. Billy only "escaped" the "safest jail in the Territory" in March 1881, when deputies finally escorted him to the railroad station for a trip to southern New Mexico-where a jury of his peers waited to convict him of murder. But just where was this invincible Santa Fe jail? Today, in Santa Fe, two plaques mark the spot, or rather, two competing spots . . . Lynn Michelsohn tracks down historical sources to identify the long-disputed location of Billy the Kid's Santa Fe jail and to provide this brief glimpse of life in the Wild West on the Southwestern Frontier. (10,000 words; 16 photographs, drawings, and maps) Recommended for Western history buffs, Billy the Kid aficionados, and anyone who loves Santa Fe.

Santa In A Stetson — Rebecca Winters

Colton Brenner is content being a single dad to his teen twins. And if the Montana rancher was looking for someone, it wouldn’t be Kathryn McFarland. The devoted advocate is so busy fixing everyone else’s life, she can’t settle down. Reuniting families is Kathryn’s job and maybe Colt’s family is the one family she is meant to join! Maybe it’s the way the sexy cowboy wears his Stetson or how incredible he is with his kids. All Kathryn knows is she’s ready to be Colt’s woman — if he’s ready to let go of the past and be her man.

No one can prevent the bond between mother and child. When AJ learns the selfless reasons behind Sam’s actions, AJ’s secret becomes a burden he can’t keep. Will Sam forgive him for having their son all along? Or will one little boy’s love bring together a family…just in time for Christmas?

About the Authors

Rebecca Winters, an American writer and mother of four, lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. When she was 17, she went to boarding school in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she learned to speak French and met girls from all over the world. Upon returning to the U.S., Rebecca developed her love of languages when she earned her B.A. in secondary education, history, French, and Spanish from the University of Utah and did postgraduate work in Arabic.

From the time she was ten years old and read Anne of Green Gables and Little Women, Lee McKenzie knew she wanted to be a writer, just like Anne and Jo. In the intervening years she has written advertising copy, magazine articles and an honors thesis in paleontology, and edited conference proceedings, educational material and technical publications. Along the way, her imagination demanded a more creative outlet, and she soon discovered the world of romance. Becoming a four-time Golden Heart finalist and a Harlequin author are her proudest accomplishments yet.

Lee and her artist/teacher husband live on an island in the Pacific Northwest, and she loves to spend time with two of her best friends—her grown-up children.

A Brief History Of Stonehenge

RRP $29.99

Britain's leading expert on stone circles turns his attention to the greatest example of them all - Stonehenge . Every aspect of Stonehenge is re-considered in Aubrey Burl's new analysis.

He explains for the first time how the outlying Heel Stone long pre-dates Stonehenge itself, serving as a track way marker in the prehistoric Harroway. He uncovers new evidence that the Welsh bluestones were brought to Stonehenge by glaciation rather than by man. And he reveals just how far the design of Stonehenge was influenced by Breton styles and by Breton cults of the dead.

Meticulously research sets the record straight on the matter of Stonehenge's astronomical alignments. Although the existence of a sight line to the midsummer sunrise is well known, the alignment and the viewing position are different from popular belief. And the existence of an earlier alignment to the moon and a later one to the midwinter sunset has been largely unrealised.

One almost unexplained puzzle remains. The site of Stonehenge lies at the heart of a vast six mile wide graveyard, but before it was built there appears to have been a mysterious gap two miles across on that site. Burl argues that earlier totem pole style constructions served a ceremonial purpose for the living - to celebrate success in the hunt.

About the Author

Aubrey Burl is former principal lecturer in archaeology, Hull College of Higher Education. His many books on stone circles include Prehistoric Avebury and A Guide to the Stone Circles of Britain, Ireland, and Brittany.
