As the multiverse threatens to spiral out of control, only a Mender can hold the chaos at bay... at least, that's what Eva's been taught to believe. She's dedicated her life to merging the world's reality, one shattered universe at a time - but she can't do that while stranded in 1835 Texas. Injured and separated from her mission partner, Eva must find a way home. And there's another problem: the handsome young farmer, Jim, who rescued her. If she's not careful, he may have her questioning everything she's ever believed. Jim, a former Comanche captive, has been forced to return to Anglo society as an adult. A man of his word, he aims to keep a promise to an old friend even while he struggles to find acceptance within Austin's colony of San Felipe. But first, he must come to terms with his violent past and the things he did to survive. The Mender invites readers on an epic journey through the rough and tumble world of pre-revolutionary Texas, where nothing is simply black and white. [Hey there! Jennifer here. I'm going to break with the usual convention and write to you, my potential reader, directly. You're probably wondering, what the heck genre is this book? Is it a Romance? A Western? Sci-Fi? Well, if I had to put a percentage on it, I'd say it's 80% Historical Fiction with a time travel/alternate timeline twist. It's not so much about the time travel itself (though that's pretty cool), but rather an opportunity to explore metaphysical questions and different cultural perspectives by juxtaposing characters from vastly different worlds. I take historical accuracy seriously, especially regarding depictions of Comanche characters and Anglo captives. I consulted with the Comanche Museum's Cultural Specialist in Lawton, OK, and a Comanche tribal member read my manuscript twice. And yes, while there is action, adventure, and a slow-burn-to-steamy romantic subplot, if you're looking for a light, formulaic read where the hero and heroine are flawed in cute ways that aren't really flaws, this isn't it. But if you're looking for something a little different, something that'll make you think, maybe question your own assumptions, and will have you on the edge of your seat by the end, then this is the book for you. Please Note: The Mender is Book One of a traditional trilogy with a "to be continued" ending.]
