Synopsis

Annie is in her fifties, single, and recovering from an unusual type of breast cancer. Her sense of humor finds an outlet when her two uncles and their wives give her a surprise week at a ranch south of Salmon, Idaho. There, Annie meets a tall cowboy named Jake, and Silk, a black stallion who instantly likes Annie, although the redhead known as Allison does not. Several surprises await Annie and her cohort, Mike, not to mention Trouble.

About this title

About the Author:

Unexpectedly divorced after 43 years, Ms. Steen entered the world of the transient. Her faith in her Lord was her constant companion while moving from bedroom to bedroom, State to State, with her laptop, five suitcases, and a printer. Disabled by disease, recapturing her many years as a performer, composer, and teacher on the piano was impossible. However, instead of giving up during her twenty months of dependency on the graces of strangers and family, this remarkable woman was armed with three lethal weapons: her laptop, her imagination, and her sense of humor. Persistent encouragement in her writing continues from Colleen Whitley, now retired from English and Honors at Brigham Young University, and Roberta J. Molyneux, a Professor of English at Lamar Community College in Colorado. Ms. Molyneux's review of How to Screw Up Five Lives in One Easy Lesson was "...Outstanding!" (Amazon.com) Ms. Steen's engaging humor has touched the lives of those who opened their doors to her, the medical personnel who remain in her life, and those around the world who visit her website. As she says, "I'm the perfect Oprah candidate: a gutsy, old, impoverished woman that society considers a poor investment. However, I shall rise above that perfection." She is a published composer with a CD of her own music, has authored eleven novels, and two novellas. Her website www.mountainqueenpublishing.com has visitors from around the world who enjoy her essays, photography, and short stories. Available on her web site are excerpts from each of her books. Ms. Steen's eleven novels include ten in the Safe in All Things series, and A Tanda of Tangos; her short novellas: How To Screw Up Five Lives in One Easy Lesson, and A Week at the Ranch. All to be available through Amazon.com by December of 2010
