About the Book

Book: Jackson’s Fall (Troubles in the West Book Three)

Author: Carole Brown

Genre: Western Romantic Suspense

Release date: August 20, 2024

He’d never fainted in his life. Hardly ever been sick. Never been afraid to tackle wild animals, untamed horses, or men with guns. But…there was his brother Jeremiah. A person so despicable he’d hope to never see him again. And worse, facing the heartless woman, Penelope, who’d betrayed him in front of the whole town—-standing here now just feet away from him with Jeremiah—well, for the first time in his life, he wanted to run. Fast.

Yet, he couldn’t. He wouldn’t. There was his job that he loved, and the dreams he’d planned. But most of all, there was a new woman in town. A woman who was kind and sweet and beautiful with a heart of gold. They were friends—good  friends, and neither of them expected anything else.

But can Jackson Barlowe find peace in the good things of his life? Or would the two people who had destroyed his past, ruin his life forever?

More from Carole

In Jackson’s Fall, the female protagonist, Gabrielle Autumn, and her Grandparents own a bakery in the small town of Roaring Springs. Although I don’t mention this recipe in the book, it is one that I really believe Grandmama Mayfair would have baked and sold in her shop. And, perhaps, would have taught Gabrielle to make also. It’s totally delicious and diverse in that you can use whatever kind of fruit that you wish.

My mother made it often in our house! A perfect dessert for a historical, western setting…and a modern day family meal. I truly hope you enjoy making and eating it at your supper table.

Interview with Carole

When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer?

Hmmm. I think I’ve always been attracted to writing. My earliest recollection was as a young child talking with a neighbor, adding plenty of hand motions to emphasize what I was rambling about. That progressed on through elementary to high school, where a close friend and I sat during break times composing melancholy poems. I then advanced to writing short stories. Eventually,while teaching and secretarial work, I realized what I really wanted to do was write novels. From then on, I’ve never wanted to do any other “work” but write. I love it!!

How do you create your main characters?

Once I have an idea of what a book will be about, I move on to developing the principal characters. The plot, the setting, etc. is important in creating characters, their problems and personality. Most times I will have a vague idea of who and how they will work in the book, but I need to have a pretty strong idea of what the story will be about before I can create the characters and their personalities.

What do you like to do when you’re not writing?

Traveling, taking walks with my family, especially hubby and our dogs. I love heading to the beach with our sons and family (or anywhere else!), dabbling in flower gardens, reading, listening to music, living in the country, and more.

Where can readers find out more about you and your books?

Amazon is a great place to discover my books. I also have a great “Author Carole Brown’s Fan Group on Facebook where I try to keep my members updated on books, sales, parties, etc.

Any current or upcoming projects you’d like to tell us about?

Yes, I have another book in a different series coming out Spring, 2025. It’s the second book in my Nursery Rhyme series called A Spider Beside Her, a suspense with a touch of romance. One fun thing in this book is the intelligent Savannah cat that works with Tara in solving her cases. Given to Tara as a joke from her older brother and twin brother, she fell in love with her pet!  The question in this book is: Can Tara and Boet catch the person behind the spider threats to Wesley’s sister?

After that, I have book seven in my Appleton, WV Romantic Mystery series tentatively scheduled for release in late 2025 called The Herbalist. This series is one of my readers’ favorites, set in a small town in West Virginia. The main characters are mostly members of the community—or at least, wannabes! Who would have thought Appleton, WV would have soooo many mysteries?
