Produktbeschreibung

Welcome to Luna City; a scenic small town in Karnes County, Texas, home of the champion Mighty Fighting Moths high school football team - which doesn't win too many games any more, but the marching band are state-wide champions. The heart of downtown Luna City is Town Square - a grove of oak trees and lawns, and an ornate late Victorian bandstand. Businesses around Town Square include Luna Cafe and Coffee - run by Richard Astor-Hall, an Englishman and a runaway former celebrity chef, fleeing his past. There is Abernathy Hardware, nearly the oldest business in town, the Cattleman Hotel - which is haunted - and the Chamber of Commerce, situated in the old Luna Savings & Loan building, which once was robbed by the Newton Boys in 1922. Then there is Stein's Wild West Round-up' antoiquarian books, art and memorabilia run by the Georg and Annise from Germany, who were wild West enthusiasts from way back. On the outskirts of Luna City is the Age of Acquarius Campground and Goat Farm; that is run by Judy and Sefton Grant, who dropped out in 1968, persuing the commune life. To all these people, the intertwined and long-established Gonzalez and Gonzales clans, the Bodies of the feed mill, Patricia and Andy Pryor who run a BBQ food truck, Joe Vaughn who keeps law and order in town ... Luna City is home, and they wouldn't have it any other way.

Autorenporträt

Celia Hayes has always been passionately interested in the history of the American frontier. She was brought up in an eccentric, baby-boom family which formed the basis of a memoir, Our Grandpa Was an Alien. She earned a degree in English, served for 20 years in the US Air Force, and another ten years as a secretary and office administrator in various large and small business enterprises. Currently, she is the owner of Watercress Press, a small local subsidy press specializing in local history.

Her first novel, To Truckee's Trail, grew out of a fascination with the California emigrant trail. The Adelsverein Trilogy, and its companion novels - Daughter of Texas, Deep in the Heart, The Quivera Trail, and Sunset & Steel Rails drew on an interest in the German settlement of the Texas Hill Country, and the dramatic sweep of history in the Lone Star State. She has also authored a collection of adventures intended for younger readers, Lone Star Sons, set in the time of the Republic of Texas. With her daughter, Jeanne Hayden, she has also co-authored Chronicles of Luna City, and The Second Chronicle of Luna City, a collection of comic short stories set in present-day small town South Texas. The third volume of Luna City stories is due out in November, 2016, as well as another historical novel about the California Gold Rush -- The Golden Road.
