Neosho author Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy’s latest novel, “The Legacy of Boone Wilson”, will release from World Castle Publishing on March 11. The novel is Book One of the Laredo series, a family saga set in the post-Civil War years in south Texas. It is now available for preorder in electronic format but will be available in hardback, paperback, and audio editions on release day.
It is Murphy’s eighth book for World Castle Publishing with two additional titles under contract. One is the second novel in the Laredo series, “The Endurance of Moses Wilson.”
Murphy has penned more than fifty novels and novellas with several publishers including World Castle Publishing, The Wild Rose Press, Evernight Publishing, and Champagne Books.
Murphy has made her home in Neosho for many years but is a native of St. Joseph, Missouri. As the former editor of The Neosho Daily News and The Aurora Advertiser, Ms. Murphy has worked as a reporter and in broadcast radio. She spent a number of years as a substitute teacher when her three children were growing up. Currently, she teaches 7th and 8th grade students in the parish school of religion at St. Canera Catholic Church in Neosho.
The cover blurb for the novel reads:
Boone Wilson, a Civil War veteran and cowboy, figures he’ll die before the month is out after he was shot in the chest playing cards. His comrades talk the owner of the local saloon, the aptly named Out of Luck Saloon, to provide a bed that he can die in, and while the weather is warm enough, they carry him down to the porch each day for some air, wrapped up in blankets. That’s where new schoolteacher Rachel Rose Shaw first sees him. When she stops to see if she can offer any help, she has no idea what she’s getting herself into, but she’s taken with Boone and vows to keep him from dying if she can.
That desire leads to the loss of her job as a schoolteacher because nursing a cowboy in a saloon isn’t respectable. As the wound festers and his fever rises, Rachel remains determined to save his life with the help of his two friends and his fifteen-year-old brother.
While his life hangs in the balance, there will be a reckoning for Rachel’s actions, and if there is a chance at a future, Boone must first survive to find it. A false accusation leads to jail time and a threatened hanging, further complicating his life.
Will Boone survive? And, is love enough? That’s for Boone and Rachel to figure out.
