More About the Author
In an effort to avoid what I knew I should be doing with my life (writing'it sounded so hard), for several years I expressed my creative side by dancing and singing. I belonged to two professional international folk-dance groups. Dancing made for a lousy living, but it was certainly fun. I also sang in a Balkan women's choir. I got to sing the tenor drone, for the most part. My first book, ONE BRIGHT MORNING, was published by HarperMonogram in 1995. What's more, it won the HOLT Medallion for Best First Novel. It was a good start, but my career has been . . . rocky, is the best word for it, I guess. Publishing's a brutal business, but I've got more persistence than brains so the publishing gods haven't killed me yet, although they seem to be trying awfully darned hard, curse them. In September of 1996 my herd of wild dachshunds and I moved from Pasadena, CA, to Roswell, NM, where my mother's family settled fifty years before the aliens crashed. We love it here. No smog, no crowds, no money, but I had no money in California, either, and you don't need so much of it here.

Another "Duncan Delight!",
By A Customer
This review is from: One Bright Morning (Harper Monogram) (Paperback)
When Maggie Bright opened her cabin door that miserably cold February morning, little did she realize her life would never be the same again. As she stared at Jubal Green, bullet-riddled and bleeding to death, he mumbled an apology, closed his eyes and passed out cold at her feet.With the help of his partners, Dan Blue Gully and Four Toes Smith, Maggie nursed Jubal back to life while she cared for her baby daughter and worked her rundown farm. All would have been well, but Prometheus J. Mulrooney insisted on continuing his feud with the Green family. This forced Jubal to escort Maggie and her baby daughter back to his vast Texas ranch, where he could better protect them. Another typical Alice Duncan cast of characters abounds in ONE BRIGHT MORNING. Decent, good-hearted, sweet-spirited heroines and heroes. Bad, evil-hearted, mean-spirited villains and accomplices. This story does have occasional, brief encounters with reality as the melodrama sweeps you through New Mexico and Texas in the 1800s. You sense the villain evilly twirling his mustache while the tall, blonde and handsome hero rescues the damsel in distress. Another "Duncan Delight!" ~Mona Montana for Bookbug on the Web
