The release date for THE FALCON has been changed to 12/22/26. Pre-orders at Apple Books and Nook are still valid, and the book will be delivered to e-readers on that date. Unfortunately, Amazon pre-orders have been cancelled. The book will be available at Amazon on the new release date (along with Kobo and Google Play Books, as well as subscription services Everand and Kobo Plus).
I need a bit more time with the story. Thanks so much for your understanding!
The Falcon
WingS Of The WeSt SeRieS Book 12
Coming December 22, 2026

The discovery of an abandoned falcon chick leads to a fierce attachment, but with only intuition to guide her, Josie struggles to train the wildest creature she’s ever encountered.
Mateo Almirón—The Falconer—is tasked with delivering two prized purebred Criollo mares to Matt Ryan, but when the exchange goes wrong, Mateo is entrusted with protecting Ryan’s daughter.
Josie is the youngest child of Matt and Molly from THE WREN.

Welcome!
I'm so happy you're here, and I hope you'll spend some time looking around. I write historical western romances and am known for my Wings of the West series - a gritty, romantic, and sometimes mystical set of books, along with several shorter works. I'm currently expanding the series - THE STARLING, THE CANARY, THE NIGHTHAWK and THE SWAN are out now. Look for THE FALCON in September 2026 (pre-order now). And don't miss the 20th anniversary hardcover edition of THE WREN, now available with exclusive interior illustrations done by my daughter-in-law, Alex.
I also write contemporary adventure romances. The Pathway Series currently has three books - DEEP BLUE (the other side of Jaws), COLD HORIZON (drama and romance on K2, the second highest mountain behind Mt. Everest), and ANCIENT WINDS (my Indiana Jones meets The X-Files romp). These books are mainly driven by my curiosity, and my goal is to give you a story with high adventure and romance. Definitely the type of books I like to read! There are shorter works also available in the series, and I'll be adding a new novel in 2026 - COBALT SEA, release date TBD.
I have a few exclusive short reads for my newsletter subscribers, so I hope you'll consider signing up. I usually send an email once a month. And if you're looking to purchase an autographed print book, please check out my Etsy shop.
My work is available wide with the exception of ALICE: BRIDE OF RHODE ISLAND, ROSEMARY, and my Italian translations, all of which are in the Kindle Unlimited program. You can find my Wings of the West novels as well as my Pathway series at Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, and Everand. My German translations are at Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play, Thalia, and other German ebook outlets. My French translations are also widely available. If you're looking for an alternative subscription reading program besides Kindle Unlimited, consider trying Kobo Plus. Because Kobo doesn't require exclusivity (KU does), you can find all my non-KU novels there.
The easiest way to keep up with my latest releases (besides my newsletter) is to follow me at Amazon and/or BookBub. I've been trying to build a new book account over at Instagram, so a follow is always appreciated. And you can find me on TikTok, where I post book content along with videos of my rescue bulldog, Jeb.
Cheers,
Kristy

What am i working on?
For 2026, I have two novels coming.
THE FALCON, Book 12 in the Wings of the West series, will be out September 22. This will be the final book in the series.
I'm still working on the next Pathway novel, COBALT SEA, which also consumed 2025. This one has been giving me a lot of challenges, not the least of which is the structure of the novel itself. My goal is to have this one out by August 2026. Fingers crossed!! (This adventure features Chloe Mann and her attempt to decipher the language of sperm whales under the guidance of Nick McIntyre, who runs a research program on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean.)
If all goes well there will be a final DEEP BLUE short story added at the end of COBALT SEA. (Grace and Alec will be getting married!)
I took last year off from translations and am now ready to get back into them. First off, THE STARLING will be translated into German. Look for this by April or May of this year.
THE SONGBIRD and ECHO OF THE PLAINS will also have new translations in both Italian and French. Stay tuned.
If you've read this far, please know how grateful I am that you've given my books a chance. As an independent author, your support is much appreciated.
Kristy xx
