As Tombstone continues to grow and the Archer family spreads out, newcomers to Tombstone bring new insight and new awareness for all of them. The continuation of the series includes the following five books:
Book 6: The Silversmith
A whole new world has opened up for Carol since her brother married Saffron Archer–Carol’s confidant and champion. Carol’s over protective brother Adam is even enjoying Carol’s newfound confidence, but isn’t at all convinced that she should have a suitor. But Carol and Saffron have something to say about it also. Adam might not be able to stand against both of them at once, and Carol just might find love.
Book 7: The Blacksmith
Olivia Blanchard was born with a rifle in her hand–or that’s what her father always told her as he raised her alone on their farm outside of Tombstone. But he was gone now, and it wasn’t enough for her when the thieves came calling, and burnt their farm to the ground. The town blacksmith finds her lovely, even standing in the mercantile covered in soot. She needs help and so does he, so he makes a proposal that turns both of their lives upside down.
Book 8: Christmas at Archer Ranch
The Archer family’s long-time housekeeper and lifelong friend to Katie Archer finds herself in a predicament when the Archer men travel to Mexico to herd some burros north for the miners and return with someone Maria thought she’d never see again–and wasn’t sure if she wanted to.
Book 9: The Healer
Sage Archer learned everything she knew about medicinal tonics from her mother Katie Archer while she was still alive. Sage was a wonderful student, and has added her own intuitive touch to the tonics that she shares with Tombstone residents when they are in need. She works for Dr. Folsom, Tombstone’s doctor, and hopes someday to know as much as he does about medicine. But when Tombstone folks turn up ill from her tonics, a doctor visiting his undertaker father wants to just what is in the tonics, and his life is changed forever.
Book 10: The Postmistress
All but one of Tarragon Archer’s siblings is married now and it’s quiet at the ranch. Tarra is thrilled to be working at the Tombstone post office, where there’s lots going on. But when the new postmistress insists that she learn Morse Code for the imminent telegraph service, Tarra is at a loss. When a stranger to town inquires about how he might find a resident, Tarra agrees to help him in exchange for Morse Code lessons–something that her father insisted on, and she’d rather be swallowed up by the earth than learn it. Especially from this man. But things change when they both discover who exactly is the woman he’s looking for, and things in Tombstone will never be the same again.
