The author
Her story
Annette Garvey writes the West she knows: a working world of horses, cattle, weather, long days, and families who show up for one another even when it is difficult. Her cowboys are not the mythical kind. They are the real ones. Quiet, steady, capable, and likely to say more by fixing a gate or standing with a difficult horse than they ever would in a speech.
She is interested in strength that does not always announce itself, in competence as a form of care, and in the ordinary acts that carry more love than any speech. She believes people are complicated, readers are intelligent, and humor belongs beside grief.
Most of all, she believes strong women get happily ever afters too. Her heroines do not have to choose between competence and love, and they do not have to be rescued before they deserve their ending. Her stories are about learning that strength does not require carrying everything alone.
Page Ninety, the first West River story, is available free to her readers now. The first full novel in the series is coming soon.
Annette writes for readers who arrive with memory, humor, and hope, and she meets them with characters who have whole selves too. Join the reader list for the free story and news from West River country.
