TurnBack Tuesday, Constance O'Banyon

It's been a while since I wrote a TurnBack Tuesday post.. not for lack of authors but rather lack of time to give the authors the proper attention. I am sorry if this is a feature you enjoy.

Today's post is Constance O'Banyon.. Constance who is actually still writing regularly, was one of my favorites in the mid 80's to the early 90's. She wrote a wonderful four book series called her savage season. About the American West, one family that initially was kidnapped and then incorporated into Native American life. While there was plenty of "angst" and trauma there was also a well written story that spoke about the trials of the Native Americans as their way of life was slowly destroyed.

Constance is a native Texan who makes her home in San Antonio with her husband, Jim and their son, Jason.

Her books range from historical to contemporary and include several novellas.

Many of her books have been published in trade paperback. Her books have been published in Canada, England, Australia, Africa, Spain, China, Germany, Italy, Russia and France. Among her many awards, she is the recipient of the 1996 Romantic Times Career Achievement Award. There are eight million copies of her books in print.

I have always loved history, and I loved storytelling — it was only natural that I would one day put them both together. I must have lived in another life and time, because when I write, I can almost feel I was there. My favorite part of writing is the research. Whenever possible, I will go to the place I am writing about to walk the land and smell the air.

She also wrote one of the first time travel series that I read.. As I said she is still producing books and her writing has a unique feel to it. Her work is worth the time and effort of exploring. Some of her titles include
