Author Michelle Black
Welcome to the Victorian West of author Michelle Black. The novels of the Victorian West offer an electrifying mixture of history, romance, and suspense set in a time when America was fueled by new frontiers, new ideas, and the relentless optimism of a young nation still defining its unique character and spirit.

Witness the darker side of Manifest Destiny in An Uncommon Enemy, which introduces the reader to an unforgettable heroine, Eden Murdoch. Called "fearless and feisty" by Publishers Weekly, Eden survives the Washita Massacre and demands that George Armstrong Custer tell the truth about what really happened there.

In Solomon Spring, Eden's journey continues as she tries to save a legendary healing spring held sacred by the Plains Indian tribes from commercial exploitation only to have her own past take center stage when she and her long-estranged husband engage in a vicious custody battle that takes a deadly turn. The Chicago Tribune compares the Eden saga to the Mary Russell novels of Laurie R. King.

In the forthcoming The Second Glass of Absinthe, Eden leaves the prairie for the decidedly more sophisticated environs of boomtown Leadville where she must clear her nephew, Kit Randall, of murder charges as the town struggles with the violence of its first labor strike.
