by Rosalyn West
ROSALYN WEST made a smashing Avon Books debut
with A Man’s Touch, which critics called “one of the best books
of the year,” followed by A Woman’s Heart, described as
“a book you won’t want to end.”
She is currently continuing work on the Men of Pride County
series, which follows friends who return from the
Civil War to find not only their lives changed, but themselves
as well. The series began with The Outcast in February 1998;
The Outsider is the second book; and the third will be
published in late 1998.
Rosalyn West lives in southwestern Michigan,
and invites readers to write to her for promotional materials
and a newsletter update by sending a SASE to
P.O. Box 896, Portage, MI 49081. Readers may also
