Billie Jo and the Valentine Crow

by Shirl Henke

Overview

Mail-order bride Billie Jo Mingo travels west with her pet crow Pecker to meet her husband, the man she assumes is too fat and old to get any local woman to marry him.
Wealthy cattle baron Jason Lee Emory assumes he has married a gently reared lady to help him raise his orphaned daughter.
When the two meet, Billie Jo is stunned to find that her husband is the handsomest man she has ever seen. Jace is shocked that his lady is really a scrappy, red-headed backwoods waif. The feathers fly, especially when Pecker puts his beak's worth in.

About the Author

SHIRL HENKE lives in St. Louis, where she enjoys gardening in her yard and greenhouse, cooking holiday dinners for her family and listening to jazz. In addition to helping brainstorm and research her books, her husband Jim is “lion tamer” for their two wild young tomcats, Pewter and Sooty, geniuses at pillage and destruction.

“I wrote my first twenty-two novels in longhand with a ballpoint pen—it’s hard to get good quills these days,” she says. Dragged into the twenty-first century by her son Matt, a telecommunication specialist, Shirl now uses two of those “devil machines.” Another troglodyte bites the dust.
