ⓘ About Elaine Shields
With Elaine’s years of life’s wisdom etched into her pen, she crafts tales which transport her readers back to a time when the lawmen wore badges, outlaws roamed free, and love was just as vast as the prairie sky. When she is not capturing the essence of the Wild West down on paper, she can be found tending to her horse, a trusted companion on dusty trails and under the star studded nights. Whether it is a tender romance or a thrilling showdown, her novels are a journey through the untamed landscapes of the Old West, where resilience, courage, and the promise of love await around each and every sagebrush corner. “Intrigued by Her True Colors” is the first novel in the “Western Stories of Love and Devotion” series and was released in 2020.
