Tangled Times (Nickel Hill Series, Book 2)

About Irene Bennett Brown - Irene Bennett Brown was born in Topeka, Kansas but has lived in Oregon's beautiful Willamette Valley from the age of nine. As a young girl, she play-acted days away in grand adventures on the banks of Muddy Creek and in the nearby Cascade Foothills, galvanized by favorite books like On to Oregon. With help from Gene Autry and Roy Rogers movies. Interest in the West, particularly the Kansas heartland, grew with the years and is the setting for most of her books. Considering her nine YA novels a warmup to writing adult fiction, Brown is thrilled that they include four Young Adult Literary Guild selections, an International Reading Association Young Adult's Choice nomination, a Western Writers of America Spur Award, and a nomination for the Mark Twain Award. The latter two for Before the Lark, prequel to a new series for adult readers. When not writing, reading, or exploring historic places, she likes attending sports events and concerts with her growing family. She enjoys small-town life in Oregon with her husband, Bob, a retired research chemist, and their rescue cat, Quigley—The King of Everything. http://www.irenebennettbrown.net/
