A Foothills Pride Collection
The influx of San Francisco Bay Area gays is now commonplace in Stone Acres, California. But that means big city problems-much to the dismay of long-time residents of the small community.
In Relative Best, Zeke Bandy's hotel becomes a haven for a battered youth. Native American Vic Longbow, who escaped a similarly brutal upbringing, comes face-to-face with it at Zeke's place. With trouble surrounding them, can Zeke and Vic find their own peace and love?
On the outside, hardware store owner Frank McCord is the town's bachelor handyman in Frank at Heart. Inside, he's pining for true love, particularly the regard of software designer Christopher Darling. But recently divorced Christopher isn't looking for another husband.
Country contractor Ben in Waking the Behr has always believed he's heterosexual... until he meets city entrepreneur Mitch O'Shea. Mitch never thought he'd settle down with a guy from the country. Can a gay city mouse and a sexually confused country mouse find love?
When UC Davis horticulture grad Fen Miller agrees to help out in his cousin's nursery over Christmas, he rents a room in sous chef John Barton's Victorian house. John, another shorter-than-average man, catches Fen's interest. But John's past comes back to threaten them both in Short Order.
About the author
Pat Henshaw, author of the Foothills Pride Stories, was born and raised in Nebraska and promptly left the cold and snow after college, living at various times in Texas, Colorado, Northern Virginia, and Northern California. Pat has found joy in visiting Mexico, Canada, Europe, Nicaragua, Thailand, and Egypt, and relishes trips to Stowe, Vermont, and Eugene, Oregon, to see family.
Now retired, Pat spent her life surrounded by words: teaching English composition at the junior college level; writing book reviews for newspapers, magazines, and websites; helping students find information as a librarian; and promoting PBS television programs.
Two of her fondest memories include touching time when she put her hands on the pyramids and experiencing pure whimsy when she interviewed Caroll Spinney (Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch). Her triumphs are raising two incredible daughters who daily amaze her with their power and compassion. Her supportive husband keeps her grounded in reality when she threatens to drift away while writing fiction.
