Charlene Whitman is the best-selling author of heart-thumping romance. Her sweet historical Western Front Range series is set in Colorado in the 1870s, at a time when the buffalo and Indians were disappearing from the prairie and the railroad was bringing settlers to the new towns dotting the wide-open territory.

Charlene's Western series brings rich, complex characters to life, showing the difficulties facing those who wanted to carve out a new life. Charlene spent years living on the Front Range of Colorado, and she raised horses and watch dozens of Westerns growing up. She's married to George "Dix" Whitman and they have two daughters.
