Saddle Up... Let's Ride!
SHE'S BACK
There is nothing ladylike about Lacy Watson, bounty hunter. She's tougher than a hungry wildcat and as ruthless as the fugitives she chases down. She likes to do things her own way, and she doesn't care who likes or disapproves.
When she teams up with Tate Morgan to bring in the elusive Pocatello Kid, she has to rely on her own cunning and determination to outfox the outlaw and her partner to claim a $5,000 bounty for herself.
Can she backtrack, backtalk, out scheme and outmaneuver Tate and The Kid? Only the flame-haired, freckle-faced vixen and her beloved horse, Fancy, know for sure.
Bounty hunting is a lonely trail especially for a girl...well, really a woman. Just ask Lacy Watson if you dare to get close enough to ask the question. What causes this cute as a button, freckled, striking copperhead to isolate herself from all human contact and turn to bounty hunting to survive? What secrets and demons keep her on the move riding a big grey mare as her only friend and companion? He'd never in his born days run into such a persnickety cuss as that freckled venom-packed copperhead, with lips locked up tighter than the Denver Mint and burnt coffee eyes. As fast with her fists as she was with her pistol, Rawley found he'd been on the receiving end of those fists much too often. The kid had survival skills that would put most men to shame. But he also knew she kept dark secrets hidden behind that masculine façade, what were they? Fate casts this bounty hunter back into the very town she ran away from nine years ago. And what happens when bullets, dust and words begin flying? So partner, pour a cup of black and bitter, grab a seat and get ready to meet, FRECKLED VENOM.
The vivid cast of characters return along with some new faces in the spell-binding sequel in the Freckled Venom series, Freckled Venom - Copperhead Strikes.
What demons rise from her past life and bounty hunting days, forcing Lacy to strike back often? Will her past force her to leave the little community of White River, forever riding the range with a big grey mare as her only friend and companion once again? Or will Lacy find the love and home she thought she could never have?
More excitement then a passel of skunks nesting under your bed...Juliette Douglas and the folks of White River, Wyoming are back to entertain you once again with her third installment in the Freckled Venom series: Freckled Venom Skeletons.
Big Joe Kannon had a bone stuck in his craw and he was bound and determined to get even with that redheaded bounty hunter and her lawman husband. In cahoots with Del Rio, a human slave trafficker in Mexico, Kannon was on the hunt to deliver fresh new trinkets to Del Rio. Fourteen kids vanish from White River’s schoolhouse, including Hanah and Cotton Lovett.
And the chase is on...
Will a determined bunch of kids become more trouble then a pound of pennies for Kannon?
Will Rawley and Lacy find the kids in time? Or will they be lost forever?

WHAT READERS SAY ABOUT JULIETTE DOUGLAS’ WESTERN NOVELS
“I find Juliette Douglas' approach to be formulaic, as in the formula that works. Simple effective, fun and engrossing” Michael
“It was worth every minute of reading through the night; it's just that good!” Stephen
“I'll read anything she chooses to write. Keep 'em comin'!” Liz
"Juliette Douglas has missed her calling. She ought to be in Hollywood, writing scripts for the movies. All the way through this book, I could not help but envision it as a film; it could be the Blazing Saddles of the 21st century. It has all the elements for a really fine comic film - the slapstick situation, the coarse humour, people disguised as someone they're not. In the Wild West, three prostitutes dress up as nuns in order to rob a bank. Just that one line tells you what you're getting, and the book doesn't disappoint." PERFUME POWDER & LEAD HOLY SISTERS

“The most terrifying face of death comes from the hands of those who just want to be left alone.”
That was Rex King’s philosophy. He lost everything he held dear in the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. Amid the skullduggery that hugged the murky waters and misty shores, this ex-teacher became a high-stakes gambler. King plied his trade aboard the classic riverboats of the age.
King read his opponents with uncanny precision. He claimed the only thing he cared about was money until a kindly captain and a stowaway crossed his path. Then, the stakes got even higher.
