Keta Diablo on Land of Falling Stars: What if two men who loved the same woman fought on opposite sides?

Thank you so much for having me on your blog. I love Wicked Thorn and Roses.

Tierney: I hear Land of Falling Stars just hit the top ten best-seller list at Ravenous Romance. How are you feeling about the release of your book?

Keta: I’m very happy over the success of Land of Falling Stars. I’ve had many wonderful reader reviews/comments on the book, so this really pleases me.

Tierney: What inspired you to pick the pen up one day and create the particular characters and story that appear in Land of Falling Stars?

Keta: Actually, I read a true story about cousins who fought in the Civil War on opposite sides and how that affected their families. My brain took flight; I started with the “what ifs”. What if two men who loved the same woman fought on opposite sides? What if one shot the other accidentally on a smoke-filled battlefield, and one was left to break the news to the heroine? So you can see where this led me. Sophia, was a pampered, coddled child and promised to Jesse in marriage since the day she was born. But it’s really Gavin, her childhood friend that owns her heart. Now, if she can only admit it. Many have asked where the title came from so I’m about to tell you . . . As children, Sophia, Gavin and Jesse would lay under the star-bangled canopy of heaven and pretend they lived in the Land of Falling Stars.

I hope everyone who visits Wicked Thorn and Roses will check it out at Ravenous Romance, and again, thank you so much for asking me to appear on your blog.

As Sophia gradually discovers Gavin's secret and falls under his seductive charms, she struggles to know her own heart.

Another Rave Review for Land of Falling Stars

See what You Gotta Read Reviews says about Land of Falling Stars.

Gavin Langdale walks a very long way after her leaves the war to bring devastating news to his friend, Sophia. The news will likely knock her into a dark abyss that she may never emerge from. He battles with the decision long after he makes contact with Sophia because he also battles with the emotions that have plagued him his whole life. He wants Sophia to love him the way she loves Jesse. He wants Sophia to be his not Jesse's. Gavin has a secret that could force Sophia to hate him for the rest of her life.

The author pens a story that is unlike any other. The characters are introduced as childhood friends who become adults with very complicated life experiences to deal with. The story takes place right after the Civil War when tensions run high on both sides. Emotions are tenuous at best and even more so when old relationships become new relationships. I was torn during the reunion scenes and breathless during the chase scenes. I loved all the substories and the minor characters that were such an integral part of the author's vision. Land of Falling Stars makes you believe in the possibility of retribution and the hope of finding your brass ring in the last place you look.
