Time's Secrets

College is over. Betta is in Milan studying fashion design. Meg has finished pre-med at Stanford and is looking forward to the summer off before she enters medical school. Grandfather Sean Collins has a meeting in Belfast and invites his granddaughters to go with him and see "his Ireland". It's a time for one last unencumbered time together before the girl's careers take off. But nobody factored in Meg's meeting with local barkeep, Jamie O'Hearn. Love at first sight? Meg denies the signs but can't deny Jamie. However, new beginnings may be thwarted by the secrets of the past and joy is tempered with heartbreak in this third installment of the Taylor's Girls Series.

Sabra Brown Steinsiek of Albuquerque, NM

Sabra Brown Steinsiek is a native New Mexican, born and raised in Carlsbad who now lives on the west side of Albuquerque with her husband, Will, and two cats, and leads a rich, full, fantasy life. She is the mother of one son, Jared.

Sabra's life has been tied to books and libraries for her entire life. Reading before she started school, she was the regular winner of the summer reading programs in Carlsbad and, in high school, won an essay competition on "If I Ran The Library". And that's exactly what she grew up to do. After volunteer library positions in school, Sabra became the Children's librarian for Carlsbad Public Library from 1982-84. Her library career continued with positions in the Albuquerque Public Libraries (now ABC Libraries) and the Law and Medical Libraries at the University of New Mexico until her early retirement due to fibromyalgia in 2005, when she began writing full time.

Sabra is also author, from various publishers, of three other books. Red Velvet Shoes: Contemporary Haiku (2005), The Lodge at Cloudcroft:100 Years of Hospitality (2011), and, "for children and those who have been children", The Tale of the Pronghorned Cantaloupe (2010-Rio Grande Books) which was also a New Mexico Book Award winner.
