#89 Guest Author Kimberly Burns

Two Women Are Determined to Make It In A Man's World
Award-winning author, Kimberly Burns, joins hosts Bobbi Jean and Jim Bell to chat about her two historical fiction books. THE MRS. TABOR and THE REDEMPTION OF MATTIE SILKS. Tune in for an informative and engaging conversation about these two Western women and the way they chose to "make it in a man's world" - 1890's Denver and beyond. Both books are based on true stories. Baby Doe (Mrs. Tabor) seeks her fortune the best way she knows how-marrying a rich man. Madam Mattie Silks makes her fortune catering to Colorado’s gold and silver millionaires. We talk in-depth about Kimberly's research, the lives of these two women, the similarities between "then and now," and why historical fiction is an important genre.
