Shoreline native releases debut novel

Till My Last Breath, Book One in the Desert Hills Trilogy by Deborah Swenson

Two lives forged out of truth and trust. Can their love survive, or will it take its last breath?

"Till My Last Breath checks all the boxes: a western with action, adventure, and great characters, including upright heroes and evil villains, but most of all, the passionate tale of Caleb and Emily, time-crossed lovers who defy history itself to be together. An entertaining page-turner from Deborah Swenson." 

--Kathleen Morris, Award-Winning Author of The Lily of the West.
