Clare Gutierrez

"Bruised, bloody, and barely dressed, she knew it was over. She had no doubt the Vikings would search for her if she tried to run--especially now, with their companion lying dead. It would be dark soon, and she had no idea where she could go or hide. Jilliand knew they would come for her. The Vikings were not likely to let this go--especially it being an attack by a woman. She was defeated. Weak and shaking, she stared at the man's body. I think tonight I die." Clare Gutierrez is a registered nurse who grew up on a cattle ranch in rural Colorado as one of four children. After living in Carlsbad, NM, for twenty-eight years, she now lives in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. She and her husband, Dr. Beto Gutierrez, host first-class photographers from the world over at Santa Clara Ranch, a 300-acre wildlife sanctuary. Jilliand is her third novel.

Come winter

A thrilling historical tale of destiny set in 1400s England ​Symbol Maker's Daughter takes us on the journey of a singular woman forced from the comfortable life she knows into a world of danger and intrigue that will test her will as never before. While the battle for the throne between Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and Henry Tudor ignites a nation, Lady Nicola Weldon embarks on a perilous road to play her part in ensuring Tudor claims the throne. “She had been unable to open that door when she tried before. Today, the door was cracked open. There was no sound coming from inside. Looking cautiously around behind her, Nicola pushed open the door and stepped in. She had already tiptoed deep into the room when she saw Garrett and Drue. Drue was leaning over Garrett’s lifeless body, which was slumped against the wall. Nicola gasped, and Drue spun around to find her staring at him. 'Nicola, come here,’ he ordered, straightening himself up. Terrified, Nicola began to back away, slowly, step by step, keeping her eyes on Drue. She kept her hand over her mouth to silence a scream as she continued to back away. Drue walked slowly toward her, wiping his hands on a cloth tied around his waist. 'Nicola,’ Drue spoke again as he continued to move toward her, “come here.’”
