Ginnie West Adventures

FAMILY ISN'T ALWAYS BLOOD...

  • Real family are the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are and love you... no matter what.
  • Our stories are forged from lived experience: 100+ foster kids and cowboy wisdom you can’t imitate.
  • Parents share them with their children, teachers add our books to reading lists, and women read them on their own — proof the stories satisfy both heart and mind.

Hi! We are Monique & GL...

...Authors of the Ginnie West Adventures.

We began writing for kids and soon realized adults like our books, too.

We'd like to invite you and yours to our series set on "Heart of the Wests" farm.

When you're here... you're family.

Come on in, make yourself at home, and visit awhile.
