The original manuscript for Yellowstone Heart Song included a prologue and several chapters at the beginning, before Aimee time travels, that didn't make it into the final book.
While I made the chapters available here on my blog for a while, they are now available for download directly to your e-reader of choice.

I so enjoyed this, I didn't want the Yellowstone series to end and this just brought it all back to me. Maybe we could get a book six? Love your work!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Connie! I would love to keep the series going. Who knows? I might come back to it at some point. I've got a few other stories I'd like to explore for a while. So glad you enjoyed this series!
DeleteSo fantastic! I love having more of the back story to show some of the redeeming qualities of Zach. In your first book, he seems selfish and a bit manipulative. Here we see him as a loving husband, primarily concerned for the well-being of his wife and unborn child, as well as concern for a complete stranger (the old indian in the snow). Thank you so much for sharing this! ~ Barb O.
ReplyDeleteHey Barb,
DeleteZach's sympathetic side got cut in the editing, I'm afraid. Hopefully these chapters will let you see him in a different light.
I actually kind of like the guy now! He seems much more like a friendly grandpa in the latest chapter! I can't wait to read more!
DeleteThank you for sharing this. I loved the Yellowstone series. This just helped to understand how it all started out better.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the series, Winona. It's always painful to cut things when writing, and these chapters, I was told, didn't need to be there. Too much back story.......but I'm happy that I can share these with you now, in this way.
DeleteFor me I would have loved to have had this part of Zack's story in the beginning . It was a great series and I also would like to read more from it, maybe in the future.... Thanks again for this look into Zack's beginning. Deanna P.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Deanna. When I first submitted this story, I was told by people who knew more about writing than I do that these chapters needed to go, that the prologue gave away too much of the mystery at the beginning, and that the hero and heroine needed to meet sooner than in (what would have been) chapter five. I tried to weave a lot of it back into the final book later on, but obviously it couldn't be told the way it is here in these chapters. It's always such a fine line, trying to balance how much back story to include, and what to leave out.
DeleteYellowstone Heart Song is my first book. One thing I have learned on this journey is to follow my own gut instinct, and although I weigh the opinions of others very carefully, I tend to be much less influenced by them in my writing now, and write the stories how I think they should play out.
DeletePeggy thus is the first book I have read of yours and I absolutely LOVEDIT!!I am gaining to continue reading the series just to see where it goes. I've dead some of the other comments here and was also wondering why you didn't include these chapters, but I understand now. Since this was your first book (as you said in one of your comments here) you did a fabulous job!!! Ive loved reading tome travel novels since instated reading (won't say how long lol, this was by far the BEST one I have ever read. I've got a little book I write authors names in that I discover, especially when I find a new author that writes a suburb novel. (I don't remember names so well now that I have MS) And I definitely want to read more from you. Splendid job this this book!! I'll be sure to leave this as a review to this book, Yellowstone Heart Song (I had to look the name up, told you about the memory thing lol)
DeleteTina

Hi Sharon,
Deletethank yo so much for taking the time to comment on the blog. I'm thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the books. (and a huge thank you for leaving reviews on Amazon! I'm making an assumption that the reviewer named Sharon is you!) Please keep in touch.
Peggy
YEP!! It was I Peggy!! I have now finished all of them!! I loved them. I would have loved to have know what happened when Dan Osborne's boss returned to modern day!
DeleteI just now found this Prologue. Thanks for publishing it. I enjoyed it. The first book in the series was my favorite but I loved them all!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Sharon
I so loved this series of time travel historical romances. I read all 5 in less than a week. I just couldn't stop reading them. I just stumbled on this site and read this Prologue. Thank you! I am so enjoying reading more about the Yellowstone series. I also just finished Book 1 of the second chances time travel romance series, Come Home To Me. I'm looking forward to Book 2. I guess it's not finished yet. While I'm waiting for Ain't No Angel, I just purchased and downloaded Book 1 of the Teton Romance Trilogy. I can't wait to start reading it. I love your writing. It feels like I'm living in the story.
ReplyDeleteThank you,
Brenda
P.S.: I also "Liked" your FB page :-)
Hi Brenda,
DeleteThanks for stopping by over here on the blog as well as on the FB page! What a great start to my day! Thank you so much for the nice comments.
Book 2 in Second Chances (Ain't No Angel), and the final book in the Teton Trilogy, will hopefully be finished before the year is over.
Peggy
I've just finished book 1, and naturally I had to buy book 2 to see what happened next. Now I need to get the rest of the series, as I know I'll "have" to buy them too! Love your writing skills.
ReplyDeleteHi Deb,
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by! So glad you enjoyed Heart Song. I hope you like the rest of the series.
Good morning, I just found you and finished the first book-read it twice so I wouldn't miss anything. Found your blog-and wow this should have been part of the book for sure-surprised it was not included-but so happy I found this-
ReplyDeleteI just purchased the rest of the books last night-totally loved this story, if I had the chance to go back in time this is where I would want to go, my mind is always back in this time period-Merry Christmas
Really enjoyed this story. Looking forward to getting another one.
ReplyDeleteLarry Wilson
I just finished Yellowstone Heart Song and it was amazing!! I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna! So glad you enjoyed Heart Song! :D
DeleteThank you for sharing I look forward to the rest of thier srory.
ReplyDeleteI completely love the Yellowstone Series, and would love to see them turned into a movie, along with the Teton Series. You keep taking our imagination on fantastic journey's to the past..Never stop making our dreams come to life on paper...
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your writing style and plan to read all your books. You are also added to my list of favorite authors. I too felt as if I was a part of the story and living it. Looking forward to more of your style, plots and beautiful romances.
