While an English major at college, I wrote a column which was published weekly. I have been writing ever since. The old West and Los Angeles in the forties are eras which lend themselves to tales of romance, courage, and fast paced adventure. I particularly enjoy writing stories about the mail order brides who fearlessly took a chance and traveled West, hoping to find love and a better future. Many of the locales that I write about are places that I have either traveled through or actually lived in. I try to make my works richly accurate. My desire is to provide you with an entertaining and fun read. When I'm not writing, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children.

Mail Order Bride - Kenneth Markson
To my wife and children, always.
Chapter 1
Betsy Warner glanced apprehensively outside the window of the old home which she shared with her father. The heaviest rainfall which she had ever seen, had pounded the town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania continually for several days. She listened to the sound of the rain beating against the worn roof, which had already sprung several leaks during the storm.
Betsy was a pretty young woman of eighteen, with long blonde hair and soft blue eyes. At that moment, her face held a worried expression as she waited for her father to return home from the factory. Like so many other inhabitants of the town, Thomas Warner was a steel worker.
Betsy's father worked at the factory at the northern edge of town. Johnstown was known for the fine quality of its steel. Steel was the product which kept the growing area prosperous, and gave most of its residents work.
Won't this incessant rain ever stop, Betsy thought to herself. In her young life, she had never experienced a storm quite like it. Folks were already saying, she reflected, that this was the most rainfall on record.
But Betsy was concerned primarily about her father. It was already dark, and he still hadn't returned home from the factory. The howling winds were getting worse, and the streets were filling with water.
She breathed a sigh of relief, when she heard a loud rapping on the front door. Betsy felt a strong gust, as she quickly let her father in and slammed the door shut.
I'm so glad you're back here safe, pa,
she smiled. The weather outside is terrible.
Betsy,
he said wearily, as he took off his soaked woolen coat, I'm drenched to the bone.
Betsy helped her father take his jacket off, and he slumped exhausted into a chair. She handed him a cup of hot soup, which she had prepared.
Quick pa,
she said, have some of this, so you won't catch a death of cold.
Thomas Warner smiled at his daughter, as he drank the hot broth. His tired brown eyes glanced at her affectionately.
This hits the spot, Betsy,
he said, as she filled his cup again.
Betsy had never known her mother. She had died shortly after her birth. Her father was all she had, and the bond between them was strong.
When her father had been sufficiently warmed by the broth, they both sat down at their small wooden table, and ate the dinner which Betsy had cooked.
How was your day, pa?
she asked.
Same as usual,
her father replied. But this constant rain, is putting everyone on edge.
Betsy patted her father comfortingly on the
