About The Books


Publication Date: February 14, 2016

Analise Becke writes romance with western heroes, men she has dreamed up by combining the looks of her favorite western actor with the qualities she discovers in her online chats with the Texas rancher, Riley Morgan. She's cooked up more than a few fantasies about Riley over the last year, but knows them for what they are -- fantasies of a lonely woman whose marriage is falling apart.

Riley looks forward to the online chats more than he is willing to admit but has never considered asking what she looks like. She's just an online friend. Yeah, they have a connection, but certainly not enough to even consider that a face-to-face meeting will spark anything other than a solidification of their friendship.

Liz is an enigma. A woman who can handle a thoroughbred race horse better than half a dozen experienced jockeys, and one who is keeping secrets. Like why that thoroughbred horse won't run for anyone but her. Those secrets may make her more appealing but also make her dangerous.

Cassie, her older and not nearly as talented sibling is determined to discover what happened to her sibling, but the closer she gets to the truth, the more danger she faces.

What's your favorite song lyric?

"Give peace a chance."

Where is your happy place? Why does it bring you joy?

I love being at the beach, the ocean's vastness puts my existence into perspective. I also love being with my grandchildren as the innocence and wonder and yes, wisdom of the children brings me joy and hope.

Which book from your childhood or teenage years has stuck with you as an adult?

So many. Oh, how about ROSEMARY'S BABY by Ira Levin or . . .wait . . . maybe ON THE BEACH by Nevil Shute or 1984 by George Orwell, or either REBECCA by Daphne du Maurier or JANE EYRE by Charlotte Bronte. Oh, geez, this is hard. There are so many great books that I loved and still love.

You wouldn’t be caught dead, where?

I wouldn't be caught dead in a singles bar or on a big game hunt. Wow--are they kinda the same thing?

If you could require the president to read one book, what would it be?

I guess it would be FAIL-SAFE by Eugene Burdick and Harvey Wheeler, or again, ON THE BEACH.

What's your favorite quote or scene from After She's Gone?

Hmmm . . . I liked the scene where Cassie and her husband meet again, and any scene with the detective was fun for me to write.

Do you have a motto, quote or philosophy you live by?

Again, there are so many. But in general: "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade."
