Celia Hayes has always been passionately interested in the history of the American frontier. She was brought up in an eccentric, baby-boom family which formed the basis of a memoir, Our Grandpa Was an Alien. She earned a degree in English, served for 20 years in the US Air Force, and another ten years as a secretary and office administrator in various large and small business enterprises. Currently, she is the owner of Watercress Press, a small local subsidy press specializing in local history.
Her first novel, To Truckee’s Trail, grew out of a fascination with the California emigrant trail. The Adelsverein Trilogy, and its companion novels – Daughter of Texas, Deep in the Heart, The Quivera Trail, and Sunset & Steel Rails drew on an interest in the German settlement of the Texas Hill Country, and the dramatic sweep of history in the Lone Star State. She has also authored a collection of adventures intended for younger readers, Lone Star Sons, set in the time of the Republic of Texas. With her daughter, Jeanne Hayden, she has also co-authored Chronicles of Luna City, and The Second Chronicle of Luna City, a collection of comic short stories set in present-day small town South Texas. The third volume of Luna City stories is due out in November, 2016, as well as another historical novel about the California Gold Rush -- The Golden Road.

Chronicles of Luna City

Welcome to Luna City, Karnes County, Texas ... population 2,456, give or take. Fugitive former celebrity chef Richard Astor-Hall is beset with new travails in his attempt to build a new life in tiny Luna City: an old girlfriend turns up as the bride at a lavish society wedding, the original family of his pet cat and cooking partner, Captain Kitten in the Kitchen, turn up and demand that the cat be returned to them ... and his junior staff want to enter a chili-cooking contest. And then there is the matter of the long-lost artistic treasure, the Gonzaga Reliquary, which may still be hidden somewhere around the old Gonzalez fmaily home ranch! Folklore, home folks and gentle comedy abound in this eighth visit to the most perfect small town in Texas!
