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 2,454. Joe Vaughn, the stalwart chief of the Luna City Police Department, wants to keep that figure at that – if he has anything to say …
But fugitive former celebrity chef, Richard Astor-Hall (formerly Rich Hall, the Bad Boy Chef) now contentedly managing the Luna Café and Coffee – has had a significant person from his past catch up to him.
The seven-year-old son of Richard’s assistant chef and head waitress at the Café found a priceless gold coin in the chicken enclosure at Mills Farm during their widely-publicized yearly Easter Egg Hunt. Is this fabulous coin proof of the existence of the fabled Charley Mills Treasure? No matter; either way, the amateur and professional treasure-hunters are out in force, their attention bent upon Mills Farm, the high-end resort property just down the road from Luna City…
Then there is the major Hollywood movie production company doing location shoots – but what is the movie really about? When producer and director claim that it is a sweeping and historically-accurate account of an epochal event in Texas history, are they being entirely truthful?
Luna City, where eccentricity is just a part of every-day life. Drop in for a visit – you might never want to leave.
