Episode #89. Award-winning author Kimberly Burns joins hosts Jim and Bobbi Jean Bell to chat about her two historical books. THE MRS. TABOR and THE REDEMPTION OF MATTIE SILKS. Tune in for an informative and engaging conversation about these two Western women and the way they chose to “make it in a man’s world” – 1890’s Denver and beyond. Both books are based on true stories. Baby Doe (Mrs. Tabor) seeks her fortune the best way she knows how- marrying a rich man. Madam Mattie Silks makes her fortune catering to Colorado’s gold and silver millionaires. We talk in-depth about Kimberly Burns’ research, their lives, the similarities between “then and now,” and why historical fiction is an important genre.
