Fortunes Host âMembers-Onlyâ Party
In the wake of Miranda Fortuneâs shocking revelation about bearing twins out of wedlock comes the next revelation.

The Pregnant Heiress
Eileen Wilks
EILEEN WILKS
is a fifth-generation Texan. Her great-great-grandmother came to Texas in a covered wagon shortly after the end of the Civil Warâexcuse us, the War Between the States. But sheâs not a full-blooded Texan. Right after another war, her Texan father fell for a Yankee woman. This obviously mismatched pair proceeded to travel to nine cities in three countries in the first twenty years of their marriage, raising two kids and innumerable dogs and cats along the way. For the next twenty years they stayed put, back home in Texas againâand still together.
Eileen figures her professional career matches her nomadic upbringing, since sheâs tried everything from drafting to a brief stint as a ranch handâraising two children and any number of cats and dogs along the way. Not until she started writing did she âstay put,â because thatâs when she knew sheâd come home. Readers can write to her at P.O. Box 4612, Midland, TX 79704-4612.

She smiled a lot. Flynn couldnât figure out why. The elderly couple she was waiting on now could have been excused for thinking sheâd shown up at the truck stop this morning just for the pleasure of looking at the photos the old woman had spread out on the table.
