"Her Heart is A Rodeo" was written and performed by Dustin Craig. In the March/April issue of America's Horse was a two page story on The Silver Heart book and the American Quarter Horses Association being written into the story of The Silver Heart.

Lee Gibson has been friends with Samantha Sheridan for a long time and when she updated The Silver Heart she had to add his song to the story. She needed a love song the couple could dance to and "Long Slow Night" was perfect for the story line. Lee Gibson wrote and performs "Long Slow Night". Go to leegibsonmusic.com to purchase the song.

In Loving Memory of Craig J. Martin
"I Have a Dream"
Samantha Sheridan would like to remember Craig J. Martin who passed unexpectedly July 3, 2020. Samantha talked to Craig in 2019 about featuring the song "I Have A Dream" as well as himself in the book, "Smoky Mountain Romance". Craig was happy to be part of the project.
​
From Samantha: "I knew when I heard this song it was perfect for my book and to add Craig into the story was even better. He is the nicest man and a friend of mine told me more about him after he passed away. I wish I had gotten to spend more time with him before he passed away. I did send him the sections of the book he was written into so he was able to see himself in the book and how he was portrayed. We miss you Craig and I am so happy you let me include you in my book so your memory could live on."
Silent Night, Mark Preston
Smoky Mountain Romance
​
When I began working on a simple Christmas video to highlight the holiday chapters in Smokey Mountains Romance, I knew I needed a song that carried both peace and emotion. Fortunately, Mark Preston had recorded a beautiful rendition of “Silent Night,” and it was absolutely perfect.
​
Mark’s smooth, heartfelt performance captured exactly what I imagined the residents of Kenton, Tennessee would have sung for their firemen and paramedics as they fought the fire on the mountain. His voice brings warmth, reverence, and the true spirit of Christmas to the story.
​
A special thank-you to Mark Preston for allowing me to use his recording. Please visit www.markprestonsinger.com to purchase one of his Christmas albums—or explore his many other beautiful recordings.
​
And from my heart to yours, prayers go out to all emergency room staff, firefighters, and paramedics—may each of you return home safely after every shift.
