We are thrilled to have you visiting today.
With the huge give away going on what item are you offering to our wonderful readers?
I’m giving away a beautiful Montana Silversmiths BC Cross-Over-Heart bracelet.
Can you tell us a little about yourself?
I was born a city girl with an ingrained love of horses. My husband and I spent many years
traveling the Northwest competing at rodeos. When I began writing, I wanted to put a realistic
view of rodeo and ranching into western romance. I live on a farm in Oregon with my husband,
Dizzy Dottie, the border collie, two Munchkin cats and an ever varying number of cattle and
horses.
What genres do you like to write?
I write contemporary romance. Most of my heros and heroines are rodeo cowboys and cowgirls,
and my books generally have a touch of magic.
What is your newest release?
The title of my debut novel is Sugarwater Ranch.
What are you working on right now?
I’m working on the sequel to Sugarwater Ranch. This is Sissy’s story.
Any future projects you can hint about?
I have a story I’m working on set in Trinidad, Colorado, which just happens to be the sex chan
capital of the world. There might or might not be aliens and cross dressers. There is definitely a
great love story.
As a writer can you give aspiring authors any advice or some of your wisdom??
The best advice I ever got came from Cheri Adair, who says, “Finish the damn book”. In other
words, you can’t be published if you haven’t finished the manuscript.
If you could meet one character from your books who would it be and why?
I’d love to meet Junior from Sugarwater Ranch. He has a heart of gold, and his ability to read
other people’s intentions would make for interesting conversations.
Are there any other people or authors that have inspired you or helped you along the way?
My mom and my husband. Mom has shown me I can do anything if I apply myself, and my
husband has been my biggest cheerleader. I’ve also been lucky enough to have outstanding
critique partners and a supportive RWA chapter.
How about some fun stuff?
I was born a horse-crazy city girl who managed to marry a cowboy and train barrel horses for a
living. Oh, and I raised Munchkins. No, not little people. My Munchkins are cats who have short
legs similar to Corgis and dachshunds.
What is you fav activity besides writing?
Riding my horse and barrel racing at rodeos.
Do you own any pets?
We are owned by Dizzy Dottie, the border collie and two Munchkin cats, Magic and Martin. We
currently have two horses, Snake and Buckwheat that we use for roping and barrel racing.
Fav place to travel?
The Oregon coast in summer and the central Idaho mountains any time.
Fav author you can recommend to our readers? (can have more than one)
With so many wonderful writers, it’s hard to choose. Jennifer Crusie and Susan Elizabeth
Phillips are on my short list. If I had to pick one, today, I’d choose Sarah Addison Allen. Her
contemporary romances with a touch of magic are unforgettable.
Fav book (same question as above) Allen’s Sugar Queen and Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander.
Who doesn’t love Jamie?
