I love em.
Im a Texan. Born and bred. I wish I could say I grew up on a cattle ranch or had pump jacks working in my backyard, but I cant.
Im from Dallas. My people were doctors, lumbermen, a tinker, merchants, plus a guy in Corrigan who owned a hotel bar livery stable.
He also ran his own personal loan agency, But I did have the good fortune to spend a great deal of time all over the state as a child, a lot of it in West Texas and in the Hill Country.
Ive spent most of my adult life in Austin, San Antonio, and the Hill Country, which aint a bad gig.
I get to go to Luckenbach, Texas, whenever I please, although Willie and Waylon are never there, I do know quite a bit about Texas beer joints, As a kid, I didnt mind listening to stories about how Im a Texan, Born and bred.

I get to go to Luckenbach, Texas, whenever I please, although Willie and Waylon are never there, I do know quite a bit about Texas beer joints, As a kid, I didnt mind listening to stories about how at least five earlier generations of my ancestors had been in the Lone Star State for a long, long time.
Well, in Texas that just meant than a hundred years, This weird kid soaked up the stories, I never got tired of listening, My curiosity sure came in handy when I took up the obsession known as genealogy, That was ions before Ancestry, com came about, back when you had to travel to courthouses or sit and go through reel after reel of census records and so forth to figure out your own little green leaves.
My interest in general history really came in handy when I took up writing both fiction and non fiction.
There are a lot of great things to be said about writing fiction and true storiesI concentrated on stories about people and the history of businessesbut we wont get into that.
I will brag on myself and say that my romance novels were translated into many foreign languages, some of them very foreign, like Japanese, Greek, and Turkish.
On the home front, Im still in the fabulous Texas Hill Country with my husband and our spoiled four legged kids.
The two legged younguns have grown up and moved on, We have four fabulous grandkidsa granddaughter and three grandsons, plus a wee great granddaughter, I find it simply amazing that Istill a young chick writing hot love stories and cleaner stories about men and women trying to tame this place called Texas!have lived long enough to enjoy a great grandchild.
Methat chick with great grandparents who were involved in the Civil War, Two were Confederates, one was a Union soldier, and then there was the fellow who owned slaves but wouldnt fight for the South.
Dont get me startedI have lots of tales to tell! I do love to write about historical events and oddball people.
Oh! I forgot to tell you, I hail from a family of writers, On the Yankee side of my family, I wouldnt have known that if I hadnt listened to what the elders had to say, And, boy howdy, could they spin the tales, See there. You pick up all sorts of stories, when you listen to what the old folks have to say.
One is an author hereabouts, but I won't embarrass her by naming her! Thanks for stopping by and listening to what I have to say.
If you've read one of my books and enjoyed it, thank you, If you didn't enjoy it, try another one, I think I've finally come to realize what makes these stories tick, This new method got started with HIS RIP ROARIN' BRIDE, Would appreciate if you'd let me know what you think, sitelink.
