I remember Kasota Springs! Fun stuff. :-) We didn't actually stop in Pecos. We had too many hours to drive that day (12), so we just blew right by. I might have to go back when I can spend more time and check out the Judge's place. Thanks, Linda. I remember Kasota Springs! Fun stuff. :-)

I honestly think Pecos was the first to have a rodeo. But the Prescott one was undoubtedly larger so it got more publicity. All four stories of our second anthology took place during a rodeo in the fictional town of Kasota Springs. Those were certainly fun stories to write. Rodeos have so much going on that there's never a loss of action. Did you happen to stop and see Judge Roy Bean's place of business while you were in Pecos? I hear it's interesting. Loved your blog.

Fabulous! I have to admit that you won't usually find me in the rodeo crowd. I'm more likely to be at home with my nose in a book featuring an historic cowboy, but I sure do respect the skill it takes to do what those modern rodeo cowboys do!
