My thanks to all the fillies of Pistols and Petticoats for inviting me to share their blog space today and pose some questions about what defines a novel as a western historical romance?

In Running Wild, Linda Howard and I (Linda Jones) put a woman on the run in Wyoming during the wintertime. We’re both Alabama girls, so trying to do the setting justice took some research. Not that either of us was dedicated enough to actually experience a Wyoming winter. :-) Carlin Reed, off the grid in [...]
Today, I’m celebrating my latest novel release, TEMPTATION’S TOUCH. It’s a contemporary romantic suspense novel—not what I usually write. Though this is my second novel in that particular genre, and I have written numerous short stories in that classification, I seemed to struggle with this one.

There’s no place like home, a Western home that is. I’m not talking about a home located in the West but a home decorated Western. Since Petticoats and Pistols is for readers who love the West, old and new, I figured some of you probably bring that love of the West into your homes [...]
Years ago, okay decades ago, when I started reading romances I fell in love with the mail-order bride books.

So a shift to the [...]

I’m missing my annual trip to New York City this year. Which means I’m missing my city fix. When you live twenty five miles away from the nearest town, you start to get a people-itch and nothing but being in a big, crowded, fast-moving city will cure it. New York is my favorite.

WILD TEXAS ROSE, my 25th historical romance will be out on August 7th and I believe it just might be my best. I decided to write it in a different style than usual—a more modern approach. This story is fast moving when four heroes get together to stop the outlaws. All are very different men: one a [...]
Since my latest book, AGAINST THE SUN, big Jake Cantrell and Sage Dumont’s story, deals with a visit to Texas by a Saudi Arabian sheik and his family, I thought it might be fun to talk about favorite places in the sun. With temperatures that reach higher than 120 degrees, Saudi Arabia would definitely not [...]

They say if you want anything done, ask a busy person. I smile when I hear that, because it is so true. Busy people know how to get things done. They know the value of slots of time. They can adjust and think with an organized brain. This was ME up until five years [...]
In my latest release, BRIDE OF THE HIGH COUNTRY, I had to get my main characters from NY to Heartbreak Creek, CO. Since the Transcontinental had been finished the previous year (1869), I picked the train. Oops. Even though train travel had been available in the east for three decades, cross-country hauls were rare. [...]
What is a mentor? I searched out quotes on mentors to see what people had to say. Here are some of my favorites: A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you. Bob Proctor, Author, Speaker and Success Coach The [...]
