Tule author Jamie K. Schmidt moseyed on over over to discuss her new new release, The Cowboy’s Daughter (the first installment in the Three Sisters Ranch series). Bonus: Check out the giveaway below!
Welcome to Tule! What is one thing you can tell our readers that no one else knows about you?
Hi! Thank you! The one thing that no one else knows about me is that I don’t really like coffee. Gasp! I like the effect that the shot of caffeine give me, but in order for me to enjoy it, my coffee can’t taste like coffee. So I doctor it up with heavy cream, and sugar free syrups.
This is the first cowboy book you’ve published. How did your approach to writing this novel differ from your others?
I’ve always loved cowboys. I think they’re so polite, in addition to being sexy and tough. I’ve been to Billy Bob’s Honky Tonk in Texas. That’s where I saw my first professional bull riding event and I was hooked. We took my son when he was little to see a PBR show in the Hartford Civic Center a few years ago. He was scared by all the pyrotechnics, but it was great to see a larger show. When I thought about the Three Sisters Ranch series, I knew that I would have to have a bull rider as a hero.
The relationship between Trent and his daughter, Alissa, is so sweet. Where did you find the inspiration for this?
I’ve found that the men who sowed their wild oats when they were young, really appreciate their daughters and tend to be more protective of them because they are afraid they’ll hook up with someone like they used to be.
What song would be in the soundtrack to Kelly and Trent’s love story?
“I Can Love You Like That” by John Michael Montgomery.
What are you currently reading?
I’m not a faithful reader so I usually have two or three books going on at one time. Currently, I’m reading Helen Hoang’s The Kiss Quotient, Shayne Silver’s Angel’s Roar, and J.D. Robb’s Seduction in Death.
To celebrate the release of The Cowboy’s Daughter, I’d like to
give away a bracelet like the one my hero is wearing on the
cover. Just comment below with “I can’t wait to read this!”
and we’ll pick a winner out at random at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, June 7.

The Cowboy’s Daughter has a very pretty and heartfelt cover. Trent has a second chance to get his relationship with Kelly back on track. I’m glad you decided to let him get to know Alissa.

Which is a fib… I stayed up and finished it last night. You need to give me the rest of the sisters’ books please. And soon too. I love The Three-Sisters Ranch idea and this manly rodeo cowboy that can be broken but a wee child, his child can put all the pieces back together. This was so good.
I REALLY can’t wait to read this! I enjoyed your post today and love the book cover. it is so sweet and inspiring. I love the song you picked out too. I agree with how you described cowboys, tough, sexy and the most polite of all men. I had one at Walmart one time insist on helping me load groceries into the trunk of my car even after I told him I had it.
I can’t wait to read this!
Though I’m half way done already and love it!! Can’t wait for the next one to come out!!!
