Hello, everyone! I hope the year is off to a great start and you’re surviving whatever Mother Nature has sent your way. Here in Northeastern Indiana, it’s been snowier than usual. And while the snow-covered landscape is pretty, I’m itching for spring to roll in any day now.
Crazy weather aside, this time of year mirror’s the beginning timeline for my February book release—THE RODEO COWBOY’S REDEMPTION. Galentine’s Day (the day before Valentine’s Day) is when we first see Norah and Rhett’s worlds collide (literally) and frustrations flare. And, oh, did I have fun writing these two!
Stubborn? Check.
Independent? Check Check.
Sexual Tension? Check, Check, and Check.
Where these two don’t immediately match is their relationships with their families. The Miles family is close-knit and supportive, even protective at times. They’re the kind of family Rhett Foster only wishes he had as a kid. And honestly, being Jaxon Miles’s best friend, he did spend a good deal of time around them growing up. But his own family life is a bit messier, and the relationship with his dad…tenuous at best.
Which made falling for Norah Miles that much more complicated. There are rules in this new, post-rodeo reality that must be followed and lines not to cross. Just like “there’s no crying in baseball”, Rhett’s father is adamant that “though shalt not date our client”. But when the heart gets involved, sometimes hard and fast rules get stretched…
In addition to guiding this couple through their family and relationship redemption minefields, I also enjoyed incorporating the cabin renovations project into the story. I was on the tail end of a “refresh” project in my own home, and could relate to Norah agonizing over colors and textures, themes and decorations. When you put in all that time and work, you want to cross the finish line with a “product” to be proud of. The way my brain works, there is usually a LOT of contemplation over major (and sometimes even minor) design changes. I’ve been known to take months to settle on a new paint color for rooms in my house. LOL
So far, @myorangeeditor has approved of all the interior design changes. Though, he’d prefer I spend less time helping install LVP or backsplash tile and more time at my computer desk…
Speaking of writing—have you heard the news? I’ve signed on with Tule to continue our time together at the Flying J Ranch! Stay tuned for more books to come with all of your favorite cast members from The Miles of Montana series. And I’ll even offer you a hint about the female lead in book 1 of the new series: her last name isn’t Miles, but you do get to meet her in THE RODEO COWBOY’S REDEMPTION… 😉
I hope you simply devour the latest Miles of Montana book, and stay tuned for more news on the follow-up Flying J Ranch series!
