Something not a lot of people know: My husband is my writing partner.
This isn’t true for a lot of married couples. I’m always surprised by how many authors talk about how their spouse doesn’t know anything about their books, and doesn’t care to know. Like…
I just have no comprehension of that. None.
Handsome Hubby and I co-write a lot of my books; we also plot together extensively.
News flash: I am awful at plotting. I really am. If you stuck me in a room by myself for a week (sliding food periodically under the door, of course – let’s at least not starve me to death) and told me that I had to plot a whole novel by myself, at the end of the week, you’d have a notebook full of doodles and an author looking slightly crazed.
I tried one time. I really tried. I was going to plot my own novel, dammit! I could do this! I didn’t need Handsome Hubby! I am an independent woman – hear me roar!!!
Two weeks later, Handsome Hubby and I went on a drive together, and plotted out my next novel. I’d managed to do…well, absolutely nothing on my new novel in those two weeks.
Here’s the honest-to-God truth about why I am incapable of plotting: I don’t want anyone to be unhap-py. Ever. Not even the fictional people that I would just be theoretically torturing on paper. They don’t exist, and I still want them to be happy!
Even as I type this, I know I sound nuts. But it’s true. And novels full of happy people just going about their day? Those aren’t novels. There’s no plot. People have to overcome problems and work through issues and fight and laugh and cry and love and hate and yell in order to actually have a story. My boring characters would go to work and come home and pay their bills and never yell at anyone and by page ten, even I would be yawning.
So, I rely on my husband to help me come up with non-yawn-worthy plots. And he does a bang-up job of it, if I do say so myself. :) #notbiasedatall So far, I have a farmer who is struggling to save his family’s farm, a guy who hates Christmas, a bull rider chasing a bull around the circuit that almost killed him, a guy who punches out his ex-brother-in-law and ends up in jail for it, a guy who finds out about a son he didn’t know he had, and a cowboy who has some serious internal problems that I can’t tell you about yet because that book hasn’t been released.
And that’s just the guys! I can’t tell you all about the women of these stories, lest I give away all of my plots. Needless to say, my female characters are just as strong and weak and complicated and wonderful as my male characters. No pansy-ass women in my stories; no siree bob.
Anyway, all of that ^^ is because of my husband, so…thank you, Handsome Hubby. You’re my favorite husband this week.
And I mean it!

Contemporary Western Romance
Is
she the answer to his dreams … or the person who will be forced to
destroy them?
He’s
a farmer, dammit, not a bookkeeper
When
Stetson Miller inherits his father’s farm in Idaho, he’s too
focused on crops and yields to pay attention to the financial side of
things. The next thing he knows, he’s got a stack of unpaid bills,
the bank is threatening to foreclose … and the auditor who’s come
to examine his accounts is the sexiest thing he’s ever laid eyes on.
But she’s a city girl, just like the last one who left him at the
altar. He’ll guard his heart – but he can’t help wanting her.
She’s
checking him out … in more ways than one
Jennifer
Kendall doesn’t mind a tough job, but the handsome Stetson is
trouble of a different kind. When he isn’t making her mad, he’s
filling her head with all sorts of forbidden fantasies.
The
sparks between them fly even faster when the road washes out and
Jennifer has to spend the night on the farm. But passion alone won’t
pay the bills. Can Jennifer find a way for Stetson to save his farm?
And
if she can’t, will he ever forgive her?

country boy who hates Christmas for a reason, dammit …
When
Luke Nash runs into Stetson Miller down at the feed store, he never

song. And the rugged cowboy definitely has
no desire to kiss a girl under the mistletoe. No matter how
infuriatingly pretty she might be.
A
city girl who loves Christmas …
Bonnie Patterson adores Christmas, so when her best friend Jennifer invites
her to spend Christmas at the Miller farm, she jumps at the chance.
When she sets out for the snowy country town, she has visions dancing
in her head of cozy nights by a crackling fire, not of
a hot cowboy with an ice-cold heart.
The
Storm of the Century…
Instead
of a peaceful holiday in the country, Bonnie gets stranded at the
Miller farm by a blizzard. Even worse, she’s snowed-in with Luke,
an arrogant, impossible, but damn sexy cowboy.

the fly sparks, will two people who are oh-so-different find their
own Christmas miracle?

But
when the rodeo brings him to the tiny mountain town of Sawyer, Idaho,
he comes face to face with everything he lost.
For
nine years, Chloe Bartell hasn’t been able to forget the man who

he never knew he had. Dawson demands answers but Chloe is determined
