Wild Cowboy Ways

SOMETIMES ALL LOVE NEEDS IS A LITTLE LUCK

Preorder from Amazon | B&N

Allie Logan isn't the type to land a hot hunk of cowboy. Truth is, she's given up on dating since shedding her no-good ex. But the new owner of the most ramshackle ranch in Texas might just change her mind about that. He's six-foot-plus of tall, dark, and charming-the kind of guy who could make a girl throw caution to the wind . . . or the kind of guy who could break her heart.

Blake Dawson hopes he can make Lucky Penny Ranch finally live up to its name, but the property needs a ton of work. Allie and her carpentry skills are his best shot at getting things in order. Besides the fact that her brown eyes and dangerous curves have him roped and tied. Now Blake only needs to convince her that a wild cowboy can be tamed by love-and she's just the one to do it . . .

Here's an excerpt:

    Leaving wet footprints on the floor and dripping water as he disappeared into his bedroom, he whistled a tune that she recognized as “Honey Bee” by Blake Shelton. In a few minutes he returned, dressed in gray sweat bottoms and a long-sleeved thermal shirt. He carried a towel in one hand and a hairbrush in the other.

    “Slide forward about a foot,” he said.

    When she did, he settled in behind her, one long muscular leg on each side of her body. He towel-dried her hair and then massaged her scalp with his fingertips. Her body felt like a rag doll and yet every nerve was on high alert, wanting more, begging for his wonderful hands to touch them, also.

    “Mmmm,” she murmured..

    “Is it making it feel better?” he drawled.

    Then he started brushing her hair and a whole new set of emotions surfaced. She was afraid to move an inch for fear she’d find out this was all a dream and she would wake up with a grinding hangover, or worse yet, in her lonely bed at home.

    His hands grazed her cheeks as he pulled her damp hair back to run the brush through it. Then he leaned forward and kissed her softly on the side of her neck.

    “We were going to talk,” she whispered.

    “We are talkin’, darlin’. We’ll use words when necessary,” he said softly.

Wild Cowboy Ways is the first book in the Lucky Penny Series. It is followed by Hot Cowboy Nights (May, 2016), Merry Cowboy Christmas (Sept. 2016) and Wicked Cowboy Charm (Jan./Feb. 2017)

Q&A

EE: What’s your favorite kind of story to get lost in?

Carolyn: I’m a very eclectic reader and I enjoy everything from the back of the cereal boxes to Faulkner. If the writing is good and the characters are real, it is my favorite story until the next day when I pick up another book.

EE: Why did you start writing?

Carolyn: Because there were characters in my head and they wouldn’t shut up until I told their stories.

EE: What inspires you daily? 

Carolyn: My characters inspire me hourly and daily. They keep telling me their stories, often times arguing or even pouting about which one gets the most lines or time on the page.

EE: Is writing or storytelling easier for you?

Carolyn: Writing for sure. I’d rather write for six hours as talk for six minutes!

EE: Which of your characters would you most/least to invite to dinner, and why?

Carolyn: In Wild Cowboy Ways, I’d love to invite Allie and Blake and Irene, Allie’s grandmother to dinner. It would be a hoot to talk to them in reality.

EE: Do you write while listening to music? If so what kind?

Carolyn: Sometimes and if I do it’s most usually country music. I’ve even been accused of pimping country music in my books. Right nice compliment if you ask me!

EE: Is there a playlist you’d recommend for reading your latest release?

Carolyn: Anything country but throw in a little bit of Etta James because I listened to her when I was writing the scene about Frankie’s in Wild Cowboy Ways. When I was writing The Wedding Pearls, I listened to the old country artists: Conway Twitty, George Jones and even “Waltz Across Texas” by Ernest Tubb (and I’m not real fond of him.)

EE: If you could interview one person who would it be?

Carolyn: Moses. Just think of all the stories he could tell. All those years he was with those folks in the desert: think of the love stories, the heartaches and all the emotions he experienced during that time with his people.

EE:Which era would you least like to have lived in, fashion-wise and why? Most?

Carolyn: Although I’d like to go meet Miss Scarlett and Mammy, I’m not so sure I’d like those corsets. My "most" would have been in the 1920’s. I love those flapper dresses with all that fringe and the hats were so cool.

EE: What’s something you’d like to tell your fans?

Carolyn: That I love every one of you. Without you there would be absolutely no place in the world for authors. Our fans are truly the wind beneath our wings.
