In October, New York Times Bestselling Author Linda Broday came by to talk about her love of Texas and a brand new series that starts with her latest novel, To Love A Texas Ranger. 

The series revolves around a Texas family dynasty that she compared to Bonanza's Cartwrights. 

What is the name of her new series?

Men of Legend

Kaki Warner shared her latest book, Texas Tall, and talked to us about what it means to love someone: “Loving someone means you give up total self-absorption and include another person in your life, warts and all. In other words, it’s not only about you anymore, so get over yourself. It means you accept the other person as he/she is, not as you wish he/she could be. You have to learn to trust, to forgive, to support, and to wisely pick your battles. Keep your expectations real, your demands reasonable, and your promises true. And if you don’t get back the same respect, honor and love you offer, then kick him /her to the curb and move on. Life’s too short and you deserve to have the best one possible.” 

Kaki and her husband just celebrated a milestone anniversary. Do you know which one? 

50 years!

Award-winning author Jacqui Nelson has been a regular guest on

Get Lost In A Story. She and I met back in 2010 when we were both finalists for the RWA's prestigious Golden Heart award for Historical Romance. Her writing has won numerous awards, and it's no surprise. She has an amazing talent and a unique voice well suited for Western historical romance.

Jacqui credits her love for the Western genre to two things. Do you know what they are?

Classic Western movies and growing up on a cattle ranch.

This year I launched a brand new series, The Bride Train, which follows women who answer a railroad advertisement seeking single young ladies to become brides for settlers on the Western frontier. 

What are the names of the heroines in the first three books? 

(Hint: the names are part of the titles)

Rose, Charm, Prudence

This summer, Prairie Rose Publications released a special box set, A Kiss To Remember.

What is the name of this series?

Last Hope Ranch

USA Today Bestselling Author Rosanne Bittner stopped in September 4, release day for the third book in her Outlaw series, Love’s Sweet Revenge.
