One of the best pieces of advice an editor gave me when I
first started writing was to write what you know. Not only will the story come
to you easier, but your readers will believe your story.
Writing about cowboys, country living, and about the working
man is part of my life. It’s the people I know, the community I live in, and the
people in my family.
Most of all, I like to write about cowboys. What other kind
of man can pluck you out of the store, haul you over their shoulder, and
disappear from sight without having the police called? This same man who’ll
tell you exactly what he means in the roughest language, and bring you a
handful of daisy’s an hour later. He’s tough enough to dominate the rankest
bull, and tender enough to cup his newborn niece in the palm of his hands. He’s
dependable and rough around the edges, but when he falls in love…he falls hard.
Not to mention, boots, Levi’s, and a cowboy hat. He doesn’t
need pretty words. One look, and you know exactly what he wants.
If you were asked to write about the kind of men you know, how would
you describe them?
Margot’s
Lawman
It's hard to keep a secret in the small town of Pike,
Montana, but veterinarian Margot McDougal and sheriff Roy Lee Hanson managed to
keep their relationship on the sly for months. Margot cares for Roy Lee, but
the last thing she needs is to worry about local gossip while she's busy
running her clinic and dealing with the loss of her beloved father.
Roy Lee can't wait to tell the world that he loves Margot.
He respected her decision to keep their affair quiet—until now. It's time for
everyone to know Margot is his gal...especially Ryan Martin, her new assistant.
He's formed an attachment to Margot and Roy Lee is sure the city boy's
unexplained appearance in Pike means he's up to no good.
Margot just wants to help Ryan fit in, and Roy Lee's
jealousy soon drives a wedge between them. A wedge that only increases when
Margot is roped into Ryan's secret, too...
Multi-published romance
author Debra Kayn lives in the beautiful Coastal Mountains of Oregon on a hobby
farm. Her love of animals includes dogs, chickens, goats, rabbits, turkeys,
geese, and yes...pigs. The peacefulness of a flowing creek across her property
provides an excellent spot to read a book on a summer day, go swimming, and
catch the ever-elusive fish using a pink sparkly fishing pole. Meeting her
husband on a blind date in her teens made her a true believer in love and
romance, and she can promise you that all her books will have a
happily-ever-after.
