Loretta: Forbidden Son a vintage romance with political overtones, is my first non-western romance. Actually, I was testing the waters to see if I could write in different genre. My intention was to write a sweet, homey, inspirational romance. However, my hero and heroine had different ideas. They wanted to have sex. Once I allowed the characters to dictate the story the plot took a totally different direction than my original plans for the book.

Loretta,
Thanks so much for sharing your new release with us.
I know this is a new genre for you. Do you think you'll write another story in this genre or go back to the Westerns? Or pen tales for both?
Which genre did you find more challenging?
I love stories where the couple has a second chance to fall in love. This sounds really good.
So you write westerns, too. My favorite next to historical romance.
I'm always curious about authors and their characters.Do you have a favorite character in one of your books? If so, why?
I left a message earlier today, but Blogger musta ate it for lunch. I love your excerpt. Even though it's brief, it says so much. Can't wait to read this one. Much luck to you.
Hi Loretta,
Your story sounds good. How did you like your book cover? Is it what you expected?
Is this full length story?
Loretta,
Your new book sounds like a winner. Believe me, I know you have to follow the characters when they dictate!
Karen, my apologies for not visiting on my debut date at KMN books. I was attending a writers conference in beautiful Pensacola. However, there was some type of atmospheric interference. Cell phones weren't working nor was the internet. To answer your question: First, I found writing the vintage romance much more challenging than writing westerns. Perhaps it's because of trying to make certain all the flashbacks transitioned smoothly. I have a few other non-western ideas floating around my brain. I love writing westerns, so I may switch back and forth between genres.
Hello Cathy, again my apologies for leaving your question hanging. Writing conferences are fun, but exhausting. But to answer your question. In "Superstition Trail" the western that released in December (Avalon Books), I love the hero, Ace Donovan, but Teaspoon McGriff, is a crotchy old cowboy with some savvy sayings. Teaspoon is my favorite character in "Superstitioin Trail."
Vonnie, you are a love for dropping by a 2nd time and leaving a comment. Shame on Blogger for lunching on your comment. Back cover blurbs aren't my favorite things to write, but in the case of "Forbidden Son," the blurb seemed to write itself.
Katrina--the graphic artist really captured the essence of the story plot. I especially like the way she incorporated the little red tricycle. I guess this is a long winded way of saying how happy I am with the cover of "Forbidden Son." Thanks for dropping by. I appreciate your comment.
IIona--I find if "I" try to write the book, the plot just refuses to gel. I've learned to step out of the way and let the characters take over. I appreciate your dropping by.
Kathy, thank you for debuting "Forbidden Son" on KMN Books. This is a wonderful service you are providing for authors.
