AUTHOR INTERVIEW

Tea or coffee? Iced or hot?

M: Definitely tea, and almost always hot.

The amount of times I've tried to like hot tea is ridiculous. I can't quite get myself taste buds to enjoy it. 

If you could write in another genre, which would it be?

M: I’ve never given that any thought because I can’t imagine writing anything but romance.

Well I for one love ALL of my romance authors, so I'll take this. 

What are your favorite scenes to write?

M: Probably high-emotion scenes. Though I dislike them as much as I like them. Because to do them justice, I have to “go there.” I have to feel what my characters are feeling and sometimes I don’t want to do that because it usually leads to crying.

But if you're feeling the emotions, we as readers will feel the emotion and I love that!

Which one of your characters is MOST like you? Least like you?

M: Carly from Their Ranch Reunion is probably most like me in that she’s very domestic. Kayla, the heroine in my September 2019 release, Reunited in the Rockies, or Grace from Falling for the Hometown Hero are probably the least like me, though it’s possible there’s always a little bit of me in each of my heroines.

What is your favorite holiday?

M: Christmas, hands down. I love everything about it, from the decorations to the music to the food and everything in between.

Mmm, yes ma'am! I LOVE Christmas!!

Where did the inspiration for this story come from?

M: I’m not really sure. I just knew that when five brothers grew up on a ranch, one of them was bound to be interested in rodeo and love horses. And what better partner for a guy who loves horses than a woman who’s scared to death of them.


Haha. Oh the things that could happen! 

Thank you so much for stopping by today! It was an honor to have you.

  5. I'm always surprised when authors say they've cried while writing scenes. I rarely cry when reading a book, so the whole thing befuddles me.
