And they were so fun to work on and collaborate with everyone on. Yes, we had a basic idea of the bad guys just for consistency. This was so much fun, because although there were certain things in the sisters' past that were the same, it was neat to see the sisters from each others' POV both as characters and as authors. <br Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-52183724969851372512017-12-28T10:40:52.921-06:002017-12-28T10:40:52.921-06:00I love westerns, too, Deborah, and absolutely love...I love westerns, too, Deborah, and absolutely loved growing up here in Oklahoma in the heart of "cowboy country"--although my dad was not a cowboy. He did love westerns, too, and we used to watch them together on tv. One of my fondest memories of his older years was when I introduced him to Louis L'Amour--he'd watched The Sacketts on tv and I had the books--he read those and Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-46283739798288987372017-12-28T10:15:01.697-06:002017-12-28T10:15:01.697-06:00I loved doing that too, Jacquie.

It makes it fun for the readers and the authors. I'm curious if you collaborated much on the basics (like what the stepfather looked like, etc.) before you all wrote your pieces? Or were you surprised to see what everyone else came up with?

I'll have to hunt for it.<br /><br />I have always wondered how in the world a woman could leave everything familiar and go west to a man she knew nothing about. Of course, where the woman came from--the circumstances--may be worse than anything she could imagine going TO. <br /><br />I love to think about how everything might play out--and I'm sure Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-52810475417877846182017-12-27T16:02:46.668-06:002017-12-27T16:02:46.668-06:00Cheryl,

What a scoundrel he was. The two scenes that stick out in my mind are when she smacks him upside the head with a coffee cup and when he runs cattle through her garden.<br /><br />I'm intrigued by the storyline for The Remington Kaye Spencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530735658588595790noreply@blogger.com
