As with all new endeavors and ideas it takes a bit of time for the ideas to take hold. The fact that they are moving so quickly I think bodes well for the health of the industry. Best to all the authors.

We write books because we want to entertain people, and in my case, to put smiles on readers' faces while they sigh at the Happily Ever After romance. It's so rewarding to be able to interact with readers who enjoy what we do. You'll find out when that book of your gets published.

Um, cowboys as we know them didn't exist then! That just goes to show how knowledgable she was about the Old West.
