A few weeks ago, Lyn Cote hosted me on her blog. It’s only fair to return the favor to discuss her August release, Her Inheritance Forever (Avon Inspire).
What a beautiful cover. Here’s a little bit about the book:
In 1836 Texas, Alandra Sandoval is determined to run her rancho
without a man. Scully Falconer is top hand on a neighboring spread.
The Mexican lady and the American cowboy are on separate paths—until
greedy relatives, a troubled past, and the tides of history bring them
together! Will their lives change forever?
Lyn, let me ask you a few random questions. That’s always good, clean fun!
Name the two people–living or dead–you would most like to invite to dinner. What would you discuss?
CS Lewis and Charles Dickens. Both of these English writers had tremendous influence on their times and their writing after their deaths. Lewis revolutionized the way I thought about God. And I think Charles Dickens and I share the same passion for social justice.
What is your favorite book of all time?
The Gospel of John. Can you imagine being best friends with Jesus? I love the way John’s words exude love and wisdom. I guess you can judge a man by the company he keeps.
What were some of the challenges or surprises in writing this book?
When I research for a book, I do just enough research to set up the story plot so that it reflects genuine history. Then I start writing. As I go along, I make note of facts (names of places, dates, etc) that I need to check. The thing that threw me most was how fast the history of Texas changed over the course of the 3 books in this series. The constant flux in government especially impacted names of towns. Santa Roseta began Hidalgo for example. I was kept busy finding how what had changed on the map of Texas from 1821 on.
Thanks for stopping by, Lyn!
