Forever's Western Blog Tour: Interview and Giveaway

Today I would like to welcome both R.C. Ryan and Katie Lane to RFTC. Both ladies are part of the Forever Western Blog Tour and have taken the time out of their busy schedules to let me ask them a few questions. So lets get to know them a bit shall we.

New York Times bestselling author R.C. Ryan has written more than ninety fiction novels, both contemporary and historical. Quite an accomplishment for someone who, after her fifth child started school, gave herself the gift of an hour a day to follow her dream to become a writer.

The Lost, an anthology of stories by J.D. Robb, Mary Blayney, Patricia Gaffney, and R.C. Ryan writing as Ruth Ryan Langan was published in Fall 2009. Ms. Ryan’s story, “The Legacy,” is an exciting tale of intrigue and other-worldly adventure.

In a career spanning more than twenty years, Ms. Ryan has given dozens of radio, television, and print interviews across the country and Canada, and has been quoted in such diverse publications as the Wall Street Journal and Cosmopolitan. She has also appeared on CNN News, as well as Good Morning America.

Wolf-whisperer Quinn Conway wins heart of rancher Cheyenne O'Brien. Together they face an enemy who will stop at nothing to see them dead.

What types of scenes are your most favorite to write?
Hmm. I love writing love scenes. But I also love writing the suspense scenes. Both are like choreographing a dance. Each little movement. Each step. Every word has to have meaning. and convey real emotion to the reader.

If you could have dinner with any three authors (alive or dead), who would you choose and why?
Only three? That's a tough call.
Stephen King. I love the way he conjures terror in the heart of the reader. What a gift.

Phillipa Gregory. I love the rich tapestry of historical data she weaves through her historicals dealing with the era of Queen Elizabeth and Henry of England.

William Shakespeare. I'd love to ask if he actually wrote all the plays attributed to him.

Last question, are you working on anything right now?
I'm just wrapping up JAKE, book 3 in this Wyoming Sky series. Lots of loose ends to tie up, and I want them all neat and tidy before it goes to my editor.


A Wyoming Sky Novel ...

The Truth Can Be an Irresistible Temptation . . .

As a young boy, Quinn Conway was shattered by his mother's mysterious disappearance. Today, as the oldest of the Conway brothers, his only concern is protecting his family and their ranch. One look at beautiful, strong-willed Cheyenne O'Brien tells him she's also no stranger to tragedy. A series of increasingly dangerous "accidents" are plaguing her and her land, and Quinn can't stand idly by while a woman is in danger. Fiercely independent, Cheyenne isn't one to lean on others, yet she can't deny her attraction to the rugged rancher offering help. Soon, the passion building between them proves as wild and untamed as the land she loves-and just as impossible to resist. But a relentless enemy is about to make one final devastating move. To survive, Quinn and Cheyenne must put their cherished freedom-and their hearts-at risk . . .

Katie Lane's interest in romance was sparked in high school in the backseat of a '65 mustang-okay, so maybe it wasn't romance as much as raging teenage hormones. Still, coupled with a wild imagination, those make-out sessions inspired many a steamy storyline along with a strong belief that true love does prevail. Katie lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico with the owner of that mustang and would love to hear from her readers.

Widow gets evicted from mansion and returns to her childhood trailer where a good ol’ boy neighbor and 4 orphans will add to her troubles.

What types of scenes are your most favorite to write? 
I love scenes with the town of Bramble. Those folks just tickle me pink.

If you could have dinner with any three authors (alive or dead), who would you choose and why? 
Paul the Apostle—Did you ever have a bad writing day and felt uninspired? Shakespeare—Why did you let Romeo swallow the poison? J.K. Rowling—Couldn’t you have given Snape one girlfriend?

Last question, are you working on anything right now? 
Hunk for the Holidays will be out September 2012. And I just finished the fourth book in my Deep in the Heart of Texas series. Trouble in Texas will be out December 2012.

Shirlene Dalton has it all: a dream marriage to a man who spoils her rotten and the most outrageous mansion Bramble, Texas, has ever seen. But when her husband unexpectedly dies, Shirlene finds herself right back where she started-in a rundown trailer on the wrong side of the tracks. Never the type to let a little bad luck and a whole heap of heartache get her down, Shirlene is ready to prove to the local gossips she can make it on her own . . . until she ends up living next door to the most tempting cowboy in town.

Billy Wilkes has a score to settle and a plan to wipe Bramble right off the map. But when his sexy, redheaded neighbor figures out what he’s up to, his good ol’ boy charm won’t be enough to save him. With the town on his tail, Billy will have to come clean quick-or kiss Shirlene goodbye.
