Which do you prefer to read about, brides with cold feet? Or their grooms standing them up? As I was planning out my Cavanagh Cowboys Romance series, I knew the fifth novel would be either a runaway or jilted bride… but it took me a while to decide which! Noah Cavanagh had previously been cast […]
Intentionality
The Cavanagh brothers are an interesting crew – at least they are to me! I began noodling on this series about two years ago. There were a few firsts for me. First time writing a sibling/stepsibling series. First time contemplating a dysfunctional family where each member needed a uniquely tailored happily-ever-after, though they started in […]
My Boy and Me… and #giveaway
Hi! My name is Dafne Santoro, and I’m taking over the blog today for my author, Valerie Comer. If you’ve been hanging around in her fictional world for a while, we’ve probably already met, since she’s recorded the romances of my older brother and sister and a whole bunch of my cousins over the past […]
Interview with a Cowboy
Valerie: Today I’d like to introduce you all to Nathaniel Cavanagh. Welcome to Inspy Romance, Nathaniel! Nathaniel: Hi, uh, you forgot to tell me this crowd was mostly women. But I see a guy or two here, too, so I’ll just focus on them for the moment. Valerie: Do women make you nervous? Nathaniel: Sort […]
Family Connections + Giveaway
Family, where would we be without them? I asked the authors of InspyRomance if they had any books based on family and got a hailstorm of information. We all seem to love seeing family connections in books and writers are glad to oblige. I always said, if I could only have one child, I wanted […]
Dear Dakota…
Dear Dakota, I know you told me to leave well enough alone. I tried. I really did. Okay, I didn’t try. Sorry for lying. I believe everyone needs a second chance, even you. Even your son’s daddy, Travis Cavanagh. Not just for Toby’s sake, although it’s certainly ideal for every four-year-old to live with both […]
Being a Single Dad by Travis Cavanagh
My author, Valerie Comer, asked me to share my parenting journey with you today. So, uh, here I am, not that I’m an expert. She says my story is in the book Give Me Another Chance, Cowboy, but I don’t see how it could be, not with that title, because that would be Dakota speaking, […]
Birth of a Series
A few days ago, Marry Me for Real, Cowboy hit the virtual bookshelves, kicking off my seventh Christian contemporary romance series… and my second western romance series. It occurred to me a while back that I had never done a sibling series. Oh, most of my series have had siblings in them, but never before […]
What Is It About Cowboys?
Cowboy romances wax and wane in popularity, but they never go out of style completely. I got thinking about that the other day. Why are cowboy romances so popular? I mean, I know I like reading them and writing them, but clearly there are many women (and some men!) who find western romances compelling. From […]
Riding off into the Sunset
“Parting is such sweet sorrow,” they say. “All good things must come to an end.” Are they right? Well, yes, but what kind of parting are we talking about here? When I envisioned the Saddle Springs Romance series two years ago, I knew the series would be complete in six books. I worked hard to […]
