Vacation Inspiration #Giveaway

June 28, 2021 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

Since I started writing, whenever we go on vacation, a book begins to percolate. I often plan our trips around a jaunt I need to make for a book I’m writing. Back when I began my rodeo series, we visited the Fort Worth Stockyards and Aubrey, Texas. Both featured prominently in the series. Since we […]

What About Setting? #Giveaway

April 30, 2021 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

I write in layers. That means, my first draft is mainly dialogue, character thought, and emotion. Once I complete the book, I go back in and add setting, description, movement, body language, and timeline. I used to weave my setting and timeline in as I wrote the first draft. Until my editor asked if I […]

A New Leaf #Giveaway

March 31, 2021 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

So I got a new desk. I didn’t mean to. It was supposed to be for my husband. I do most of my furniture shopping on Facebook Marketplace and flea markets. I’d found a white desk just like it a few months ago, but it was three hours away. So when I found this one […]

Revisiting Characters

March 2, 2021 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

  A Texas Bond, book three in my Texas Hill Country series, officially released last week. It was inspired partly by my husband and I dabbling in flea marketing after shopping them for years. The picture I included is the booth we had full of items we created or repurposed. It was fun fitting our […]

Double Trouble # Giveaway

January 30, 2021 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

With eighteen, soon to be nineteen Contemporary Romance titles under my belt, there isn’t much I haven’t put in a book. But never twins. Until A Texas Bond. When I was a teenager, I had this fantasy world in my head where I’d get married someday and have twins. After my son was born, I […]

Books & Puzzles # Giveaway

November 30, 2020 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

I love jigsaw puzzles, but it’s been several years since I’ve done one. When I was a kid, I remember my Uncle Spud always had a puzzle. When I visited or spent the night with my cousins, he’d let me ‘help’ with his puzzle. Over the years, my parents bought me puzzles and my love […]

When It Rains It Pours #Giveaway

June 4, 2020 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

Blessings that is. I knew book two of my Hill Country Cowboys series was releasing in mid June and my backlist title, Counting on the Cowboy was re-releasing in a western collection in mid May. But I didn’t know the collection would be in Walmart. I didn’t even look. But my husband did. It was […]

A Long Time Coming #Giveaway

March 12, 2020 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

It’s been a long time coming. My last new title released two years ago. Hill Country Redemption was inspired by a conversation with my mom. She told me about a couple I’d gone to school with. We’ll call them Andy and Pam. They were a few years older than me. All I remembered was that […]

The Eyes Have It # Giveaway

February 10, 2020 by Shannon Taylor Vannatter

When I try to imagine a handsome man, I come up with dark hair and green eyes every time. Like my husband and almost every other man I’ve thought was attractive. Blue eyes will do in a pinch, but only with brunette hair. I love the combo of inky brows and light eyes. I also […]
