Today
I interview Carolyn Brown and there is a giveaway of 3 of her books
:D
Welcome!
Welcome
back to my blog Carolyn. Anything fun happened since I saw you around
the last time?
Carolyn:
I love propping up my feet and visiting with all y’all here at Book
Girl of Mur-y-Castell. We always have so much fun! Oh, my goodness,
so many fun things have happened since I last visited here. Family
continues to expand and there’s more books to be written and
cowboys are coming out of the woodwork wanting me to tell their
stories...which I do not mind one bit. I love it when those sexy boys
knock on my door, their boots all polished and their hats in their
hands.
Tell
me about your new book, The Cowboy's mail order bride...
Carolyn:
Fulfilling a promise to her grandfather in his last days of life,
Emily has brought a box of letters to Clarice, her grandfather’s
first and lost love. Her intentions were to leave the letters and be
on her way but things didn’t work that way. Clarice begged her to
stay and tell her more about Marvin Cooper’s life. Her grandson,
Greg, isn’t convinced that Emily is really who she says she is but
he’s willing to play along…for a little while anyway. Magic is in
the air…but then there is a certain magic in the fading art of real
letters, isn’t there?
Is
this the last in the Cowboy's and Brides series or will there be
more?
Carolyn:
There is one more in the Cowboy’s and Brides series: How
to Marry a Cowboy is
scheduled for July, 2014 and tells Mason’s story about what
happened when he found a woman in a tattered bridal gown on his front
porch. And then in October The Burnt Boot Series will kick off with
Cowboy Boots for
Christmas (Cowboy Not Included).
Also, in August, another cowboy series debuts with Long
Hot Texas Summer. So
there are lots more cowboys in the next few months.
What
was the inspiration behind this book?
Carolyn:
That’s a long story but to make it short, I am a mail order bride.
Husband and I wrote letters back and forth for two years (he was in
Germany with the Army and I was in Oklahoma finishing high school).
He proposed by mail and I got my engagement ring by mail. Even though
it was all done in the era before Skype, texting and cell phones and
all the technological things of this day and time, it inspired me to
write the story. What if my proposal and my ring had been lost in the
mail? What if since I didn’t respond, he thought my answer was no?
As
you have written about so many couples, is there any couple that is
your favorite?
Carolyn:
My favorite couple? Hmmmm, that tends to be the couple I’m working
with at the time but I have to admit that Emily and Greg sure have a
special place in my heart. RT Reviews says that the book has an old
world feel to it. I like that because I wanted it to blend the old
with the new in a new and different way.
And
what are you working on right now?
Carolyn:
I’m working on The
Cowboy Clash, the
second book in the Burnt Boot series that will hopefully be on the
bookshelves the first of 2015. Sawyer O’Donnell (Cowboy Seeks
Bride) is coming back to tell us about his life in Burnt Boot when he
gets thrown in the middle of a century old family feud.
Thanks!

THE
COWBOY’S MAIL ORDER BRIDE BY CAROLYN BROWN – IN STORES FEBRUARY
2014
She's
Got Sass...
Emily
Cooper promised her dying grandfather that she'd deliver a long-lost
letter to a woman he once planned to wed. Little does adventurous
Emily know that this simple task will propel her to places she never
could have imagined...with a cowboy who's straight out of her
dreams...
He's
Got Mail...
When
sexy rancher Greg Adams discovers his grandmother Clarice has
installed Emily on their ranch as her assistant, he decides to humor
the two ladies. He figures Emily will move on soon enough. In the
meantime, he intends to keep a close eye on her—he doesn't quite
buy her story of his grandmother as a mail-order bride.
A
lost letter meant a lost love for Clarice, but two generations later,
maybe it's not too late for that letter to work its magic.
