One thing for certain and two things for sure.

I'M TEXAS BRED AND AS COUNTRY AS THEY COME.

I love reading quick pick-me-up romances during my lunch hour or before I go to bed. Problem is, I can't find enough to feed my habit. So now, I write them.

And there's nothing I'd rather write (and read) about than cowboys--non-ranching cowboys, that is. Yep. My cowboys have swapped out ranching for small town living.

And not just any small town, but one with a colorful background and storefronts such as Pump & Grind Coffee Shop, Get the Hair Outta Here, Junk & Disorderly, and The Family Jewels.

So if you enjoy reading 'em and I enjoy writing 'em, then I'd say that's a match. Welcome to my website.

  • P.S. I don't really look like the above image--at least, I haven't since I was in my twenties. To meet the 'current' me and to find out how this picture came about, become a Dakotan today and you'll get 'The Inside Scoop!

THE HISTORY OF

Honky Tonk, Texas

Honky Tonk had once been a rough-and-tumble town made up of desperadoes. With its strip of honky-tonks stretching from one end of the red light district to the other, it became the destination for Chisum Trail cowboys who had a hankering to drink, gamble, two-step, and do the feather bed jig.

Fast forward to today where the entire square surrounding the courthouse offers establishments that tourists pour in to see so they can take selfies while buying flowers from I’m So Thorny, grabbing lattes from Pump & Grind, and sending off packages from Don’t Give a Ship.

Where is Honky Tonk, Texas, you ask? It resides within my imagination, but it has become as real to me as my actual hometown.
