Читать книгу The Rancher's Homecoming - Cathy Mcdavid - Страница 4

Dear Reader,

I always love starting a new series. It’s kind of like decorating a barren room or planning a huge event. There are so many possibilities, and exploring them is fun and exciting. I get to decide where the series takes place, what about this particular community makes it unusual and interesting, and, most important, who are the characters that will inhabit it? I’m not sure what part appeals to me the most.

I visited Lake Tahoe and the surrounding area many years ago and was struck by its rugged beauty. I left thinking that someday I would set a book there. The chance didn’t come until now. Sweetheart, Nevada, is based loosely on the area north of Lake Tahoe. And here’s a secret just between you and me. The Gold Nugget Ranch featured in my book is inspired by the Ponderosa Ranch where the TV series Bonanza was filmed. Promise not to tell?

With a name like Sweetheart, you can count on a lot of romance. But the road won’t be easy for Sam and Annie, my struggling couple in The Rancher’s Homecoming. In addition to rebuilding a relationship that went wrong years ago, they are fighting to save their town after a devastating wildfire nearly destroyed it. The situation is further complicated by their young daughters, Annie’s charming yet difficult mother and grandmother, and a menagerie of orphaned animals.

As always, I love hearing from readers. You can contact me at cathy@cathymcdavid.com.

Warmest wishes,

Cathy McDavid
