E.
Ayers is an Amazon best-selling author in Western Romance and she also writes
contemporary romances. When she least expected it, she found her prince
charming and married him five weeks later. She uses that heart-warming passion
as a basis for all her books, because she believes everyone needs someone to
love.
A Snowy Christmas in Wyoming
2: A Snowy Christmas in Wyoming
spent over seven months on the best selling western lists on Amazon.
3: I knew nothing about the Crow tribe when
I started writing the story other than there are some very handsome men in some
old photos and the reservation is located directly above Wyoming. I knew almost
nothing about the tribe when I finished the story. Oh, did that change!
4: I've known several folks tied to the
news programs. They don't have a life. The broadcast company owns them. Their
hair is cut, colored, and styled according to the company. The company tells
them what they will wear, etc. Any free time they have is controlled. They are
an image and it must be protected at all times.
5: The success of this book triggered off
the series of Creed's Crossing, Wyoming, and the diary of Clare Coleman
mentioned in A Snowy Christmas in Wyoming prompted my foray into
historical westerns. That diary will also be available soon. My short story A
Christmas Far From Home in A Sweetwater Springs Christmas with Debra
Holland uses the grandson of Clare Coleman. As I was writing that story, I
realized I had another, A Rancher's Woman. It should start appearing at
the e-stores next week.
BLURB from A SNOWY CHRISTMAS in WYOMING
A Native American cowboy and a national TV news anchorwoman have nothing in common except for their pasts. Is love preordained? An old diary from when Jessie and Clare Coleman settled on the land in the 1840's provides a history of their life. But tucked between the pages is an unrequited love between Clare Coleman and a tall Native American. Does love and land come full circle? In this season of giving, will fate reach through time to give a gift of love?
Andy Coyote settled into the job as foreman on the Coleman ranch. He's got custody of his thirteen month old daughter and the situation is perfect for both of them until Caroline Coleman returns home for Christmas and one of the worst blizzards in years hits the area. He's forced to accept Caroline's help to move a herd of cattle and mixed in it are several head from another ranch in the community. Cattle rustling still happens.
Caroline Coleman has her dream job as a Washington, D.C., news anchor for a national broadcast, but home is in Wyoming on her family's ranch. She has everything that money can buy, but the things that she really wants can't be purchased. Raised with solid, hard working, family values, she knows her life in the spotlight isn't real. She wants a man who appreciates the ranch, loves her for who she is and not what she is, and she wants a family of her own. And she doesn't like the idea of Andy Coyote taking advantage of her grandmother.

Thanks so much for having me and allowing me to share with your readers. I still say it's just a contemporary romance that just happens to take place in Wyoming. But I'll let the readers decide. And I'm not telling who I know in the national news business. LOL
ReplyDeleteI loved Christmas in Wyoming. What a great idea to link all your books the way you have. I haven't read Sweetwater Springs Christmas, but it's keeping warm on my Kindle. Keep 'em coming, E!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jane. I know you like a cowboy so I'm sure you will enjoy reading about Frank Coleman and his intended Adie Reiner in 1895. Thanks so much for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteI love your books! Yes, they will love your The Rancher's Woman!
ReplyDeleteI'm crossing my fingers as it's my first solid venture into historical westerns. Keeping it historically accurate has been difficult. Thanks for stopping, Jan, and for the vote of confidence.
DeleteI loved that story. Very heartwarming. Best luck with your anthology..quite a line-up there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping, Rose, and for the well wishes.It was fun writing Andy Coyote's story in A Snowy Christmas in Wyoming. He was such an underdog. Anyone who has lived in a small town area knows there's always that one family.
DeleteHow interesting. Thanks for sharing your process, E. Talk about coloring outside the lines...or in your case writing outside the lines. Great good luck with your many projects.
ReplyDeleteThanks, JD. I know your books, and you just grab a headline and then go for it! Let's just say you'll never be in charge of tourism. LOL But who needs lines to confine us?
DeleteWow. I love that stories just spawn off other books. Best wishes with your sales! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping, Melissa. Isn't it amazing? One little Christmas book triggered all this other stuff.I stopped writing the diary to write for Sweetwater Springs Christmas and found myself ripping Adie's sister and her interest in Many Feathers out of it. UGH! That story has grown into an 80K book!
DeleteE., I have our boxed set on my Kindle. Can't wait to read your story!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I manage to get A Rancher's Woman published, I intend to find a quiet corner and spend it reading all the wonderful stories in the boxed set and in Sweetwater Springs Christmas. So far I only have read about half of the stories in each publication. Anthologies and boxed sets are a great way for people to discover new authors.
DeleteHow interesting to hear your feelings about your story. And isn't writing Christmas stories fun? Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd love to write just Christmas stories! In fact, many of my stories have Christmas in them. It really is a wonderful time of the year. Happy holidays to you, too!
DeleteThanks for sharing your secrets, E. I just downloaded the boxed set and look forward to reading the stories. I find this year the Christmas novels and movies are helping get me into the holiday spirits. Wishing you ongoing success with your books!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Gemma. I hope you enjoy all the books in the box. They are all very different. And you can't beat our sale price of 99 cents.
DeleteWonderful post. I love the premise of your series. I must look for the books. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi, Cara. Thanks so much for visiting Beverley's blog. I just love adding to the TBR pile! And I have lots of books to be added. Just remember that my westerns tend to be sweeter, but I do go to about a medium on the heat scale with my other books. But I've seriously enjoyed writing the westerns. I love the city and all that it has to offer, but I love living in the country. It has a different feel and a different pace to it. People know their neighbors even if their neighbors are miles away.
DeleteE., I understand exactly what you mean with your comment, "Keeping it historically accurate has been difficult." I love the research part of writing westerns/historicals, but man-oh-man the research can cut into precious writing time. Maybe it’s just me, but every so often, I get sidetracked on a tidbit of history that is so darn interesting that, two hours later, I realize I’m a dozen websites away from where I started. ;-) I'm looking forward to reading the stories. Thanks for sharing your

Hi Kaye, great to see you here. I've had to take a few liberties with my Crow Indians and generalize a few things. Some tribes have more written history. Some of what was written isn't accurate. Grr! (How am I supposed to figure that mess out? This historian says this and that one says something different? Help!) It's been a real adventure. But I'm loving it.
