Re-Seeding

All the slash and burn is behind us -- well, mostly it is. And while there may be a bit of steaming smoking land in the real world when that happens, what I've got is some good ground to plant some new stuff.

So that's what's happening today -- a bit of re-seeding.

Those of you who have read some of my Code of the West books may remember a cabin in the mountains. It belongs to Taggart Jones's family. Jed McCall and his nephew, Tuck, lived there at the start of Cowboy Pride. Later, after Jed moved to the ranch with Brenna, it became sort of a bolt hole for anybody who needed a place to get away from it all.

When Shane Nichols stole the wrong bride in The Cowboy Steals a Lady, he took her to the cabin. It was where his brother Mace (from A Cowboy's Tears) had lived the year before when he was separated from his wife.

But I didn't imagine I'd ever get to use it in a Presents novel. Never say never, however. The time is here.

I'm looking forward to seeing the cabin again. I'm looking forward to whatever imaginative uses Flynn and Sara put it to. Should be fun. Wish I had more time to actually wallow in enjoying it -- but these revisions have got to be out of here by the end of the week.

Speaking of cowboys, if you haven't just come from Kate Walker's blog, you might want to drop by today. Donna Alward, doing her guest blog in honor of Kate's 50th title, has posted a question about favorite cowboys.

It gave me a chance to write the words: Jess Harper.

Sadly I don't have time to re-visit my infatution with Jess again today. But I will refer you to an earlier post or two which cover the topic adequately.
