Writing TEXAS COWBOYS Comes Naturally to Debra Clopton

Debra Clopton here and yes I do love Texas Cowboys and you ma have heard the saying "Write what you know, or love" well I believe that. So, since I live in the heart of Texas Cowboy country and am surrounded...it just came naturally to write about them. First with my long running MULE HOLLOW series and now with my new COWBOYS OF SUNRISE RANCH I love bringing strong men to the pages of my books. Men who tip their hats, swagger a little and always open doors for a lady--whether she wants him to or not!

I think most cowboys are unforgettable...so when I was searching for a title for the 1st book of this series HER UNFORGETTABLE COWBOY was the perfect fit--after all Jolie Sheridan broke off her engagement to Morgan McDermott but she was never able to forget him! For more behind info on the creation of the series check out my blog post http://debraclopton.com/category/personal/ and sign up for my newsletter on the Contest page and a chance to win a prize!

Here's the blurb:    A New Beginning
Everyone in Dew Drop, Texas, is thrilled that Jolie Sheridan has returned to Sunrise Ranch. Everyone except Morgan McDermott. Eight years ago, Jolie left the ranch—and Morgan—for a career as a competitive kayaker. Now after an accident has sidelined her, she's back as a teacher for the ranch's foster boys. Morgan knows he can't risk getting his heart broken again. But watching Jolie's gentle ways with the boys opens his eyes to the truth: he's never stopped loving her. Can a "family" of foster kids help give this couple a second chance at love?

  2. Hi Paula! Thanks for commenting. I've heard of lots of places, like bed and breakfast and I think a saloon named Dew Drop but I don't think there is an actual town. But I just love the name so I made my own Dew Drop and put my own Dew Drop Inn there. I hope you enjoy the book and thanks for the kind words :)

  15. Awesome cover, and I love cowboys too! I used to live in Abilene, and I dated a cowboy . What I remember the most, he wouldn't wear shorts. Ever. No matter how hot it was.

    Looking forward to the new series. Debbie, you rock.

  16. I totally love the name Dew Drop Texas. :-) And I love reading good stories about cowboys. Sadly, I don't think I could convincingly set a series on a ranch, but I love authors who do. :-)

  17. Thanks everyone for commenting! LOL and Pamela that is soooo true about cowboys--at least from our generation. The new generation of cowboys are more apt to. But around her in public you hardly ever see the above in shorts because of this I made a funny scene in one of my books Next Door Daddy about a cowboy having to put on shorts and how white his legs were lol
