Book Tour Part I: Black Mountain Ranch

A week ago I was in Crested Butte, one of my favorite places on earth. To be honest, I’d give anything to be able to wiggle my nose and be back there right this minute. And where I am and what I’m doing is nothing I’d complain about . . . 

It was a whirlwind of a week. We left on Tuesday. Our first stop on the tour was Black Mountain Ranch (http://blackmtnranch.com). It was everything I wrote and more. Someday I’d like have the time to interview cowboy/rancher/owner Nowell, who assured me he could write several books himself about the romances that have begun at the ranch. 



I signed a book for him, which he accepted gladly with the caveat that he would have his girlfriend read it first. I was tempted to tell him that real cowboys aren’t embarrassed to read my (steamy romance) books. I held my tongue. 

The trip to and from the ranch was almost as interesting as driving around the ranch itself. There isn’t any question that the Antler Craft will appear in a future book; effectively describing this place will be daunting.

Our next stop was Juicy Lucy's Steakhouse in Glenwood Springs. As much fun as it was for me to revisit these places I liked enough to include in my books, it was more fun to watch Vicki and Carolyn’s reactions when they entered a place they’d only read about previously.

There are more stories about cab drivers and dirt roads . . . but some I need to save for future books. Next up: Book Tour Part II: Crested Butte.
