Blurb/Synopsis:
George Lester, the Duke of Northumberland, flees familial expectations in Britain for the promise of freedom of San Francisco, looking for the chance to be himself. But before he even gets close, a blizzard forces him off the road, and he finds himself freezing half to death in a small town with no motel… with a litter of puppies to look after.
Luckily for George, he also finds Alan.
As the heir to his family’s ranch, Alan Justice knows the burden of being the oldest son. He doesn’t have time to show George, the stranger his brother dragged home, what it takes to be a cowboy. But that very night, George surprises him by helping a mare in distress through a difficult birth. Maybe the duke is made of sterner stuff than Alan thought.
George and Alan keep surprising each other, and every day they grow a little closer. But when George’s responsibilities call him home, Alan finds he’s the one who has something to prove—that he can handle what it means to be the duke’s cowboy.

Do you come
up with the hook first, or do you create characters first and then dig through
until you find a hook? In this case, the hook came first and that
eld me to the characters.
Which of
your characters would you want to share a campfire with, and why?
I was love to share a campfire with either George or Alan. Both of them would be great company and that
would have good stories to tell.
Tell us
about what you are reading at the moment or anticipate reading in the future?
Any favorite authors you enjoy reading in your spare time?
There are a number of things that I love to read. Right now, I just finished The Rhubarb Patch
by Deanna Wadsworth. I love that story.
Are there
any specific themes or messages that you strive to convey through your writing?
What impact do you hope your books have on readers? I
find myself writing about families quite a bit.
It’s a theme I return to because gay people can have the same family as
anyone else.
What are
some of the biggest challenges you've faced as an author, and how have you
overcome them? There are times when the story just isn’t
working or a character simply isn’t speaking.
Sometimes I try to work through those challenges and at other times, I
go for a change of scenery. Something to
get he juices flowing again.
How do you
approach character development in your stories? Do you have any specific
techniques or methods that you find particularly effective? Not really at this point. Usually the characters come to me first and
then the story develops around them. I
find myself using a lot of my own history and experiences in my stories.
How do you
handle feedback and criticism from readers and reviewers? Criticism is something that every author has
to deal with. I always take criticism
with a grain of salt. If its someone I
know, then their criticism has more weight, or if multiple people say the same
thing. Them I look deeper. But otherwise, I try to let it wash off and I
move on.
Can you
discuss any upcoming projects or books that you're currently working on? What
can readers expect from your future works?
I have some
wonderful book coming. In May, we return
to the world of the Farm series.
Homeward, the follow up to Heartward, will release then and I can’t wait
for you all to read it.
