The Stones of Heart Falls. Beginnings
Here’s the moment when I drop into your world with a tidbit about what came before. AKA, the wonderful and weird world of my writing brain, and how one thing leads to another. In this case, the Stones of Heart Falls and their community of friends.
Fresh off celebrating the final book in the series (you did grab A Rancher’s Vow, yes?) I’ve been thinking about how this began.
Part of Heart Falls origin story is easy to describe. I knew the Colemans of Rocky Mountain House, and the other books of the Six Pack Ranch, were drawing to a close. I’d written books for all the guy cousins and wanted to take the Whiskey Creek women away to some place without tons of interferring family for their stories.
Which meant a new location, and the perfect chance to deal with a few outstanding issues. Ie, Tamara Coleman, who had done something in an earlier book that legally had to be dealt with.
The final book of the Six Pack Ranch introduced Darilyn Hayes, her foster family, and the community of Heart Falls. When they stepped onto the page I had no idea that we’d end up here. 16 books later, with 6 more to go (that I know of!)
Not a bad side trip for a couple of cowgirls looking for a new home!
If you’re newer here, you might want to go back to the Six Pack Ranch books and see who was around at the start. Start with ROCKY MOUNTAIN HEAT. (WARNING. Close your eyes and skip ahead, or just don't get scared by the list that follows. Lol. You don't have to read them all.)
If you’ve been around for a while, have I told you lately that I adore you? Also, if you want to do a full re-read at some point, here’s a link to ALL the stories, in chronological order. For those who like to check off lists and get it ALL in order.
