I knew a little bit about professional bull riding, having researched it for another book. So, I incorporated both things into the series. Then in 2016, my husband and I took a dude ranch vacation. We had a great time and saw the setting for my first series, The Dawsons of Montana.
After that trip, another series, the Ghost Mountain Ranch was born.
