Author Talk Interviewed me about Swept Away
In this interview, bestselling author Mary Connealy reveals her inspiration for her new historical romance series, Trouble in Texas, the first installment of which is SWEPT AWAY. She also explains how a novel with such serious and intense themes can have comedic elements woven so seamlessly throughout the story, why she writes about cowboys, and what she believes is the book’s deepest theme.
Question: Where did you get the idea for the Trouble in Texas series? Read More Here...

Lane Hill House Reviews Swept Away

Tubing is for Slacker Cows
My Cowboy doesn't give a newborn calf a bottle if he won't suck. He tubes them. See the long tube on this bottle? That goes down the calf's throat and right into his stomach and the milk just pours right into his little belly. Warm milk. His mama is supposed to provide that, and she will, but clearly some intervention is needed and the sun is setting so we need to get hot milk into the new baby.
Insert the long tube in the calf's mouth and slide it all the way down his throat. This isn't a bottle for sucking, oh no. It's a tube, also called Drenching.
Threading the tube down the calf's throat into it's tummy where he will be filled with luscious, life saving food his mama is too dumb to stand still and provide...even as she stands inches away, threatening to SAVE HER BABY from the scary cowboy and his wife, who is standing well away and emitting an odd clicking noise. (the camera)
"You're prepared to step in and shoo her away if she charges, right?" My cowboy asks...me!
Then the calf says, "Hot milk? I don't want that? I was thinking more a venti cappucino! MAMA SAVE ME!"
What are you doin' to my baby? (insert horrible bellow...she sounds like a bull.
This is not a MOO, it is deep, throaty, MEAN)
The calf lurches sideways and shakes the tube. The cow puffs hot breath in My Cowboy's face. He said, "You feed him then, Slacker Cow
Wait, there's a shiny object. Okay, fine, you do it.
So the job is left to My Cowboy after all. And mama looks on, along with a young heifer, still waiting to calf, who is thinking, "So, that's how it's done. Got it."

They're naming blizzards now, right?
They're naming blizzards now, right? Like they name Hurricanes?
Well, yesterday we had a calf with a daddy named blizzard, it was 50 degrees and mostly sunny.
Today we have a blizzard, I propose we name it CALF
Calf named Blizzard
Blizzard named Calf.
There is a nice rhythm to that.
Church is cancelled.
Long snow day ahead. Of course I'm running late because I didn't roll out of bed at the correct Daylight Saving's Time time.
