Howdy Partners!!! Do I have a huge treat for you!!! And I mean HUGE!!! Rein in your horses and tie them up to the posts because you are definitely going to want to stay for a while!!! While on her blog tour, one of her stops is here, HERE today, taking time out of her very busy schedule. We have New York Times Best Selling Author, Linda Lael Miller!!!!! I told you it was HUGE!! So please help me give her a very warm western welcome to our blog!!!!
As the daughter of a town marshal, Linda has come home to the western lifestyle that gave birth to one of today’s most successful authors. With more than 80 novels to her credit, the self-confessed barn goddess left Washington years ago and pursued her wanderlust, living in Arizona and London and traveling the world. But now the “First Lady of the West” is glad to be back home, writing contemporary and historical novels that have earned her awards and placements on all the national bestsellers lists.
Linda traces the birth of her writing career to the day when a Northport teacher told her that the stories she was writing were good, that she just might have a future in writing. Later, when she decided to write novels, she endured her share of rejection before she sold Fletcher’s Woman in 1983 to Pocket Books. Since then, Linda has successfully published historicals, contemporaries, paranormals, and thrillers before coming home, in a literal sense, and concentrating on novels with a Western flavor. For her devotion to her craft, the Romance Writers of America awarded her their prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award in 2007.
Linda has come a long way since leaving Washington to experience the world. “But growing up in that time and place, in a family grounded in Western values, served me well,” she allows. “And I’m happy to be back home.”

Conner Creed knows exactly who he is: a hardworking rancher carrying on his uncle’s legacy in Lonesome Bend, Colorado. Maybe a small-town cowboy’s life isn’t his dream, but he owes the man who took him in as a kid. Until the identical twin brother he’s been estranged from for years reenters his life.
Conner struggles with identity issues as he gets to know his wilder brother. And then he meets Tricia McCall, a beautiful woman who knows a thing or two about living someone else’s dreams. Together, they just might find their own dreams right here in Lonesome Bend….
I've been reading Linda's books from the beginning!
I have four of her books on TBR pile, I think I will put one off the pile and read it this week-end. I just finished a book and was wondering what to read next. You just settled that for me Cheryl. hehe
Great post 🙂
I think it's wonderful that it was the encouragement of a teacher that started her on her writing career 🙂
I LOVE Linda's Cowboys. No one writes a Cowboy like Linda.I've read them all.
