Instead of trying to find your perfect match in a dating app, we bring you the “Author-Reader Match" where we introduce you to authors as a reader you may fall in love with. It's our great pleasure to present Joanne Kennedy!
Writes:
I write light contemporary Western romance set in small Wyoming towns and on ranches like the ones that surround my home. My authentic working cowboys are challenged by women who are fish-out-of-water that absolutely refuse to get back in the bucket. My secondary characters range from cranky old men to schoolteachers to kids of all kinds.
Happily ever after doesn’t come easy in my books, but the rougher the road, the better the story--and the more you discover about what really matters in life.
About:
I live in a secret hideout on the wild edge of Wyoming, an hour away from everything. Much as I love my mountain sanctuary, I’m glad I have a Facebook page (Joanne Kennedy Books) where I can meet readers and share photos of my hiking adventures with our three dogs. There are three cats, too; I have no idea how I ended up with that many pets, but they love starring in my books. I’m crazy in love with the West, especially Wyoming, and do my best to take you there and show you the joys and challenges of living under our wide blue skies.
What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:
- If you love cowboys who fight for their country, then fight to belong back at home. . .
- If you love girls who are tough on the outside and tender on the inside. . .
- If you love great big dogs and misbehaving animals of all kinds. . .
- If you love the magic of Christmas as well as holiday parties that go wildly off-the-rails. . .
- If you love eavesdropping at small-town diners and cowboy bars. . .
- You’ll love my books--I promise!
What to expect if we're compatible:
We’ll spend our time. . .
- Staying up late to read one more chapter
- Enjoying the wide-open spaces of the real West, along with the very real challenges of living there
- Visiting little towns that are tiny dots on the map of the high plains
- Hiking through the woods with me on my Facebook page and enjoying spectacular views
- Coming along to see the rest of the west in my little RV, along with all the dogs and at least one cat
- Helping me find names for animals and other characters for my current story and getting free books in return!
