Carolyn Brown | An Interview With Jane Day The Heroine Of One Lucky Cowboy
November 5, 2009
Thank you for having me on your website today. It’s a pleasure to be here. Tell
me, has a character in a book ever become so real that you wish you could
interview her to find out a little more than what was written? Well, I have many
times so I thought we would interview the heroine of ONE LUCKY COWBOY today. She
had a big pair of ladies cowboy boots to fill after Milli Torres in Lucky in
Love but I think she did a fine job of kicking up the Texas dirt when she
inherited them. So let’s see what she thinks about her story in One Lucky
Cowboy. Carolyn Brown: What did you think the first time you laid eyes on Slade
Luckadeau? Jane Day: I thought he was a pompous ass who’d been spoiled his whole life and
didn’t have a clue about me even though he thought he’d figured out the whole
big picture that first two minutes. I wasn’t about to let him intimidate me. I
needed a place to hide out for a few weeks and he could live with it or drop
dead. Right then, I didn’t care which one he chose. CB: Was the heat between you obvious from the beginning? JD: Oh, yes. Take a look at the picture on the front of the book. Can you
imagine how I felt when all that testosterone walked in the house and looked
down at me? Why, the whole room lit up like a fireworks exhibition on the Fourth
of July. But he was practically engaged to a first rate witch and despite the
heat, I was never trusting a member of the male species again. So I fought the
heat and the sparks and the desire that kept me awake at night. CB: When did you really start to trust Slade? JD: It came about slowly but after a few weeks I could see he was a good, hard
working man who would never hurt a woman, physically or mentally. I think it
took him longer to finally give in and trust me than it did for me to trust him. CB: Did it feel good to finally deck his old girlfriend? JD: Oh, honey, that really, really felt good. The only bad thing was that it
didn’t last nearly long enough. Who’d have thought a parking lot cat fight could
be so damn much fun. CB: Tell me, how in the world can you eat so much when you are angry and not
put on a pound? JD: Who knows? It must be the adrenaline rush that comes with a hissy. Evidently
it eats all the excess calories and fat grams. Thank God it does. I’d be in big
trouble if it all went to hips and thighs.
CB: Do you think you’ll ever get bored in a town with less than two hundred
people? JD: Hell, no! The size isn’t important. You can be bored and lonely in a city
with eight million people or happy on a ranch in Ringgold, Texas. It’s all a
matter of where the heart decides to call home. CB: They tell me that Slade’s cousin, Griffin, who you thought you might have
a thing for in ONE LUCKY
COWBOY, locks up horns with a redheaded stick of dynamite in
GETTING LUCKY. What have you got
to say about that woman? JD: She’d better be nice. He’s a good man and a wonderful father. I’d hate to
have to set her straight but believe me, Milli and I can sure do it if we need
to. CB: Thank you, Jane for the interview. What advice would you give to the
readers before they start reading ONE LUCKY COWBOY? JD: You are very welcome. Advice? Tell the neighbors if they hear excessive
laughter not to call the boys in the white jackets, that you are just reading
the second book in the Lucky series and there are funny scenes. And if they hear
a sob or two, to please leave a box of tissue on the front porch. Other than
that, enjoy reading the book. I sat on Carolyn’s shoulder and told her exactly
what to write every day so it’s pretty authentic. ONE LUCKY COWBOY,

Hello everyone,
Thanks for having me on your site today. It's a pleasure to be here to introduce you to Ellacyn Hayes, aka Jane Day. Happy reading!
(Carolyn Brown 9:23am November 5, 2009)

Great interview. Jane Day has a neat sense of humor and sounds like an all round good character in the book. I'd love to read the "Lucky" books. Thanks.
(DeeAnn Szymanski 9:41am November 5, 2009)
OMG! Could a book cover be any hotter! As for Jane Day eating all that food and not gaining a pound, I am totally jealous! How amazing it is to loose yourself in a good book!
(Stefanie Finn 9:45am November 5, 2009)
I'm glad that Jane found someone who didn't hurt women - it's a sad day when women come to expect being hurt by the onew who are supposed to protect them!
(Karin Tillotson 10:04am November 5, 2009)
I love Luke's last name!
Thanks!

Carolyn, what a great idea for an interview. I LOVED IT!!! I hate to say I have not read your books but they sure are on my list now..that is why I am here on the web sites//to find new authors. I retired and have more time to read books so I want to see what I have been missing and you are one great author I am sorry I missed all these years. I sure hope to make it up and I love western style romance so much. The closest thing I could find to a real cowboy was a country boy but I guess he was my cup of tea as we just celebrated 46 years together as man and wife. I think it will last!!! ha ha Have a good day. susan leech

Hello again,
A little inside trader's note! LOL! Doubleday Book Club, Rhapsody Book Club and Book of the Month Club are all offering the books, too. So if you are a member of any of those you can find them there! They've bought the exclusive rights to reprint in hardback. Ali, it was great talking to you on Sunday.

(Carolyn Brown 2:07pm November 5, 2009)
If the book is as good as your interview with Jane Day, it will be a great read. Definitely on my TBR pile. Congratulations!
(Rosemary Krejsa 2:25pm November 5, 2009)

After reading the interview, I
immediately went to put both
books on my must read list. Love
romance with a laugh or two.
(Lisa Richards 4:17pm November 5, 2009)
Fun post! There's something about
cowboys that make them so irresistible.
(Sue Ahn 4:44pm November 5, 2009)
I enjoyed your post. Makes me want to go get myself a pair of cowboy boots.
(Vikki Parman 4:45pm November 5, 2009)
My grandparents lived on a cattle ranch. And I love being out in the country.
I think I'll really like these books.
(Jolynn Rood 5:03pm November 5, 2009)

(Kara Conrad 8:35pm November 5, 2009)
I'm going book shopping tomorrow (the stores will be closed by thr time I got there tonight). Your book is on my list. I loved the interview with Jane Day. I got a chuckle out of it. Jane must be a real pistol. Oh, by the way, I'm no relation to Jane even if we have the same last name (Ha Ha).
(Evelyn Day 8:54pm November 5, 2009)
Thanks to everyone who's stopped by for a visit with me today. It's been fun!
Carolyn Brown
(Carolyn Brown 9:37pm November 5, 2009)
great interview. This series looks fantastic and would love to read it. its definetly going on my TBB.
(Sara Hurt 11:13pm November 5, 2009)
What a great idea for a blog post!!! I really enjoyed reading this!
(Joyce Bair 11:59pm November 5, 2009)
I know a book is great when I find myself
laughing like a fool when I'm by myself.
It is a joy to find one of those, they are
just too rare. We all need more
opportunities to laugh.
(Patricia Barraclough 12:23pm November 6, 2009)
Sounds like the female character has a firm grip on the important things in life. Any story told with humor is sure to be a winner! And yes, I think we Texans have big hearts and are truly blessed with a generous dose of humor.
(Susan Driskill 12:31pm November 6, 2009)
Pls count me in - I have Book 1 on my tbr - it is in very good company. Love series books!
(Pat Lieberman 6:46am November 6, 2009)
That was great idea. It made the character come alive for me. Thanks
(Theresa Buckholtz 12:55pm November 6, 2009)
Hey thanks for keeping in character. Interviews told from the point of view of main characters help me glean a lot of background and further discovery of motivation, intention and sometimes revenge.
(Alyson Widen 5:34pm November 6, 2009)
I finished reading One Lucky Coowboy today and it is one of the most exhilerating books that I have read lately. It has comments that will make you hold your sides with laughter and others that will make you sigh and bring a tear to your eye. Very well written and attention grapper and holder. Excellent read.
(Diana Smith 4:59pm November 7, 2009)
Hi Carolyn
This character sounds delightful and I can't imagine why I haven't read any of your books before. I'm looking for your previous books as well.
(Harriett Kabrick 5:56pm November 7, 2009)
Thank you, Diana! I really enjoyed Jane and Slade. Glad you did, too! Look for a little update on them in Getting Lucky ... Carolyn Brown
(Carolyn Brown 7:26pm November 7, 2009)
Hi Carolyn, I have not read any of your books todate but plan to very soon. I love humor and this sounds like a great book.
(Brenda Hill 9:05pm November 8, 2009)
I just finished both "one lucky cowboy" and "lucky in love" and I can't WAIT for January and the third book in the series. They were both so very, very good, really kept my interest and left me oh-so-satisfied. I highly recommend them both to everyone - and come on January!
