    • Snippet: Finding Kimber: An Unexpected Encounter

      Posted at 1:10 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on February 25, 2018

      For this excerpt, Kimber meets her dog for the first time. It doesn’t sound like an interesting excerpt to read about Kimber meeting her dog, but there’s more going on here, especially after what happened earlier in this scene. Now, after this second revelation, she’ll have some explaining to do in the near future. It isn’t an explanation she ever wanted to give to anyone. Picture Kimber leaving the barn after turning out the horses this early morning. She hadn’t expected to see Zach standing there, and especially hadn’t expected to meet his brother for the first time. She’s standing in a knee-length cotton robe with a thin gown underneath. Introductions happened earlier in the scene. The guys are getting ready to leave.


      She’s wary of her future. He’s burdened by his past.

      At that moment, a dog whined. Kimber widened her eyes. “I didn’t know you had a dog, Zach. Tyler?”

      “We don’t here in Arizona.” Zach headed to his truck. He opened the door and brought out a mid-size, long-haired dog. “You do.” He plopped the dog into her arms.

      Tyler chuckled. “I found her on the road between here and Boulder City. The poor girl has no tags, and she looks like she’s been neglected. My mama would whoop my behind if I left her there. I took a picture and left my phone number at the nearest rest stop.”

      “But—”

      Zach cut in, “You said you were lonely at night. Now you don’t have to be. I can’t keep her in the loft all day while I’m working, and she didn’t take kindly to Jake’s dog, Kasha.”

      “You’re giving her to me?” Kimber’s gaze followed Tyler out the back door and down toward the fence where she took the horses.

      “Maybe. You’re not allergic to dogs, are you? If it isn’t a problem, can you keep her here for me? It’s better for her here than locked up in the loft.”

      Kimber put her down before dropping her. She tickled the dog under her white chin. “She’s so cute, but she needs a bath and a good brushing. Have you named her?” She kept one hand on her in case she bolted. “You could bring her here daily with you, but I’ll keep her here. I hope she likes horses.”

      “She acted like they were no big deal over at Jake’s. I haven’t named her.” He called Tyler to leave. “Naming is your job, Red.”

      The dog rolled over, and Kimber patted her gray belly. “I can’t tell what she is. Part border collie? But the gray—”

      The pooch got up and shook sand from her stormy gray and white coat. “Looks a little like one. We have a couple on the ranch. She’s mixed though.”

      “I’ll have a name for her by time I see you for dinner tonight. Do either you or Tyler have any food allergies?” She got a dumbfounded look from Zach.

      “The reason I ask is because I’m allergic to turmeric. Weird, I know. I don’t know anyone else allergic to it. It can be a problem, but I carry an auto-injector with me.”

      Zach blinked. His Adams apple got stuck trying to swallow, it seemed. He chewed at a corner of his bottom lip, snapped his fingers and pointed at her. Then he closed his hand, bringing it to his chest.

      She repeated, “Do you or Tyler have food allergies?”

      He cleared his throat, came closer then lowered his gaze to her lips. His eyes flicked back to hers. Usually, his dreamy orbs sparkled in the sunlight, but not now. They darkened like grass in an oil spill. Tyler headed toward them.

      “Zach?” She asked again, nervous now due to his menacing glare, and she wished to be somewhere else. On the other side of the planet would work. Had he figured it out?

      “Uh uh.” Zach crouched and lifted the dog, squeezing her in a gentle hug.

      She looked small in Zach’s strong arms. Kimber stroked her fur, but Zach fell back a step. “Thank you for this. I’ll take good care of her for you.”

      His voice changed to a somber tone. “There might be something in the tack room to tie around her neck and a rope to keep her from running off until she gets to know you.”

      “I hope she’s housebroken.”

      “I’m positive she is.” Zach carried the dog with him. He glanced back at her with a frown, then he and Tyler entered the tack room.

      Kimber trembled as he walked away. She folded her arms, squeezing them. Something happened. A wrinkle interrupted their… Their what? Their working relationship that finally worked for a short time? The fact he was kind to the dog said something about him, but his instant melancholy veneer said the opposite.

      She rushed to her bedroom to dress for the day. She’d love to have a new dress to wear tonight, but now dinner was the last thing she wanted. Tonight, she wanted to be alone, but dammit, she’d blurted out the invitation. She couldn’t back out. This business meeting was her future. Hurriedly, she put in her contacts so he didn’t have to stare at her blue eyes any longer when he brought the dog up to the house.

    • #AmWriting Writing Advice That Doesn’t Work For Me

      Posted at 7:05 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on February 23, 2018

      It seems like more than eight weeks have gone by in the year. February alone, for me, seems like it’s been at least eight weeks. It’s the shortest month! But we are in the eighth week of the Marketing for Romance Writers 52-Week Blog Challenge Blog Hop. Our #MFRWauthor topic this week is:

      Worst Writing Advice I’ve Gotten. 

      I modified the topic a little to suit my need.

      Week 8: Worst Bad Writing Advice (for me)

      Who am I to say this is bad advice?  It’s advice that doesn’t work for me. I’m NOT saying it’s bad advice for others. Or that it’s bad advice at all. We all have to write our own way. My way isn’t your way. My process can’t be compared to your process.

      What’s the advice or rule I’m talking about?

      “Don’t edit as you go.”

      This process works for other authors and some participants in NaNoWriMo. Me? I have to edit as I go. I have to. It kills me not to go back and rewrite. I can’t tell you how often I rewrite, rewrite, rewrite my beginning. This is how I write. I go back to edit. When I say I edit as I go, it isn’t like I type a paragraph and have to go back to edit it unless the BRAT nudges.

      I’ll do this when I’m finished writing for the day or if I need a break to think something through before continuing. Sometimes, I wait until the next day or next writing session. Of course, it takes longer to finish a draft this way, but it makes the revisions much easier.

      If I’m away from a manuscript, like a have been with my current WIP while revising one of my other books, I’ll go back to the beginning to reread and rewrite as I get familiar with the story again.

      Writing without editing as you go works for many, many authors. There’s nothing wrong with the process, for them. At times I wish I could sit down and write a draft this way, but if I try, I am fighting with myself. There’s a little BRAT sitting on my shoulder poking at me, whispering in my ear that I missed a word back there, or I needed to fix something, and it won’t let up. It’s as simple as:

      This process doesn’t work for me.

      My bad advice isn’t your bad advice. Do what works for you.

      We’re at Week Eight in the Blog Hop. Let’s click HERE to read what other authors have to say.

      Thanks for your visit today. Enjoy your weekend.

    • Tuesday Inspiration for the Muse: Imagination

      Posted at 12:27 pm by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on October 10, 2017

      Mary J McCoy-Dressel, western romance, cowboy romance

      Isn’t this quote nice? It is to me. The quote says a lot in only a couple lines. Robert Brault wrote this.  A while back, I wrote a post where I mentioned *Robert Brault about how I’ve used his quotes (with permission) in some of my books. I had no idea what I’d post today until I came across this on The Quote Garden website. My muse approves.

      Mary J McCoy-Dressel, Western romance, Series Romance

      Our imagination is a palette of bright colors though sometimes it can be dark and bleak. My favorite part of this quote is “You can use it to touch up memories.” I’ve done this before with memories that don’t emanate bright colors. But, can we hide the real color of a memory? I love the other part of this sentence, too… “or you can use it to paint dreams.”

      I have used imagination with my memories in writing–the bright and the dark of my memories–but either way, I am painting dreams when I use them. Hats off to Mr. Robert Brault for this quote that inspired my muse today.

      I know many of you have used your imagination to paint dreams. I see it in the photos you take, the music you make, the recipes you share, and the words that you write.

      The imagination is a pallet of bright colors. You can use it to touch up memories — or you can use it to paint dreams. ~Robert Brault


      *FYI: Robert Brault is a free-lance writer who has contributed to magazines and newspapers in the USA for over 40 years. I visited Robert’s site today and discovered he has another NEW BOOK!

      Have a great rest of the week.

      How do you all paint with your imagination?

    • #MFRWauthor Onward~Ten Years Down the Road

      Posted at 6:27 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on August 11, 2017

      #MFRWauthor Week 32: Ten Years From Now

      I’m guilty of being blog absent these days. Two reasons:

      1. I’m getting another western romance novel ready to go to the editor. (My tenth western romance.) I have one more proof read to go through before sending it to my editor.
      2. The other reason for being blog absent is because I haven’t had anything to say. I didn’t try hard to find something to write about, so this blog hop helps.

      I didn’t want to have two weeks go by without contributing to the Marketing for Romance Writers Blog Challenge Blog Hop, so here I am at week thirty-two. I’m briefly writing about Ten Years from Now.

      Oh, boy. At this point in my life, I’m not sure I care to plan so far ahead. For one thing, I hope I’m alive, in decent health, and still have my eyesight. Oh, and that my back gets back to normal. It’d be nice if I lived near both of my boys, but the chance is slim. Very slim. One is already out of state, and the other will be in another state sooner than I want to think about. They’ll be on opposite coasts. If I can take turns spending time with them, and living independently in ten years, I’ll be happy.

      Of course, I hope the world is still here in ten years.

      As far as finally living my lifelong dream of being a full time writer, I hope in ten years I’ll be able to sit back and not have to worry about income, thanks to full-time writing now. If someone had told me ten years ago that I’d be doing this now, I wouldn’t have believed them, but it happened.

      Mary J McCoy-Dressel, western romance

      Nonetheless, I DON’T want to be sitting at my computer writing one book after the other to ensure my financial stability when I’m ten years older. I DO want to sit at my computer and continue to write for pleasure at my own pace. Don’t get me wrong—I write for pleasure now, but I’m also building for whatever future I have remaining. What the heck will a computer look like in ten years? A book?

      I’ve been divorced. I’ve been widowed… Been loved. Been not-so-loved. Had best friends. Lost best friends. None of us know what’ll happen to us tomorrow…or an hour from now let alone to think of ten years down the road, but I’m thinking positively.

      Please know…

      YOUNG people should be planning for ten years from now. I repeat: Young people should be planning for ten years from now. Your future depends on what you do now. This doesn’t only mean to plan your financial future, but a healthy future too. Start planning.

      So there it is. I don’t have big dreams for ten years from now–like traveling the world, being on Dancing with the Stars, winning a Nobel Peace Prize, or being a grandmother, which would’ve happened by now and it hasn’t.   😦   Truly, I don’t often ask for much. In ten years, I want to live a life that is comfortable for me. How about you?

    • Week 23~ Whoa, That’s A Long Book! #MFRWauthor Blog Challenge

      Posted at 8:10 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on June 9, 2017

      Here we are at Week 23 in the #MFRWauthor 52-Week Blog Challenge Blog Hop.

      I missed last week because I had my youngest son and daughter-in-law’s belated wedding reception to prepare for, and my oldest son visited from California. They all kept me pleasantly busy. Some of you might remember my youngest was married in October with only parents at the wedding, but the reception was for EVERYONE! Later this year, they’ll have their Official/ Unofficial honeymoon in Ireland.

      On to today’s topic: Word Count Matters… How Much? How Often?

      I’m not sure how to respond to this topic about word counts. Let’s see what I can come up with for Word Count…How much? How Often?

      As the Author:

      How Much: To me, a large word count matters in the cost of editing, formatting, and the cost of delivery in eBook format.

      I have one eBook that has a delivery charge, which is Hey, Cowboy, Bull Rider Series #2, my largest book to date. In fact, I almost split it up into two books, but instead, I made Part One and Part Two within the same book. In revisions a few years later, I cut down the word count. The original word count was around 129,000 words. The revised edition is around 118.000. This was also the most expensive to publish regarding editing and formatting.

      Update: Secret Santa’s Rundown Sleigh: A Holiday Romance Novella is my shortest to date and can be read in two hours or less.

      Word count matters when it comes to publishing houses. I don’t know if they all have word count guidelines, but the ones I’ve looked at do. Anthologies have word count guidelines whether they count full stories or excerpts only.

      How Much: When I start a book, I have a word count in my mind, but I’m not disciplined enough, apparently, to adhere to it. Sure, I could stick to an outline or a strict guideline, but truthfully, I don’t want to.

      How Often: It’s my goal to stay under 80,000 words in future books. After this one → My current Work in Progress (WIP) is longer than I wanted, and I’ve tried cutting, cutting, cutting, but to tell the story that needs to be told, I’ve gone way over the word count I wanted even at the top end. Many revisions are ahead of me on this book. I’m excited to see where it takes me since I wrote The End three days ago.

      With a shorter word count on some books, I’ve heard authors mention reviews stating their books were too short or the reader wanted more.

      As the Reader:

      I don’t buy books by word count. The cost factor matters sometimes. I catch myself looking at the size/ word count at a higher priced book, but if it’s a book I really want, cost or size doesn’t matter.

      How Often: Once in a while I prefer a shorter book—a novella or mid-size. At Christmastime, I purchased some shorter holiday stories and read them quickly. I was happy with the stories because at the time all I wanted was a short read.

      How often might also depend on an author writing a short-story or novella between larger works or as a prequel to a book or series. In my opinion, this benefits the author by keeping a steady flow of new books coming out. It benefits the reader because they get to read another book by one of their favorite authors. Readers might also want to sample an author’s writing, and picking up a free or discounted, shorter, book is a good introduction.

      I don’t know if this prompt pulled out of me what was intended, but this is my input on the topic of Word Count Matters… How much? How often?

      How about you, blog readers? What is your word count preference as a writer and reader? Does it matter?

      This is a blog hop. Please visit the other participants to see what they have to say.

      Have a nice weekend. Stay cool! Thanks for reading.

    • Short Snippet Saturday: Time to Live Again

      Posted at 8:25 am by Mary J. McCoy-Dressel, on May 29, 2016

      Short Snippet Saturday posts will be less frequent. I’ve decided to post to this theme no more than once a month.

      western romance, contemporary romance, Mary J McCoy-Dressel

      You’ll still see a snippet now and then, especially with a new book coming out. Today, I’m posting an excerpt from Howdy, Ma’am. This is book one of three in the Bull Rider Series. The books in this series have been revised more than once since publication. All the back matter had to be updated, too, so I took the opportunity to revise and hire a new editor.

      In fact, my newsletter is ready to be sent to subscribers, but I’ll wait until after Memorial Day. It’s never too late to get signed up to be notified of new releases and important book updates.


      For an overview of what Howdy, Ma’am is about, and to give you an idea of why Velia ended up in Tucson in this snippet, I’ll include the Blurb.

      Mary J McCoy-Dressel books, brand-new Bull Rider Series Cover banner 2021, cowboys, western setting, snow

      Blurb

      Bull rider Caulder McCutchen has a good chance of winning the converted buckle this year, knowing he has to ride harder, go bigger, or go home. Winning consumes him, but it doesn’t take away the pain from a tremendous loss less than two years ago. He hires a feisty photographer to travel the bull riding circuit with him for a season. A little extra publicity can’t hurt, and she’s easy on the eyes. When he finds himself passionately attracted to her, will this sassy little Italian prove to be just what his claim to fame needs—or a disastrous distraction?

      Velia Armano had the strength to walk away from an abusive husband. She moves from Chicago to Tucson, Arizona and opens her own photography studio. Six months into her well-ordered life alone, a hunky cowboy saunters in with his howdy, ma’am and flame blue eyes, offering a job any photographer would find hard to refuse. She accepts his offer and discovers they both have their own obstacles to overcome. While trying to resist his heated embraces and gentle nature, she hopes to find the right answer before the season ends—to remain in her self-appointed exile, or give in to a happily ever after.

      When the season ends, who wins the real prize?

      Just thinking of Howdy, Ma’am (The Bull Rider Series) makes me smile. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I would be hard-pressed not to as a serious cowboy lover. Amazon Reviewer from Night Owl Reviews.


      Here we go:

      Velia waited in front of her new home while the movers unloaded file000695143241the last of her belongings. This place would be home for now. Home until she was ready to go back on the road with her camera. In a couple days, she would sign the lease on the small building in town to start her new photography business.

      Home, until her life began again.

      She tossed her hair over her shoulder and stepped out of her car. Removing sunglasses, her eyes narrowed against the bright Arizona sun. She swiped roseate-colored lipstick across her full lips and blotted them against each other. When the movers finished, she paid the balance with a money order. Glancing around at the dry desert environment, she took a deep breath and wiped sweat from her brow.

      She stomped sand from the bottom of her flats then took a step forward, stopping in front of the broken-down steps. With a mournful sigh, she whispered, “Home.” She placed her purse strap over her shoulder and looked to the second level. Standing straight, she pulled her shoulders back and headed inside, careful not to catch a toe in the cracks of the damaged steps.

      Time to live again.

      When she went inside, Alice Smith, her landlady, met her at the door.

      “Please come and have some tea, dear, before you get started upstairs.” The elderly lady escorted Velia to the kitchen. “You try to get used to living here if you can. I hope a couple old fogies don’t bother you too much.”

      Velia gave a subtle smile. “I’m happy to be here.” This was peace. This was what she needed.


      Thank you for reading.
