It's classic western with a big family ranch, hunky brothers around, sweeping vistas, treacherous bad guys, and a mysterious legend. Marie, you do such an amazing job with description. It places the reader right there, even to watch the sunset.

I've seen some that have taken my breath away (and like you, didn't have my camera). The one that inspired my story was so spectacular, I had to pull over into a parking lot and watch the sun sink behind the mountains!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328966473242925851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413375430298785234.post-47103695326914593592011-12-16T06:37:36.293-08:002011-12-16T06:37:36.293-08:00Good morning, Kim!

You asked about my typical writing day....well, I write every morning between 4:30 and 6:00 before I head off to the day job. They say you can train your brain and I've found it's true. When the alarm goes off, my characters are already clammoring in my head, urging me to tell their story! <br /><br />Linda, I'Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328966473242925851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413375430298785234.post-86849835479755727182011-12-16T06:36:49.519-08:002011-12-16T06:36:49.519-08:00I used to live in Phoenix, and the sunsets were be...I used to live in Phoenix, and the sunsets were beyond any I've ever seen anywhere else. The most spectacular one I ever saw was back in about 1988, driving from Flagstaff to Phoenix.

That, and the more you eat, the less I do. ;) Your cover is beautiful and your story sounds intriguing. I love a touch of the legend. And yes, we do have beautiful sunsets here in Arizona, don't we.
