The Authors Behind Cutter’s Creek

I promised that I would introduce you to my new friends this week and I almost missed it! It all started at the end of last year. A friend of mine posted a link to a small publisher looking for an anthology. It had to be connected by something and it had to be written by four different authors. This was no small task. I really felt drawn to doing it, but at the time, I had no inspiration. The original group I had been a part of fell apart and I resigned myself to not writing anything for that submission.

In January, I couldn’t get my mind off of this opportunity. But I didn’t know who I would ask, or even if we would make it in time to submit. I posted to the author page attached to a reader group I frequent, Pioneer Hearts, on Facebook that I was looking for three other authors who wrote Christian historical westerns. I’ll post the link to the reader group below. If you like my novels, you will probably find more novels you would enjoy there. I also asked a new friend who had helped me with the launch of For Richer or Poorer, Annie Boone. She was quick to join my group. I got a message from Kit Morgan that she was interested. Kit and I had not ever spoken before that and it has been so fun getting to know her through this process.

We had three people but needed a fourth. Kit suggested one author who already worked with that published with that publisher. She was too busy to join us. While we were waiting for the other author to reply, Vivi Holt set her first western title to preorder and it looked good. Annie and I had known her from another group we are on for clean reads and thought she would make a good fit. The other author told us she was just too busy to take on another project and I messaged Vivi immediately. She was just who we were looking for. We now have this great team of four!

Here are the authors!

Annie Boone

Annie Annie Boone grew up going to museums and watching historical movies with her family. Her dad was a history buff and then she married a history buff. Her vow to never watch another historical movie or go to a Civil War museum again fell by the wayside.

Annie has been writing romance since high school and she loves to write Western Christian Romance stories today. Weaving a Christian element into her stories helps her be constantly reminded of her own faith.

Annie enjoys naming her characters and she does this at the start of her writing process. Many of the characters in her stories are named after people who have been or are currently important in her life. For example, Viola in “Don’t Fence Him In” is named after her paternal grandmother and Frederick is named after her father-in-law. Neither character is based on their personalities, but she used their names as a tiny tribute.

When you read an Annie Boone story, you won’t be pounded with scriptures, but the characters – at least most of them! – are God fearing people. They trust in God to help them through life’s twists and turns as many of us do today.

Annie lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband and two cats. She is fortunate to travel often to the West. Her favorite places are Wyoming and Arizona.

Vivi lives in beautiful Brisbane, Australia with her husband and three young children. Growing up on a farm she learned to love the country life and now she writes about it in her books.

And of course, you know me,
