MONTANA BLUEPRINT FOR LOVE was such a fun book to write. Partly because itās the first in the series and I love beginings. But also because it gave me an excuse to watch hours of HGTV: Property Brothers, Home Town, Love It or List It, This Old House, etcā¦.
As I wrote this story about a young woman at a crossroads in her life, I had no problem picturing her picking up a hammer to help her family, but I knewāeven if she didnātāthat helping Boone Fielding flip her fatherās āmoney pitā would bring Ruby back to her dreams and long-forgotten passion, which had been buried under a pile of obligations and expectations.
This book made me reflect on my path to becoming an author. My high school English teacher told me, āDeb, youāre a very good writer, but thatās not a practical career path. Maybe you should major in journalism.ā So, I tried. For one semester. Then, I tried a bunch of other things. Eventually, I wound up working as a feature writer for a newspaper, but journalism was never my passion. (They sorta frowned on people making things up. š) So, I completely identified with Rubyās need to rediscover what made her tickābuilding, remodeling, bringing old wrecks back to life.
And, because she was the firstborn of the McCall girls, she knew how to twist arms and make her sisters join in the āfun.ā That each sister found herself AND her dream hero in the process was the best part of writing this series.
If you havenāt read the Property Sisters of Montana series, hereās your chance to download three books for the price of two. šĀ
