We're happy to have Cathy Bryant with us today talking about her book, A Path Less Traveled. Cathy has been kind enough to offer to give away a copy to one lucky blog reader. To learn more about Cathy and her book, read on!
1) How did this story come to you?
During the writing of my first novel in the Miller’s Creek Series (TEXAS ROADS), I really grew to love Andy’s character and knew that I wanted to find a romantic interest for him. Trish James made the most logical choice, though it meant a horrible accident for her husband.
2) Tell us about the journey to getting this book published.
I actually wrote most of the book in November 2009, but had to lay it aside to launch TEXAS ROADS. I finally had time to get back to it June 2010. In August, I started sending the book out to beta readers, and just recently sent the manuscript to proof-editors. The book is in the process of being published in both print and e-book format.
3) Tell me three things about yourself that would surprise your readers.
1) I have a music education degree with trumpet as my primary instrument.
2) I’m a reality TV junkie.
3) I was a drum major in high school.
4) What are you working on now and what's next for you?
I’m currently launching Book 2 in the Miller’s Creek series, A Path Less Traveled. Next on the agenda is writing Book 3 in the series.
5) Parting comments?
I’m currently taking pre-orders on A Path Less Traveled for a reduced rate. You can find out the details on my blog, WordVessel (http://wordvessel.blogspot.com/).
6) Where can fans find you on the internet?

Finally! The book I've been waiting for! I enjoyed Texas Roads so much and I know I'll enjoy the newest one just as well. Cathy, what a perfect cover for the story. It says Texas! If I don't win a copy of "The Road Less Traveled," I might need to pre-order a copy. Thanks for this giveaway and to KDawn, the chance to win this great book. I hope I do.

ReplyDeleteI am interested in this book because it says that the heroine is going to teach a deaf person. Not too many people realize that deaf people feel left out by the hearing world. Good to include them in a book. I was taught this by a deaf friend at work.
