Hi Dylann and welcome to HJ! We’re so excited to chat with you about your new release, Cowboy Charming!

 

Please summarize the book for the readers here:

They call him Casanova. But can this charming devil of a cowboy teach a good girl how to change her ways?

Small-town preacher’s daughter Dixie King is used to having a lot on her plate. Keep tabs on her flighty grandmother? No problem. Handle the honky-tonk’s first ever Chili Cook-Off? In the bag. Vamp it up to charm a would-be developer into leaving Holiday, Texas for good?

…now there she might need a helping hand.

Enter Presley Walker: Holiday’s own Cowboy Casanova and the perfect tutor for a good girl looking to go bad. He’s got charm in spades, and he’s always seemed like a terrible idea waiting to happen. But as Presley and Dixie work together to save their beloved hometown, these polar opposites might finally see the good in each other…if they can only learn to trust their hearts enough to fall.

 

What are your 5 Must Have Snacks While Writing?

This is a dangerous topic for me. Because if you’re going to make me name my must-have writing snacks then I’m going to have to think about them. And if I think about them, I’m going to want them. And if I start to want them and deny myself, I’m going to crave them. And if I crave them, I know I’ll end up going to the store to get them. And if I go to the store I’m probably going to peruse the book section. And if I peruse the book section I’m going to end up buying quite a few. And if I buy quite a few then I’m going to feel guilty for adding to my already overflowing TBR pile. And if I start to feel guilty then I’ll have to set aside time to read them. And if I set aside time to read them then I won’t be writing. And if I’m not writing then I won’t even need my snacks after all, right?
 
My logic may be slightly flawed, but thanks for going along with my rambling journey. At the risk of never writing another word, here are my 5 must have writing snacks. I’ve rated them on a danger scale from 1 to 10 on how tempting it is to know they’re in close proximity.
 
1. Jalapeno Potato Chips
I don’t typically keep these around the computer because who wants to end up with jalapeno flavoring on the keypad? But if I’m between scenes or taking a break, I often indulge in a handful or two of these tempting treats. Spicy and crunchy, they leave a little sting on the tongue. They’re not for everyone but they make my Texas-at-heart soul sing.
Danger Level: 2
 
2. Black & White Trail Mix
I have to hide this from my family members. Otherwise my son will pick out all of the chocolate and leave me with nuts and raisins. Granted, nuts and raisins are probably better for me, but I live for the handfuls that have that little bit of chocolatey goodness.
Danger Level: 4
 
3. Sour Patch Kids
Somehow sinking my teeth into one of these sugary kid-shaped treats gives me great satisfaction. When I’m working on a particularly challenging scene or am having a frustrating writing day, nothing helps me get back into the groove than taking my aggression out on a box of Sour Patch Kids.
Danger Level: 5
 
4. Salted Caramels (the giant Costco container)
These are a treat and meant to be savored, not gobbled. Typically I’ll reward myself with one a day if I meet my writing goals. But every once in a while they call to me from the other side of the room. Dylann…Dylann… Hold on, I’ll be back.
Danger Level: 8
 
5. Peanut Butter M&Ms
I’ve tried to cheat on my all-time favorite but I always come back. With the perfect blend of crisp outer shell and creamy peanut butter goodness, I can scarf down an entire bag at once. I can’t keep these in the house for more than a few hours or they’ll disappear.
Danger Level: 10
 
 

Thanks for blogging at HJ!

    I loved your answers Dylann, I’ll have to remember peanut butter M&M’s for you! My snack while reading is unsalted peanuts. My 2nd is a pickle, and 3rd is Jerky.
    I’m so excited about this book, Presley has always intrigued me. Let’s see if he can knock Beck off his throne since I declared that book my favorite summer book, that release year. LOL!

    Lately, I have been buying Cajun style trail mix from Walmart and enjoy it sometimes when I read in the afternoon. But, most of the time, I don’t eat or drink anything while reading. I focus to hard to even stop for food or drink.

    Chex Mix I love that stuff but Dylann I do love Peanut Butter M&Ms and I don’t buy them because I will eat the whole bag. Dixie and Presley are amazing I am loving them best of all of any of these Books

    I’m more likely to have a drink – water as often as not – rather than food whlle reading. Unless I’m reading while I eat a meal.

    no snacks. But I do have to have beverages…. water, coffee, hot cocoa 😉 thanks for sharing!
