I have been an avid reader for a zillion years and got my love of books going very early. After I had read all of Nancy Drew and most of the Hardy Boys I moved into ‘westerns’. They are still a fave genre of mine especially if there is a romance! Most of Zane Grey’s books did have a romance, very mild by today’s standards but that was still my favorite part. I go back and re-read one now and then as well as Louis L’Amour, and a few of the more modern writers. I still have a steno notebook where I wrote my own “ranch romances” as a teenager. They are worth a giggle or two.

My daughter read the “Long Arm” and “Lone Star” series but I never quite got into them–they were pretty hot as the hero had a female sidekick who was one frisky lady LOL. One of my fave modern authors of the western romance genre is Ginger Simpson and we will hear from her in a little while!

How about some of you readers sharing some faves with us? I love to find new authors and share rememberances with other readers too! Any CTR staff hanging around today? You are in on this too!!
