Thanks everyone for stopping by today. Hope your holiday plans are going well. Are you a cowboy fan? If so, who was the first cowboy of your dreams? Was he anything like Trace?
Mason - Thanks for sharing this one. The rodeo's an interesting context for a novel - so much goes on 'behind the scenes' and it really does take a lot of preparation.
