The standard answer has to be...the one I'm working on now. That sounds like a dodge or like a cliche maybe, but the truth is, when you're in the middle of writing a series, I at least, get so deep into the characters, get to know them, enjoy them, and so you feel closest to them, the ones you're working on right now.(less)

“Of course she'd told him she would, but if the man hadn't registered her sarcasm, then he wasn't making full use of his ears.”
Mary Connealy, Petticoat Ranch

“Rafe hadn’t been around women much, but since he’d gotten married to one of the little critters, he’d noticed they seemed to have to say out loud every thought in their head. Including stuff everybody already knew. It’d snowed. Today it was real nice. It was called weather. What was there to talk about?”
Mary Connealy, Over the Edge

“The decent, strong person had to do decent, strong things like love unlovable people and keep peace even when it wasn't easy.”

Mary Connealy, Sharpshooter in Petticoats

“To my way of thinking, no one can live in the grandest cathedral on earth, the Rocky Mountains, and not know that there's someone bigger than man in charge of the world.”
Mary Connealy, Petticoat Ranch

Noemi Goodson Hi Mary thanks for accepting my friend request. I got hooked on your books when I found the First book of the Kincaid Brides Series. I couldn't put the book down and when I finished the first one I went and found the rest of the books to continue the Journey. I felt like I was in the book itself exploring the taverns. Have you been in caves or tunnels before? I haven't after reading this series I might give it a try. Noemi


Nicole Hi Mary! Thanks for adding me! I love your humorous writing style - you make me smile :D
