Jody Hedlund:
Some of the back of your books say you enjoy happily-ever-afters, but have you ever considered a bittersweet or mediocre ending? (I apologize if you've written one and I've missed it. I've read 18 of your books, but that's only half--I have lots more to see!)
Jody Hedlund
Great question! For the romance genre, the majority of readers truly do expect a happily-ever-after ending. As an avid reader of romance myself, I not only expect a HEA, it's what I LOVE! Since, I'm writing the books I would love to read, I wouldn't ever be able to write anything but a HEA! I'm of the opinion that there are too many bittersweet and mediocre endings in real life. So with fiction, I want a book to inspire me and give me courage that I can be a better person. I hope readers feel the same with my novels!

Oh. My. Goodness. I just finished To Tame a Cowboy, and my head is spinning! I will be posting a review soon, but for now, I wanted to ask some questions: First, Savannah being from Georgia and Brody having fought in the Civil War, I began to wonder... have you considered writing romances in the Old South (i.e., Gone-with-the-Wind-like novels with a happy ending and clean content)?

Jody Hedlund:
Hi Ms. Hedlund! I have a question about the book 'A Daring Sacrifice'. What happened exactly when Sir Collin had to go away? In the end of the book, he said that Sir Bennet and his family. Does that mean he went to help his mother, father, sister, etc.? Or has he already been married and the plot overlapped into the third book 'For Love and Honor' like it did in 'And Uncertain Choice' and 'A Daring Sacrifice'?
