Welcome to Callie's Heart Blog Tour 2012
An Interview with Kathleen Ball

 Hello Everyone! We have the Awesome Kathleen Ball, author of Callie's Heart, on the blog today. Welcome to I Love My Authors Kathleen. So glad you are here, I have been watching your stories develop for the past year. Congratulations on being published. 

Meet the Author

A voracious reader, Kathleen quickly discovered the world of romance novels and she knew she was home. At the encouragement of her sister Tricia, she decided to try writing. Kathleen wrote her first book two years ago. She was shocked to find out that people loved what she wrote. All of Kathleen's novels are award winners. Callie's Heart is her first published novel. It is the first book in The Lasso Springs Series. Kathleen lives in Texas. She moved there from Rochester, New York and is having the time of her life exploring Texas culture. Kathleen is married to her wonderful husband Bruce and they have one son, Steven. They just welcomed new additions to their family, a new daughter in law, Brittany and her cute as a button son, Colt.

She feels blessed to be supported in her writing by her family and friends.

The Interview

What steps have you taken to succeed?
I have watched, learned, asked for and taken advice. I started networking before I was published and that has helped. I also entered a few RWA contests that give you feedback. I think that was my greatest learning tool.


Anything exciting coming up in the near future?
I have a new series Dawson’s Ranch. Texas Haven will be available in June and Ryelee’s Cowboy in August from Secret Cravings Publishing. My Lasso Springs series-- Callie’s Heart is now available. Lone Star Joy will be released Sept 21 and Stetson’s Storm Feb 21, 2013 from Desert Breeze Publishing. 
Secret Cravings has asked me to do a free series on Sundays. The working title is Luke’s Fate. I will add to it every week.


How did you get started?
I always had a book in my hand. I love to read. My sister Tricia encouraged me to try writing.


Give us a sample of your work.
He filled out wranglers like no one else. His blue western shirt wasn't as tight as some cowboys wore theirs, but Callie knew that he was buff with six-pack abs. He'd taken his shirt off a lot last summer and she never shied away from looking. Her expression must have shown her sorrow, the look of sympathy Garrett gave her made her stomach turn. Somehow, she had to get him out of her system.


What animals do you have?
I have two cats Tiger and Callie


 Favorite book.
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott


Are you clumsy or graceful?
I wish I could say graceful but unfortunately, I’m the one that always trips.

 Introducing Callie's Heart

Callie Daniels' mother has one dying wish. She wants neighboring rancher, Garrett O'Neill, to marry her seventeen year old daughter. It's not supposed to be a conventional marriage.Garrett O'Neill would keep Callie's ranch safe and Callie would go away to college.


Four years later, Callie comes home with stars in her eyes and happily ever after in her heart. She plans to make their marriage real until finds the new housekeeper, Sylvie in Garrett's arms.


Heartbroken, Callie takes off to her own house, which they closed up four years ago. She stays there with Old Henry, a longtime friend and ranch hand, until her new horse injures her. Garrett forces Callie to move back in to his house.


Callie finally gets her heart's desire. Alone in a line shack, they make sweet love for the first time. Unfortunately the love light is gone from Garret's eyes the next morning.
