Today's guest author is Shanna Hatfield
A hopeless romantic with a bit of sarcasm thrown in for good measure, Shanna is a bestselling author of sweet romantic fiction written with a healthy dose of humor. In addition to blogging and eating too much chocolate, she is completely smitten with her husband, lovingly known as Captain Cavedweller.
Shanna creates character-driven romances with realistic heroes and heroines. Her historical westerns have been described as “reminiscent of the era captured by Bonanza and The Virginian” while her contemporary works have been called “laugh-out-loud funny, and a little heart-pumping sexy without being explicit in any way.” She is a member of Western Writers of America, Women Writing the West, and Romance Writers of America.
Shanna wants to invite you to her Cowboys and Christmas Blog Tour, a fabulous Facebook party, and a few contests where you can win some great prizes. She also has a free book for you. Welcome Shanna! And thank you for visiting my blog!

A kickoff of two new
holiday romances by Shanna Hatfield
and a fundraiser for the
Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund
Interview with Shanna Hatfield
Shanna joins us to talk about new holiday romances, a fundraiser, and to answer a few
questions.
Most of us have strong feelings about our high school experience. Was
yours a yay or a nay?
Somewhere between the two. I did well academically and enjoyed most of my
classes, but I was a shy, introverted wallflower, not a social butterfly. On
top of that, I lived on a farm fifteen miles out of town so there wasn’t a lot
of opportunity to hang out after school with other kids even if I wanted to.
Did you play sports in high school?
Me? Play sports? (Laughing) The combination of being painfully shy
and accident-prone didn’t bode well for a high school sports career. And there
was that whole living out in the country thing with long bus ride to contend
with. My husband, Captain Cavedweller, made up for my lack of athletic ability
during his high school years. He played football and wrestled, although I never
watched him in action since we didn’t meet until the year I graduated from
college.
Pubslush is a global marketing platform to assist authors with
pre-publication publicity and sales. Do you have any key marketing tips for
authors?
You can’t do every single social media site or join every group people
recommend. Find two or three that feel like a good fit and immerse yourself in
those. Build relationships first and the rest will fall into place.
Can you tell us about your latest project?
I’d
love to! Today, my new historical holiday romance, The
Christmas Calamity releases. It’s the third book in my Hardman
Holiday series. All your readers are invited to join in the party today on
Facebook where we’ll have guest authors, fun games and great giveaways. This week also kicks off a campaign I’m doing to raise funds and awareness
for the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund. I first learned about the JCCF when I wrote
the first book in the Rodeo Romance series, The Christmas Cowboy.
The second book in the series, Wrestlin' Christmas, is recently
released, just in time for the holiday season. In addition, I just sent the first book in a brand-new series to the
proofreaders. The historical romance is set in 1890 about a rancher who
inherits far more than he imagined when his brother passes away in England.
Look for Crumpets and Cowpies in January!
Where can we find your books?
Start the Rodeo
Romance Series with The Christmas Cowboy.
Travel back to a different time with
the historic Hardman Holiday Series,
beginning with The Christmas Bargain.
Now through Dec. 24, Shanna will donate 10 percent of the net proceeds from all book sales to the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund. The JCCF is a non-profit organization that assists rodeo athletes who’ve sustained catastrophic injuries and are unable to work for an extended period.
Where can readers find you?
I love to hear from readers! Follow me online:
