I am so excited to bring you the January episode of The Book Club Life podcast with award-winning (and reader favorite) historical romance author, Karen Witemeyer! Karen has been bringing humor, heart, wit, and Texas-sized happily-ever-afters to my reading life ever since I read my first by her: A Tailor Made Bride. She consistently draws me in, makes me care, and even encourages me in the process. I’m currently reading her Texas Ever After series… and y’all, it’s chef’s kiss! Or should I say a dream wished? (In keeping with the fairy tale theme.) ; )

When I got a chance to be at the same writer’s conference as her, I reached out to see if she could do an interview. She said yes!!!

It was a total blast getting to know the woman behind the books. I think you will love her!

We discussed:

• How she met her husband
• Inner beauty
• Outer beauty
• growing in confidence
• how (not) to judge others
• writing advice
• Fairest of Heart
• And so much more!
• We even had a duel… ; )

Come listen in on The Book Club Life podcast or watch on the YouTube channel. Then scroll down to enter the giveaway!

Interview with Karen Witemeyer

Isn’t she just awesome?! Y’all aren’t going to want to miss this series. I loved Fairest of Heart. I loved If the Boot Fits even more. And now I’m on Cloaked in Scarlet and I can’t decide if I love that one even more! Basically…you’re in for a reader’s dream-come-true with this entire series. <3  Scroll down to enter the giveaway. But first, here’s a little more about book one.

Fairest of Heart by Karen Witemeyer

Beauty has been nothing but a curse to Penelope Snow. When she becomes a personal maid for a famous actress whose troupe is leaving Chicago to tour the West, she hides her figure beneath shapeless dresses and keeps her head down. But she still manages to attract the wrong attention, leaving her prospects in tatters—and her jealous mistress plotting her demise.

After his brother lost his life over a woman, Texas ranger Titus Kingsley has learned to expect the worst from women and is rarely disappointed. So when a young woman found in suspicious circumstances takes up residence with the seven old drovers living at his grandfather’s ranch, Titus is determined to keep a close eye on her.

With a promotion hanging in the balance, Titus is assigned to investigate a robbery case tied to Penelope’s acting troupe. The evidence points to her guilt, but Titus’s heart divines a different truth—one that might just get Penelope killed.

An enchanting Western take on the classic Snow White fairy tale, Fairest of Heart will sweep you away from once upon a time to happily ever after.
