Fun Facts with Friends

Hello Readers,

Erica Penrod, the author of HER BRILLIANT COWBOY BILLIONAIRE, is one of my bestest friends. 🙂 We sit together at rodeos and cheer on each other’s kids and talk writing. Well, we finally had a chance to go on a trip that didn’t include hauling a horse trailer when we went to Seattle to research for the Billionaire Bachelor Cove series.

This is Erica in front of a sculpture located near the Space Needle. 🙂 We had So. Much. Fun.

So, I sat down with Erica and asked her a dozen questions. I’m not going to put them all here, but I wanted to share with you some of the fun answers she had. I’m always smiling when I’m with this lady!

Q. If I were to meet you on the street, what would you say to introduce yourself?

A. A few of my favorite things are movie theaters, riding horses with my family, and vacuum tracks. I enjoy lunch with friends, a weekend of binge watching a tv series, and wearing fuzzy socks. And if you can’t find me in the grocery store, I’m usually on the cleaning aisle inhaling the lemon fresh scent.

Ha! I can testify to that last part. Erica’s house is ALWAYS put together. I have no idea how she does it!! She is an inspiration to me. 

Q. What was your favorite part of the Seattle trip?

A. My favorite part of the Seattle trip was trying to maneuver the skinny streets of Seattle in a minivan. Six other authors, most of whom I hadn’t met before all buckled up in one car was a blast. I enjoyed seeing the Space Needle in person, and other landmarks I’d only seen on screen or in pictures. Another thing I found interesting about Seattle was how many people had dogs with them wherever we went.

Ohmygosh! What she didn’t say was that I was the driver. LOL We live in an area that doesn’t even have sidewalks. No joke. And cowboys and cowgirls are frequently seen riding horses down the road. And I drive an SUV or a HUGE truck. So…. minivans and narrow roads are not my thing. BUT, when we were on a steep road and had to stop, and Amberlee Day (a native of Washington) said, “You’re going to have to release the break at the same time you push on the gas to get us up this without rolling backwards into that car.” I was all over it! We did have a great time and I had some awesome navigators. 

Q. Why did you love Seattle?

A. I loved Seattle because it was beautiful and diverse, the perfect inspiration for a love story.

I hope you’ve enjoyed getting to know Erica a little. 🙂 I know my life has been made better with her in it.

Happy reading,
