Your book hit me emotionally on multiple fronts.

There's a lot of prep work that goes into a good book - a qualitative story isn't just a one dimensional offering of characters and plot. By providing the full array of descriptions she places those characters in the types of settings to create a synergistic enjoyment. No wonder she's an award winning author.Keith Steinbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14685274535024294110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-45811051204072741582019-07-10T14:44:41.719-05:002019-07-10T14:44:41.719-05:00Kathleen,

When I read "A Two Horse Town," I thought of Corsicana, as well, so Kathleen and I were channeling hot, dusty, Texas towns on the same wave length. I enjoyed everything about this Kate Carraway novel--the title, the setting, the characterizations, and the mystery. I'm looking forward to more from this polished author!Saralynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17484871081463184438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-23344444071275023092019-07-10T12:39:08.943-05:002019-07-10T12:39:08.943-05:00I've read A Two Horse Town and it's one of...I've read A Two Horse Town and it's one of my favorites. I loved the characters and especially the opera dogs! Its interesting to see where other writers get their inspiration. You don't always have to go to the actual destination, but it's probably good if you have. I'll have to put it on my place to see now. I look forward to the next in this series. -Minette LaurenZari Reedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10641229570979523690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-37552648714503337672019-07-10T11:50:08.640-05:002019-07-10T11:50:08.640-05:00We're always delighted to have you as a guest,...We're always delighted to have you as a guest, Kathleen.ANASTASIA POLLACKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160162455676799133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-32792027180077354302019-07-10T11:31:45.056-05:002019-07-10T11:31:45.056-05:00Hi Lois,

I'm happy I had the opportunity to reflect back on Archer City, Texas, the town I used as an inspiration for Two Horse, Montana, the setting of A Two Horse Town. I am eager to read what others have to say about settings, horses, dusty little towns, and of course, mysteries.Kathleen Kaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16500241341014235792noreply@blogger.com
