About the Author

Back Cover

This one is to my Uncle Coy’s girls, Jeanette, Susan, Gwen, and Judy. We always looked forward to y’all coming from California to Oklahoma in the summertime to visit us.

Dear Readers,

I hope you enjoy this new version of the original Darn Good Cowboy Christmas. When I heard the new title, Just in Time for Christmas, I fell in love with it. It fits the story line so well—all of Liz’s lifelong wishes come true just in time for Christmas.

I’ve been asked several times about Colleen and Blaze since they didn’t get a full book written about them. They are still doing well, and Colleen loves the carnival life. They have three children now. She and Blaze work hard at homeschooling the children and making their home as normal as life can be when they’re on the road most months of the year.

I’d like to thank Deb Werksman, my editor at Sourcebooks, for giving me free rein to rewrite this book. The story is the same, but I tried to delve more into the friendship and the angst at having so many changes come into Liz’s life. Even through it all, she knew what she wanted, and she got it just in time for Christmas—like the new title says.
