More to Love About Spring and Texas


My azaleas were riddled by a recent hail storm, but in this part of Texas beautiful wildflowers line every highway, even the small country roads that I love to travel. Every year my husband and I take off to wander the back roads and let the beauty of spring seep into our souls. My camera failed to work this year, but thanks to a friend, I have this marvelous picture of cattle grazing peacefully behind a field of brilliant bluebonnets, the state flower of the Long Star State. And what's a Texas drive without a few Longhorns?
But now it's back to writing for me. But not only do I have the inspiration of spring in Texas, but the marvelous rescue of the brave ship captain last night by the daring and skilled Navy SEALs. My current series, Special Ops, Texas, is all about former Special Ops guys who bring their talents, training and unbelievable bravery to play to save the woman they love. Thanks for all the wonderful emails I've received about COWBOY COMMANDO. If you don't have your copy yet, you can still buy it online frome eharlequin.com, amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com or order it direct from my website at www.joannawayne.com. You can also read an excerpt there.
HAPPY SPRING! And if you're looking for a place to visit, come to Texas! The wildflowers are in full bloom!

  1. Love the pictures. We are kind of sparse on wildflowers around my part of Texas as we've had almost no rain..green grass is also scarce.

  3. Glad you enjoyed the pictures. We've had a lot of rain of late, so the flowers have really come out.
