119: Mary Connealy

It's always such fun to chat with my friend Mary Connealy. She's at 75 books, y'all. 75! Our careers have run on parallel tracks, so I am truly in awe of the way she writes so many books that are all so unique with strong heroines, and cowboys. The secrets to her success? One thousand words a day and research is one of her favorite things to do. The core research for her latest novel Chasing the Horizon came from a book called The Woman Who Wouldn't be Silenced. I found that fascinating because I had seen this book several times and picked it up, but hadn't read it yet. Let me tell you, I cannot wait to read it now. But that book served as the string board for a series of what-ifs that became Chasing the Horizon. Mary's advice to new writers? Be consistent and write a bit each day. Her passion for this story and all of her books comes out loud and clear as we chat in this latest installment of Book Talk with Cara.
