Shades of black randomly
interspersed with hues of tan and gray surrounded me as I gazed over a sea of
cowboy hats at the Las Vegas airport.
After working our way through the
crowd, my husband, Captain Cavedweller, and I settled at our gate to wait for
our flight. While he read the newspaper and jiggled his boot-covered foot
impatiently, I observed those milling around. Like us, hundreds of cowboys
prepared to depart after attending the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo and many
of the accompanying activities.
Each December, the city of Las
Vegas takes on a country vibe as the rodeo comes to town, bringing hundreds of
vendors, thousands of spectators, and a whole lot of fun.
As we sat at the airport that
morning, the idea for a story began churning in my head.
Since so many of the cowboys who
compete professionally spend a good deal of time traveling, I began to wonder
how many of them flew from one rodeo to the next. If they were flying, it made
sense that they might meet a girl at an airport who turned their head.
I began jotting down notes for a
story idea and by the time we reached home, The Christmas
Cowboy (Rodeo
Romance Series Book 1) was born.
While researching details for The Christmas
Cowboy, which involves a saddle bronc rider as the hero, I became
aware of a wonderful organization — the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund.
For those unfamiliar with the Justin Cowboy Crisis Fund, the organization
provides help to injured rodeo athletes. The men and women who are professional
rodeo athletes know it isn’t a matter of if they get hurt, but when. Many of
them are uninsured, so when an accident happens, it can be devastating
physically, emotionally, and financially.
That’s
when the JCCF steps in and offers a hand up to steps in offer financial
assistance to rodeo athletes who’ve sustained catastrophic injuries that leave
them unable to compete for an extended time. Rather than worry about how
they’ll pay their bills, they can focus on healing. One thing I especially
admire about the JCCF is that 100 percent of the donations go to the cowboys
who need it. They don’t take out administrative expenses or fees.
This is the sixth year for my Read a Book, Help A Cowboy campaign that raises funds and awareness for the JCCF. Now
through Christmas Eve, I will donate
ten percent of the proceeds from every book purchase to the JCCF.
A
wonderful addition to this year’s campaign is A Cowboy
Christmas. The book features 300 pages of western holiday fun
with more than 70 full-color recipes.
