Historical Romance Author Paty Jager

Recently I had the delight of meeting a couple regional writers, Carmen Peone (far left) and Paty Jager (center)  at a booksigning for And Books Too! in Clarkston, Washington, the weekend of the Lewiston, Idaho rodeo. Paty mentioned in her blog about how we also made our own mini writer's conference as the three of us discussed everything from promoting to how we came up with our ideas.

"The bookstore wasn't our only stop," writes Paty. "We were also invited to the Hells Gate Park for a dinner sponsored by the "Sisters on the Fly" a group of fun loving women who travel in packs with vintage travel trailers. At the dinner we all gave our spiel about our books and sold copies. After the meal, we were entertained by a husband and wife duo (Beargrass) who knew just about every western and bluegrass song a person could name."

Later in the week I'll feature Carmen's debut novels.

Here's some blurbs about some of Paty Jeger's books ...

Paty Jager

About Paty Jager:

Growing up in the Northeast corner of Oregon, riding horses and reading were her favorite pastimes. Many hours were spent roaming the Wallowa Mountains on her horse Junebug and making up stories in her  head. She read anything she could get her hands on from the school and local library.

"Many of my school lunch hours I could be found reading the thickest books I borrowed from the library. Usually Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney."

Her love of books and positive feedback from instructors gave her the incentive to try her hand at writing. She dabbled with children's books and was told she wrote too adult. Then wrote murder mysteries when a personal experience had her facing anger issues.

"I enjoyed the red herrings involved in writing mysteries."           

While honing her writing skills she and her husband raised four children.

"We are now empty nesters and loving it! Instead of grumbling kids, we now cater to two dogs, two horses, a mini horse, a donkey, and thirty mother cows and currently ranch 350 acres."
