One of these days, a story for Dodge McCade.....Loving Brett.

When I first began the planning of the four McCade brothers I was excited about the world I had built for these swoon worthy men of 1880s Cheyenne. And as I keep saying what was suppose to be romance has ended up as what I call family saga with romance and suspense and cowboys and...yeah...all of it in one series. What I never expected to be the hit of this series was the meddling mother....Dodge. Trust me she isn't sitting in a rocker knitting.

She really doesn't require a last name for it to be known she rules the roost. The matriarch of the McCades is one strong willed family oriented entrepreneur. She owns part of the mercantile helping run it and keeping the tabs on expenses. She also has had an ongoing affair with Brett...which leads me to tell you all I have had no less than 150 requests for her backstory, her present story and her romantic involvement with Brett Morgan. Some of you are even telling me the older couple romances are nice...and so yep I have planning going on. That was so surprising to me that people loved her as much as her sons though. When I created her character I wanted a real spit fire woman full of the fight that living west gave her. She loves her sons and her family and I have found it fun planning some of the crazy she pulls in each story...the Dodge way. She tells Rose in Sawyer's Rose that the grandfather who raised her nicknamed her Dodge because she was always finding ways to 'dodge' chores. But I wanted a strong name everyone in town and in her family could call Eleanor McCade...and as I was browsing ideas this one kept coming back to me as strange as it might seem. Dodge is one of a kind but her love of Brett is one that somehow doesn't have to be explained. He loves her no matter her avoiding marriage with him. He realizes what is at stake is she give in and so one day we will all find out. It may be a while before this one happens but I know it will be one no one can put down. Dodge is too far interesting and fun for that to happen.

And of course as I tell each of the McCades of Cheyenne novesl, all your favorite characters will return and you'll how much the families have grown. My heart has become the McCades of Cheyenne and a story for Dodge will be amazing if I can pull off what I have planned.
