Lyn Asks the June Question

booksbylyncote.com Posted on by

Well, what’s the June question? 

I’m thinking back to when Westerns were popular on TV and in movies. Not so much in the recent past. Trends go in and out. Anyway, do you have any favorite Western stories either on TV, movies or books? 

I loved to read the late Louis L’Amour. His grandfather lived in the end of the old West and many authors use his books as research for how people in the West lived. Interesting. Anyway my favorite story of his is Conagher, a rather strange title, right? Conagher is a hero and this is a real life slice of the Old West and a heartfelt romance. I’ve read it many times and it was made into a TV movie. So do you have a favorite book or movie or TV series that takes place in the West? Please share here.

Loving Against All Odds

 Book 1 of my “Lone Star Courage” series, Loving Against All Odds is available now for pre-order for $1.99 till release on June 18th!
