Interview with Jenna Brandt and #giveaway!!

Today we welcome Jenna Brandt to my blog. Jenna, I love your name. I have a daughter named Jenna.  Jenna is very graciously giving away one ebook copy of Lawfully Wanted to one person who comments. Please include contact information and answer the question in red. 

I'm glad to have you stop by. Tell us about Lawfully Wanted – a brief blurb:

Levi Emerson and his partner, Clyde Forester, have been undercover for over a year chasing the ring leader of the largest cattle rustling group. After months of pursuit, they are closing in on their target, and looking forward to bagging their bounty. A paid informant has told them the rustler's next target will be the Larsen Ranch in Rockwood Springs, Texas. When Levi arrives at the ranch, he poses as a cowboy in order to gain employment at the ranch and catch the cattle thief.

Abigail Larsen is the daughter of one of the largest cattle barons in all of Taylor, County Texas. She has just returned home from finishing school, with what is considered by society, dangerous ideas that she gained from secret women's suffrage meetings. Her father has plans for her to marry Andy Wilson, a local rancher and recent widower, in an attempt to expand the family's influence in the region. Though she wants to do her father's biding, the rumors of how Andy mistreated his first wife leaves Abigail worried about her future, especially knowing he isn't the type of man that would find her new mindset appealing. 

When Levi and Abigail accidently encounter each other, the connection is instant, but they both know a relationship between them can never be due to their circumstances. Yet, as the couple continue to spend time together through various circumstances, the connection only deepens. 

Will Levi catch his wanted thief and collect his bounty? Will he tell Abigail the truth about who he is? And will Abigail choose to go against her father in order to be with the man she wants? Find out if these two star-crossed lovers can find a way to be together in this epic 1880s historical romance.

Is there one particular message or “moral of the story” you hope readers walk away with?

I hope readers will learn that earthly possessions aren’t as important as a relationship with God.

What is your favorite type of Hero?

Tell us about the giveaway you’re offering. 

I am giving away an ebook copy of Lawfully Loved, the book set in the same town with characters that appear in Lawfully Wanted.

How did Lawfully Wanted get started?

It’s part of the multi-author series, The Lawkeepers. I came up with the idea for the series based off my husband who is a retired police officer. With the help of my fellow author, Lorana Hoopes, we fleshed out the idea, created the branding and launched it. We now have 8 authors writing in the series. We have a line of contemporary and historical standalone books with mini-themes such as K-9, bounty hunters, Texas Sheriffs, and many more planned.

Tell us about your research process.

My husband is the best help for my contemporary lawkeeper books. For historical, I search a lot of internet data bases for info.

What impact did your research have on you personally?

I learn a lot about history that I never knew. For example, it’s interesting to find out they had portable bathhouses that they took to the ocean so people could change.

How do you see yourself in your character’s story, if at all?

I’m very independent like my female heroine but I also like to please my parents.

While you were writing Lawfully Wanted, do you think it mattered where the book was set?

Yes, I wanted it to be in the same town as my first historical book in the series-Rockwood Sprigs (a fictional small-town).
