Reviews for Trail of Love
Diana at Night Owl Romance says:
"Ms. McBride outdid herself with this story. I immediately felt drawn to Kerrie because of everything she had gone through over the years. I felt bad for her that she had such lack of self-esteem for herself. I also fell in love with Dace because he was the perfect knight in shining armor for Kerrie. He was everything that she had hoped to find in a man and so much more. Ms. McBride wrote this story from the heart and she even had me laughing at loud during some of the scenes. Pick up a copy of this story. I assure you that you won’t be disappointed. You did a fantastic job, Bess!"

About Bess McBride
Bess McBride made her first serious writing attempt when she was 14. She shut herself up in her bedroom one summer while obsessively working on a time travel/pirate novel set in the beloved Caribbean of her youth, but she wasn’t able to hammer it out on a manual typewriter (oh yeah, she’s that old) before it was time to go back to school. The draft of that novel has long since disappeared, but the story is still simmering within her, and she will get it written one day soon.
Bess was born in Aruba to American parents and lived in Venezuela until her family returned to the United States when she was 12. She couldn’t fight the global travel bug within her and joined the U.S. Air Force at 18 to “see the world.” After 21 wonderful and fulfilling years traveling the world and gaining one beautiful daughter, she pursued her dream of finally getting a college education. Armed and overeducated, the gypsy in her has taken over once again, and she is now embarking on a full-time life in a recreational vehicle as she continues to look for new adventures and place settings for her writing.

An Interview with Bess McBride
By Holly Hewson for The Romance Studio
HH: Bess, thank you for talking with us at TRS. Please tell us about your featured work, A Trail of Love. BM: Thanks for having me, Holly! I love interviewing with The Romance Studio. A Trail of Love is one of my favorite books, a contemporary romance set in the magnificent scenery of Glacier National Park in Montana. Kerry, a woman running from a painful past, hides in plain sight as an employee of the National Park Service where she meets, Dace, a handsome bear ranger who is absolutely beguiling but completely ineligible. She cannot help falling in love with the ranger who rescues her time and again from her own foolish behaviors, but she knows she cannot have him because he is taken by a tall, beautiful blonde.
HH: Your heroine has been forced to leave all she loves and longs for that one man to instantly love her. She finds him, he protects her, but he's taken. Where did the idea for this intriguing story come from? BM: Well, I worked at Glacier National Park in the summers of 2007 and 2008, and I knew I had to have a story set in the park. It seemed only fitting that my gal fall in love with a handsome bear ranger...of which there are plenty, mind you!
HH: How did Kerrie's character develop for you? BM: She developed as a gal who had fallen for the wrong guy many years ago but who lacked the courage to leave him. It took her several years to muster up the courage to leave, but when she did, she felt a certain power in the knowledge that she didn’t have to take what he was dishing out ever again.
HH: What's it like for you to place a character in peril? Do you plan it all out meticulously or do you wing it and see where it goes? BM: It was nervewracking to put my heroine in peril. I didn’t like it and couldn’t wait for the rescue. I do wait and see where the story goes. I have a vague idea of what I want to happen, but the characters dictate where the story will go.
HH: What do you like best about Dace? BM: That he’s tall, handsome, a bear ranger, and a genuinely nice guy. I think nice guys are the most attractive men!
HH: What else do you have coming soon for lucky readers? BM: A Train Through Time, my first time travel, and quite one of my favorite books to write, will be released one week after A Trail of Love on August 22, 2008. It’s a love story about a gal who falls asleep on a train bound for a boring conference in Seattle only to wake up and discover she has somehow either ended up in a late Victorian reenactment or something has gone terribly wrong...that is, until she meets the handsome Victorian man who is utterly fascinated by the concept of time travel.
HH: When and where do you write? BM: I write late at night after my significant other has gone to bed. I take the late shift on my summer seasonal job so that I can write at night and get some promoting done in the morning. I write at the dining table in my recreational vehicle where we live full time as we travel with the seasons.
HH: Are you more of a deadline driven writer or do you write it and then start submitting? BM: I write the books and then submit them. I can’t imagine actually having a deadline. I’d be a wreck!
HH: How do you set the mood for your writing time? BM: I write by a schedule, so the mood sort of has to come when I tell it to. I do re-read a few paragraphs to get back “in character” once again.
HH: What's your favorite way to network with readers? BM: By e-mail. I’m on the shy side though most people who know me believe that I’m outgoing. So, I love to hear from readers and chat with them by e-mail. I get tongue tied face to face!
HH: Thank you!
