Friday Roundup with Renee Johnson

Before we let you head off, just a couple more questions...

Do you have any hobbies that you’d care to chat about? Skydiving? Baking? Traveling? Whatever interests you—we’d love to hear about it!

Traveling is my biggest and most significant hobby, but I cannot engage with it often. Hopefully, after retirement, I can pursue it more regularly. The past year has been especially difficult with the pandemic restrictions. However, my granddaughter, born in the January before the March lockdowns, fills the gaps. She is such a delight, and I enjoy every moment with her. I also enjoy hiking with my dogs, brushing the horses, photography, and baking. 

What drew you to write for Wylder?

The minute I heard about the Wylder series, I petitioned for the postmistress character. My great-grandfather delivered mail on horseback, later became the postmaster of a small post office in North Carolina, and I fell into a job with the USPS after my son was born. My husband and I also have horses and travel to the Western states whenever we can, so it was easy to imagine the main characters and how they lived and struggled with their circumstances.   

Are you working on anything new? Do you have plans for a next story that you’d care to share?

I always have a new story in the works. Wherever I travel, I find inspiration from the environment and the culture. I love writing international intrigue, so expect something soon in the vein of Behind the Mask. Also be sure to check out my other books in addition to the above-mentioned ones: The Haunting of William Gray, Herald Angels, and Acquisition, all published by The Wild Rose Press and available at Amazon, Walmart, and wherever you buy books.

It's been great having you here on The Wylder West blog this week, Renee. Thank you for joining us!   

Look for Renee on her blog, Facebook page,  or Instagram!

  Western Music by Laura Strickland   When I’m writing, I’m usually also listening to music. It serves as a magical elixir for me, one that transports me to the time and I place I’m creating on the page.   Music summons a mood, with which I then strive to infuse my writing. It’s no different when I’m penning my Wylder West stories. For my first book, A Walk on the Wylder Side, I dug deep into some of the music to which I listened years ago, from artists such as Neil Young, The Eagles, and The Farm Dogs, to mention but a few. But what is true Western music? It’s not really the Country/Folk songs of the Seventies, love them as I do. Turns out, like the West itself, it has a nature all its own. Just like our town of Wylder, Western music is a combination of what the people who settled the West brought with them: Latin, Celtic, Anglo, African, and everything in between. All this was influenced by the way of life these settlers founded out West, which wasn’t easy. Co...

The Music of Dance to a Wylder Beat by Marilyn Barr

       To manage my sensory processing disorder, I have a few tricks to quiet my distracting senses while I write. One is to light a scented candle which corresponds to the character narrating the scene I am writing. Nartan Sagebrush’s candle scent is “Tobacco” while Olive Muegge’s scent is “Orange Clove”. Another trick is to play the couple’s song on repeat while writing. It drowns out the birds outside my kitchen window and helps my mind focus on the core issues of the story. The core issue of Dance to a Wylder Beat is the need for community. Nartan’s secret Shamanic dancing and Olive’s paranormal secret keep them on the outskirts of Wylder society.                     Listen to this haunting song here - https://youtu.be/k750IIdKq08                 In the late 1870s, the Arapaho nation’s way of life was being destroyed by the Us Go...

    Welcome to Wylder!   When I first heard about The Wild Rose Press’s new series, Wylder West, I felt excited. There’s nothing like a submission call to get an author all worked up. And the idea of having a part in creating a fictional town set in the late 1880s Wyoming Territory really sparked my imagination. I had no idea, then, what Wylder, Wyoming might become. What happens when you gather a group of authors who love to write and let them lose in a fictional town? I’ll tell you what: storylines begin to burgeon. Characters of every description take shape. Heroes face off against villains, heroines pull at your heartstrings. Trials and tribulations clamor for attention. But that’s not all. Businesses come into being. A saloon here, a rooming house there, a gunsmith’s, a mercantile, a whorehouse… Streets take on names, ranches spread out on every side through the country all around. And pretty soon you know who lives and works where. It’s as if you’re walk...
