Hello, I'm ducking in from deadline crunch to let everyone know that NEXT DOOR DADDY is indeed on shelves now! It just came to my attention that on my actual web page it is listed as a Feb release when it is actually a JANUARY release--goodness, all this time and I didn't catch that mistake. Thanks Sherrie for the heads up. I hope that hasn't messed too many of you up and you can catch it on shelves now. There is a lovely review of it over on cataromance.com if you want to read it. Okay, I've got to get back to finishing up a proposal for one of the my next books.
Also, just got the word that AND BABY MAKES FIVE won the Barclay Gold contest and NO PLACE LIKE HOME took 3rd in the same contest. I'd thought all the contest for 07 were over so it was a very nice end of the year surprise. Thank anyone and everyone who voted for them!

About Me
- Debra Clopton
- I write fun, sometimes wacky romace for the Love Inspired line from Steeple Hill books. My first book came out in September of 2005 and I've been working furiously ever since. So far all of my books are set in my fictional town of Mule Hollow Texas. It was a place I created where I hoped people would be able to read about the lives of my characters and come away with a big smile. Thanks to a huge amount of readers falling in love with my wacky little town Mule Hollow has become a favorite place for readers to visit time and again. I'm proud to say that I have readers from ages 11 to 101! I've begun to get so much email and letters that I'm ashamed to say I'm horribly behind on returning them...but I'll get there. I'm hoping this blog helps me connect better with you and I look forward to comments from you. Thanks for stopping in and I hope you tell a friend and sign up for my quarterly emails--you might win a prize for doing so! As always, live, laugh and seek God with all your heart, Debra

Hi,
Just finished reading "and baby makes five"...very cute! My husband grew up in Ranger, Texas. My search to see if Mule Hollow was a real town in that area has brought me to your blog. As I have just found out, Mule Hollow is fictional. Any particular reason you used Ranger? Are you from that area. Just curious.
I came away from your book with a renewed commitment to put my life in the Lords hands. Thank you.
Hi Becky! Thanks for stopping by. Okay, this is insider information. LOL When I started the Mule Hollow series I knew I needed a remote place for the town to be located. So I actually had planned for the town to be further west. HOWEVER! I made a new author mistake and just chose the name Ranger because it sounded like a cool name for a town in a book about cowboys--I didn't google it! After THE TROUBLE WITH LACY BROWN came out (the first book in the Mule Hollow series) I had the brainstorm that maybe I should have googled it....well what do you know there was a real Ranger Texas! Lesson learned for then newbie author: always check everything. But--God is so cool because as it turned out the area works for the most part and actually the real Rangers background was exactly the background that I'd unknowingly given Mule Hollow, so I was at least in the right area! That is just one of those awesome God things. (For those who don't know, the real Ranger was a huge oil town and then the boom busted and everyone left, leaving the town to struggle to survive--I believe I have that right :)But that is exactly what happened to my little town. So there you have it, Becky--the rest of the story!!!
