I've been lassoed by Carolyn Brown so she can interview the twins from HOW TO MARRY A COWBOY, Book 4 in the Cowboys and Brides series, available now from Sourcebooks:
Annie Rose Boudreaux is in a downright hellish mess. She’s just a few steps ahead of the low-life ex who’s been hot on her heels, but she’s tired of running, and nannying Mason’s two sweet girls may be just what she needs. As her days on the ranch fly by, and the night’s with Mason get hotter, Annie Rose decides that she’s going to stay…for a lifetime.
Good morning! I’m here today with the twin girls, Lily and Gabby, from How to Marry a Cowboy. They have agreed to let me interview them if I’ll take them to my hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma where Miranda Lambert has a store called The Pink Pistol. They went there for their birthday but they’d like to visit it again. If they answer my questions, then we’re going back there because I noticed last week that Miranda has a whole new shipment of western things and the girls do love their country music. They’re getting impatient with me so let’s get on with it…
Carolyn: Lily, what did you think when you went outside that Sunday morning and found Annie Rose on the porch swing?
Lily: Well, she was wearing a bride dress (rolls her eyes at Gabby) and even though it looked like shit (slaps her hand over her mouth). I’m not supposed to cuss but she did look pretty ragged but we didn’t care, our daddy had brought us a mama.
Gabby: I won’t tell that you cussed this time but if you get me in trouble with it, then you are on your own. I heard Lily squealin’ like a pig stuck in a barbed wire fence and I went runnin’. I thought Annie Rose was sleepin’ beauty at first and I just knew if Daddy kissed her that she’d wake up and be our mama.
Carolyn: Okay, so then you talked your Daddy into letting Annie stay. And then she started making rules. Right, Gabby?
Gabby: We found out real quick that nannies and mamas are two different critters. Nannies get mad and leave. Mamas make rules and we have to stick to them.
Carolyn: Like what?
Lily: Like cleaning out the play pens when we let our new baby goats that Doc bought us for her birthday stay in the house. They were so cute but holy shit (another hand over her mouth) they cried all night long and then nanny/mama, that’s what we called Annie Rose, made us clean out the play pens.
Gabby: I was ready to barbecue them goats and have them for supper after that first night. It was all Lily’s idea to ask for them and I thought it would be fun, but them goats in our bedroom was enough to make me cuss.

Carolyn: Tell me about the How-To books.
Lily: Well, we had to do something. Nanny Mama couldn’t remember anything and we just knew if she’d remember that she’d tell us about the wedding. Daddy was a rascal for not taking us. So we made her a How To Remember book. And then when we was afraid she wouldn’t stick around because she didn’t know about ranches, we made her a How to be a Rancher.
Gabby: And then we had to help her out because we could see that she was afraid that she didn’t think she would make a mommy so we made her a How to be a Mommy book. They all worked real good.
Carolyn: And the How to Marry a Cowboy book?
Lily: (Giggling) You’ll have to ask Daddy about that one.
Okay folks, the girls and I will be around most of the day. Do you have any questions for us? We’d love to visit with you!
