Thanks for asking this question Patricia... I'd have to say that some of John Sandford's books really cover their rural area well, as do Stephen Hunter's books with the Swagger family. Louis l'Amour…Continue

I'm so glad to see this group here. I love country life and also write about it in my books. I am an author for Zondervan and have a series of books called Seasons of the Tallgrass, which are contemporary romance stories about a ranching community in the Flint Hills of Kansas. If you'd care to learn more, please visit my profile or my web site: http://www.deborahvogts.com.
Great to be here!

We are Deborah! Yes I share those same peeves. One thing that gets me is that so many people don't understand that ALL FOOD is farmed! No one is living on wild plants and animals as a sole source of food, and no one is living on petroleum by products or rocks! LOL...they think the grocery store just magically has food, no idea that it comes from somewhere!

We're practically neighbours! One of my pet peeves is how farmers and farm animals are portrayed in television commercials. Old MacDonald is not the norm anymore and why would a cow say it tastes better with steak sauce. We give farm tours to educate people about how milk is produced. It's surprising how many people don't know that milk comes from a female cow and that 2 per cent milk is 98 per cent fat free.

Deborah - it is great to see you here and even better to hear you include farming when you can! That we need more of! And real farming, not idealized stuff that really never would work...where is your farm?

Hi - I'm a dairy farmer who enjoys writing chick lit. My heroine is a dairy farmer, of course. Though my writing doesn't focus entirely on farming, I like to put in a few scenes where the reader can learn what really happens on a farm.
