Hello, you lovely people. Brandi Creek here.
When I finished writing The Cowboy I Left Behind,
the first book in The Cowboys of Majestic Run series, I thought I
was simply introducing readers to Majestic Run Bloodstock.
But somewhere along the way, the farm became more than a
setting.
The training barns, the breeding program, the horses, and
the people carrying old history through those pastures all started to feel
alive in a way I couldn't quite walk away from. The more time I spent at
Majestic Run, the more I realized there were still stories left to tell.
This series allowed me to explore a world that combines two
things I've always loved: cowboys and horses. Some of it came from research
into breeding programs, bloodlines, and the quiet pressure that exists behind
every promising racehorse. Other parts came from my own love of horse racing
and the wonder of watching foals find their legs for the very first time.
There's something special about a place where legacy, new beginnings, and big
dreams all exist side by side.
That love of horses started long before I became a writer.
When I was in high school, my parents managed a ranch in Washington. We spent
our days leading trail rides through the forest, riding horses along the beach,
and gathering around bonfires at night while campers shared stories beneath the
stars. It remains one of my favorite times in life.
One of my strongest memories is walking out into the pasture
each morning with a bundle of lead ropes slung over my shoulder. I'd clip
halters onto twenty horses, climb onto one bareback, and ride back to the barn
while the others followed behind me. At the end of the day, we'd do it all
again in reverse. Looking back, I realize those experiences shaped so much of
the way I write ranches, horses, and the people who dedicate their lives to
them.
The characters who call Majestic Run home lived in my head
for months. They made mistakes, carried old wounds, fought for second chances,
and refused to take the easy path. Watching their stories unfold across these
rolling Kentucky pastures became one of my favorite writing experiences.
If you'd like to spend more time in these worlds, I'd love
to invite you to visit two of my favorite ranches.
The Cowboys of Majestic Run is a complete duet set in
the world of Kentucky horse breeding, where wounded cowboys, second chances,
family legacy, and healing hearts collide.
Men of Mountain Tide Ranch Retreat is a five-book
western romance collection spanning more than 2,700 pages. Inspired in part by
those years spent on the ranch in Washington, the series is filled with damaged
cowboys, resilient heroines, healing after heartbreak, family bonds, friendship,
and happily-ever-afters set against breathtaking mountain views.
More than anything, I hope you'll saddle up, spend some time
at Majestic Run Bloodstock and Mountain Tide Ranch Retreat, and fall in love
with these ranches, horses, and characters the same way I did while writing
them.
Happy Reading,
Brandi Creek

Best of luck with the series, Brandi. And I'm soooo jealous of your childhood!!! I have loved horses since I was a young girl, too, but I'm a small city girl. I didn't come close to horses until my father worked with a man who had horses and we'd visit every now and then. Thank you for sharing your sweet childhood with us.
