About Peggy Moreland
Peggy Morse
Peggy Bozeman was born in Texas, U.S.A.. As a young girl, she always wanted to live in the country, where she could have a horse and experience the life of a cowgirl. Unfortunately, she lived in town and she had to settle for visits to her grandparents' farm. When she was in High School, her father passed away, leaving her mother to raise three daughters alone. Her mother worked hard to see that we never lacked for anything. Peggy says: "She also encouraged all three of her daughters to obtain college degrees, stressing the importance of an education, as well as insisting that we be prepared to support ourselves in the event we were ever left on our own, as she was."
A graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas, with a BBA, Peggy worked on her master's degree in writing at the University of Central Oklahoma. Before penning her first romance, she co-wrote the story of the Edmond, Oklahoma, Post Office massacre for Norman Vincent Peale's Guideposts magazine. This foray into nonfiction was exciting but proved to her that her heart belonged in romantic fiction, where there is always a happy ending.
A blind date while in college served as the beginning of a romance that has lasted 25 years for Peggy Moreland though Peggy will be quick to tell you that she was the only blind one on the date, since her future husband, an Texan green beret, sneaked into the office building where she worked and checked her out prior to asking her out! For a woman who lived in the same house and the same town for the first 23 years of her life, Peggy has done a lot of hopping around since that blind date and subsequent marriage. Her husband's promotions and transfers have required 11 moves over the years, but those "extended vacations" as Peggy likes to refer to them, have provided her with a wealth of ideas and settings for the stories she writes for Silhouette.
Though she's written for Silhouette since 1989, Peggy actually began her writing career in 1987 with the publication of a ghostwritten story for Norman Vincent Peale's inspirational Guideposts magazine. While exciting, that foray into nonfiction proved to her that her heart belongs in romantic fiction where there is always a happy ending. Since her first romance, Peggy continues to delight readers with stories set in her home state of Texas. She enjoys writing books set in small towns and on ranches, and works diligently to create characters unique, but true, to those settings. In 1997 she published her first miniseries, Trouble in Texas, and in 1998 introduced her second miniseries, Texas Brides. In October 1999, Peggy joined Silhouette authors Dixie Browning, Caroline Cross, Metsy Hingle, and Cindy Gerard in a continuity series entitled The Texas Cattleman's Club. Peggy's contribution to the series was Billionaire Bridegroom. This was followed by her third series, Texas Grooms, in the summer of 2000. A second invitation to contribute to a continuity series resulted in Groom of Fortune, in December 2000. Winner of the National Readers' Choice Award, a nominee for Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award, and a two-time finalist for the prestigious RITA(R) Award, Peggy has had her books appear frequently on the USA TODAY and Waldenbooks bestseller lists.
Peggy Morse and her husband currently live on a ranch in the Texas Hill Country, they have three children�all grown-up now and living on their own. She is the proud owner of a registered quarter horse. When not writing, Peggy enjoys spending time at the farm riding her quarter horse, Lo-Jump, and competing in local barrel-racing competitions. In 1997 she fulfilled a lifelong dream by competing in her first rodeo and brought home two silver championship buckles, one for Champion Barrel Racer, and a second for All-Around Cowgirl. Also, you can usually find Peggy outside tending the cattle, goats and other critters on their ranch.
