Foreward
Creating a fictional town is one of the joys of being an author and the fun is magnified when the creative process involves a team of highly imaginative and talented writers. When Jane Porter, Megan Crane, Lilian Darcy and I sat around the kitchen table at my cottage on Flathead Lake, Montana, in May of 2013 our goal was to invent a locale for the connected rodeo stories we planned to write.
We drew maps, we hammered out details, and we researched real Montana towns and history to make our town feel as authentic as possible. Important town landmarks were fabricated: local bar Grey’s Saloon, Sage Carrigan’s Copper Mountain Chocolates, the historic Graff Hotel and the tragedy-steeped River Bend Park.
Once we had our town of Marietta, Montana, we started writing about the people who live and love there, books that Tule Publishing branded Montana Born. I don’t think any of us could have guessed back then how our readers would grow to love our town, how they would clamor for more stories, how they would wish they could visit or even move to Marietta themselves.
Over time more and more talented authors have written stories set in Marietta. The town as grown, and with each new story family trees are expanded and entwined. This book is a guide, for new readers and old, to enrich their Montana Born reading experience. On behalf of myself and the other founding authors of Marietta—Jane, Megan and Lilian—and the publishing team at Tule, I hope you enjoy your visit here.
