662. What’s Deeanne Gist Been Up To? With Dakota Lacoy

What happens when a bestselling and award winning author of historical inspirational romances decides, after a break of a few years, to write spicy contemporary?

If you’re Deeanne Gist, you start over from scratch as Dakota Lacoy.

Amanda and I were just asking recently what had happened to Deeanne Gist, who wrote some SBTB favorites like Tiffany Girl and Fair Play. Well, as Dakota Lacoy, she’s been busy setting up a series of hot contemporary romantic comedies set in Honky Tonk, Texas, a small town with a sordid history and the greatest pun-filled business names.

So my guest today is both Deeanne Gist and Dakota Lacoy, and we’re going to talk about everything – from writing historical inspirationals to figuring out how to introduce her old readers to her new name.

You can find Dakota Lacoy at her website, where you can buy all her books and sign up for her newsletter.

Dakota is also on Instagram, too.

The illustrator for Dakota Lacoy’s website is Axana Zasorina, who is on Instagram.
