Mary Connealy: The Sweetest Gift & 2 Giveaways

10/9/2011

 

This week we welcome Mary Connealy to Author Memories.

Picture
Mary Connealy writes romantic comedy with cowboys. She is a Carol Award winner, and a Rita and Christy finalist. Mary wrote 20 books over ten years before she got her first book published. She was a stay-at-home mom when she started but during those years her children grew up and she got a job. For the last 5 years, Mary has worked forty hours a week teaching GED.

The Sweetest Gift 
by Mary Connealy

The family legend I'd like to tell is about my mom's parents, Grandma and Grandpa Frew.

Theirs was a classic marriage of convenience.

My grandma grew up in Nebraska, not that far from my grandpa but they never met. She was the only child of a judge. She attended college when very few women did. She traveled in Europe and studied there, then went to Columbia University in New York City, and The University of Washington in Washington State to earn a master's degree. She was a spinster who lived with her parents, worked as a librarian and was a wonderfully talented pianist.

Picture
My grandma before she married, petting a rabbit.
My grandfather, who dropped out of school after the eighth grade to farm, married her college roommate, another Nebraska girl, but a girl who lived very near him. The only connection between my grandma and grandpa was that woman. When my grandfather's first wife was laboring with her second child something happened and they knew both the baby and mother wouldn't survive. Grandpa's dying wife called him to her bedside and told him she wanted her old college roommate to raise her child. She was dying and she wanted him to promise her, he'd marry her friend.
Picture
Grandma and Grandpa on the boat
Grandpa promised and began writing to the woman who would be his next wife. She agreed to marry him. I've always imagined that grandma, so accomplished, so well educated, with a decent job and all that talent, might well have considered herself a failure. In those days, around 1925, to be a spinster was very likely a disgrace.

And my grandpa, a prosperous farmer, might have been a great success.

When he proposed she said yes. He got on a train in Nebraska, rode out to Washington State, they got married and traveled home together, man and wife.

To look at them it seems a huge mismatch. But by all accounts their marriage was a congenial one. They had four children, the first one born fourteen months after the wedding. So whatever difficulties they found in marrying under such strange circumstances, their marriage was real in all ways, after all she was pregnant within five months.

Picture
My mom is the one with her arms spread wide.
My mom is the youngest child of four from that marriage. (Photo: Grandma and her 4 kids.)

I am trying right now to write a story, fictionalized, but with the same circumstances as my grandparents. One thing I remember so clearly about my grandparents house…my grandpa died when I was about five years old and I don't remember him…so it was just grandma in that old country farm home….was the grand piano.

There was a grand piano in my grandma's house. I've asked my mom and her sisters and no one remembers a time when it wasn't there. No one remembers talk of when it was purchased. It was huge. It seemed to fill the entire room it was in and nothing else was in that room but the piano.

I like to think that huge, beautiful instrument in that small house was my grandfather giving my grandmother a gift of pure love.

Out of Control - Kincaid Brides Book 1

Rafe Kincaid controls everything in his life... 
until he meets Julia.


Julia  Gilliland has always been interested in the natural world around her. She  particularly enjoys studying the fossils and formations in the magnificent cave  near her father's house. The cave seems plenty safe--until the day a mysterious  intruder steals the rope she uses to climb out.

Rafe Kincaid is a man used to being in control--of himself, his brothers, and  his family's ranch. The last thing he expects is to find a woman trapped in the  cavern on his land--or to be forced to kiss her!

Rafe is more intrigued by Julia than any woman he's ever known. But when their  developing relationship threatens a reconciliation with his brothers, will Rafe  have to choose between his family and this new love that could heal his  troubled heart and secure his happiness?

I can hardly wait for your book based on your grandparents. I love books from 'back then. Marriages of convenience are very interesting.

Until that one is written, I would like Mary's Contemporary Suspense, Ten Plagues.

Thank you for the opportunity to win one of Mary's books.

I'm with Linda. I can't wait for that book. Can I win it? ;) What a wonderful story.

I have a couple of story ideas based on my grandparents and my husband's grandparents.

Really I'd love to win either book. That will mean I only have to buy one of them in Tulsa.

I loved your story about your grandparents. That was when marriage vows meant just that, a vow before God. I also come from some pretty amazing grandparents. Such a blessing! Amen. Those are the kind of stories I love to read about. Thanks for the opportunity for some fun books, too.

Hey Mary!!! I would love to win "Ten PLagues"! I have read every other one of your books except for that one. My fav. books are "Petticoat Ranch" and "The Husband Tree". I've read them over and over and always end up laughing with tears in my eyes even though I know whats going to happen. You're an amazing author.

Mary Connealy link
10/9/2011 03:39:32 pm

Hi ladies. We haven't made definite plans on this book but right now we're considering epublishing, you know, straight to Kindle and Nook. It's a novella and I have it mostly written already, though I'm polishing the already written part as well as finishing it. But the stumbling block I keep having is, by all accounts, my grandparents had a solid, loving marriage. Right from the start. I mean that first baby after only 14 months of marriage is a good clue, right?
But that's not a story really, is it? A story needs something to fix, a conflict, tension. So, I made some up. It's fictionalized after all, right? And the whole time I'm fictionalizing this story, I hear my mother in my head saying, "That's not the way it happened."
It just feels like LYING. Right now I'm mainly using the basic set up, the strange events that resulted in their marriage, and I'm going wild from there.

I had a really long talk with my mom about this last night and she added some weird (not important) details about her parents' life.
She said they milked enough cows (all by hand of course) to sell butter and cream enough to buy all their groceries, so they would take the butter to talk weekly and trade it for the other food.
She said her father would take cans (big metal milk cans) full of CREAM to the TRAIN and they'd ship it to Minnesota. Does that sound weird to you? Why ship it to Minnesota? Weren't there people who wanted cream in Nebraska?
Did you know they already had refrigerated train cars by this time? I suppose just big rolling ice boxes, right? It couldnt' be anything else. But why send cream to Minnesota? He must've found a place that would buy it. And my grandpa, who died in about 1960 never farmed with a tractor. He farmed with horses until the day he died.
He loved his big work horses.
And mom says one of her memories of her dad was him sitting in the kitchen churning butter. They had a LOT of butter to make I guess and it seems like women's work(for back in those days), but apparently not.

AND (more interesting little things) my mom can remember when they got electricity. She remembers coming home from school and (they knew it was coming) the crew had been there to put electricity in their house.
She remembers that with an emotion that is awestruck. You can hear it when she talks about the amazing, stunning, almost miraculous ELECTRICITY.
And all they had was a lightbulb.
Are we spoiled or WHAT?????

What a wonderful story! I would love to read the fictionalized version when it comes out. It must be challenge, though, to fictionalize family history--I have tried it a little bit, and would like to do more, but I struggle with how to balance "what really happened" with adding what's needed to make a "good story." :) Anyway, I would love to win "Out of Control," should that happen. :) Thanks for a wonderful post!

Lois
10/10/2011 09:13:46 am

I think you could add some drama from Grandpa's original marriage. Plus, I know there was some tension surrounding his siblings. Also, you could fictionalize Grandma's journey to Europe and build on her feeling like a spinster and wondering if she'd ever find the right man. I think you could make a series out of it. Ending with your wonderful sisters :)

Pam Kellogg
10/10/2011 11:35:03 am

What a wonderful story of your grandparents, Mary. I like that you are using that idea for a book. I've read "Out of Control" and loved it.
I'd very much enjoy winning a copy of "Ten Plagues". Thanks for the chance!

LOIS!!!!!!!! Hi there. Lois is my sister. This is a NOVELLA girl. We're talking half the size of my shortest books, like Golden Days.

Yes, it might make a series, but that's not what's been contracted.

I told Mom about it and told her she was in my head saying "That's not how it happened."
Then I told her about the book, especially the part where I made Grandpa a cowboy and she says, "That's not how it happened."

Leslie? You know what my mom looks like? Who is this???

Mary Connealy link
10/12/2011 01:41:16 am

My mom always tells this story about when she was born. She was the fourth child in about eight years.
Her oldest sister, Louise, said they got to go to their cousins' house to play, which NEVER happened (Keep in mind Louise was eight--this is not a completely young child) and when she came home there was a new baby. She had no idea her mom was even expecting a baby, let alone that it was being born while she played with her cousins.

I wonder if the whole world wat that reserved back then. In historical books we talk about 'being in a family way' or 'being in an interesting condition' or 'being with child'.
We use the word pregnant for historicals but we also know women went into 'confinement' when they started to show. Often the only way the neighbors knew a woman was expecting was because she stopped showing up for church and it was assumed.

But I always thing that's sort of historically odd and probably not really true. Surely you could go out even if you were expecting. But maybe not. Maybe it was really immodest to show your round belly, no matter how modestly concealed.
sooooooo different than now.

This sounds so interesting. There has always been grand pianos in our family. My brother moved to an apartment in Toronto and they had to lift Gramma's baby grand up the side of the building to get it in. I love old stories of families in the west.

I live in Canada, so if I am disqualified from the draw, that's ok :)

Hi Mary, enjoyed the story of your grandparents and how they meet. What a delightful story to be able to pass onto their family.
I have never read any of your books and if I win I would love to read "Out of Control".
I am also from Canada and glad to see there are other Canadian's here!
God bless you!

My grandparents had a grand piano in their home. That piano seemed too big to have fit in their home.
I asked my mom when did they buy it. She has no idea. She asked her sister, her sister has no idea.
It was just always there from their earliest memory.
That piano is going to be the center piece of my story.
I think I said this before. But it seems so weird to me that in all the years my mom lived in that house adn played the piano (my mom was the only pianist of the five kids and it was a huge bond between her and her mom) she never asked, "So what's with the grand piano in an old country farm house???

Pam
10/13/2011 04:28:40 pm

Mary, I just LOVE hearing stories by the older generation. I could just sit hours and hours listening to them talk of days gone by: of hardship and fun alike.

Your grandparents' story sounds wonderful. How DID people back then survive? In your grandparents' case, they married and moved forward in life. And that piano! What a mystery in itself for no one to know from where or when it came. I'm looking forward to reading this book, as well as your others that are already out.

10/13/2011 05:00:34 pm

mary. i absolutely LOVE your books. your humor is so right up my alley. the story about your grandparents is a wonderful read and insight into american history. i would definitely buy your fictionalized version!

i have a particular interest because my family history on my mom's side involves farming in North Dakota. grandma and grandpa had eleven children (10 girls, 1 boy). my momma is the oldest. i can so imagine your grandparents life, since my mom has related much similar stories as yours.

mom's told me my granddad hopped trains during the Great Depression to find work where he could to support his wife and family.

anyway, i'd be interested in your X Plagues book - since it's so different from your regularly scheduled books.

What a lovely story. I'm captivated by the grand piano as well.
It reminds me of my great-grandparents. He had 7 or 8 children and his wife died. Her sister (my great-grandmother) came over from Germany to help with the family. They ended up marrying and had a second family the same size. At one time the whole town had to have been related!

I already bought out of control and would love to try Ten Plagues, even though it's scary.

Real life marriage of convenience stories that work are just as great to read as fictional ones, I think.

I LOVED Mary's story about her grandparents' marriage! So many elements of romance. Mary just knows how to tell a good story. I usually buy her books when they come out, but now is not a great time for us financially (sound familiar, anyone else?). I would love to read Out of Control or Ten Plagues (as would everyone else on this blog, right???). Thanks for having Mary. She's one of my faves.

With the help of my spreadsheet and random.org, the winners of Mary's books are:

OUT OF CONTROL - Lyndee Henderson

X PLAGUES - karenk

Congratulations, Ladies. Mary will be in touch with you both concerning your postal addresses.

Thank you everyone who took time to read and comment on Mary's post. I really liked reading your memories and appreciate your visit.

Mary, I really appreciate you breaking away from your busy schedule to post here this week. It takes a time commmitment not only to write the post, but to dig up the old photos and then stop by to answer comments. You've done a wonderful job.

I loved seeing the water ripple effect of your post in action. The readers responded to your memories. And this morning as I read the comments again, they brought up memories of my own grandmother and her awe at having electricity installed in the late 60's. Especially having a refrigerator in her kitchen. She didn't have indoor plumbing, but she could save her food from spoiling and she could read in bed at night without squinting in dim lamplight. With those things and Jesus, what more could a person want?

Thanks again, Mary. You're welcome to update us on the fictionalized account of your grandparents romance at any time. :)

Anita Mae.
