Where to Begin
A woman’s life is hectic. Between family and career, it’s
often difficult to juggle day-to-day activities much less squeeze in something
extra. As a writer, I often find myself in a crunch for time. My muse pulls one
way and readers guide me in another direction altogether. Lately, I’ve
discovered my muse shouldn’t have a dog in the race. When readers ask for a
certain book, the excitement and energy they have for a particular series is a
great source of inspiration when I finally sit down to write a new book.
Cowboy Boots and Unsettled Debts
is a prime example.
Cowboy Boots and Untamed Hearts
kicked off the Cowboy Boots series in April of 2009. The book captured the #1
spot at Siren-Bookstrand and went on to become the #1 bestselling erotica and
western title at Amazon. A bestselling title at All Romance Ebooks and
Mobipocket, Cowboy
Boots and Untamed Hearts was soon followed by Cowboy Boots and Unfinished Business which was also
received well by readers who supported the series.
I’m thrilled and excited about the new Cowboy Boots release, but must admit Cowboy Boots and Unfinished Business remains my
favorite book in the series due to the unusual bond formed between sisters as
one woman courageously faces her death while asking another woman to take care
of the men she’ll soon leave behind.
The reader support for the Cowboy Boots series is one I
can’t describe. Readers write and ask about continuing the series and I can
promise there’s more in store. While writing Cowboy Boots and Unsettled Debts,
book three, the idea for the fourth installment materialized as well. Cowboy Boots and Undesirable Characters will
soon be submitted for consideration.
In the meantime, more books are in the pipeline for the
Cowboy Sex series. Sex Party was my first western ménage romance. If you enjoy
family sagas, come on over to the ranch and meet the Cartwell family.
While you’re there, stop by and say hello to the McKay brothers,
too.
The Cowboy Sex books tend to write themselves. The stories
unfold quicker than I can put them down on paper. The Cowboy Boots books were a
little more difficult to write. Driven by the hot romance and fast action, the
characters in the Cowboy Boots books
tend to ‘get carried away’ with their toys and props.
With several series to complete and numerous manuscripts
stored on my desktop, there’s the ever-present daily question—Where to begin?
As readers, we ask the same question. It’s not easy locating
the order in which series books were written. Today, as we celebrate the
release day of Cowboy Boots and Unsettled Debts,
I invite you to check out the entire series.
Start with Cowboy Boots and Untamed Hearts
and meet the Donovan brothers from Southwest Virginia. Then, meet the Remington
men and the women they love in Cowboy Boots and Unfinished Business. As they cope with tremendous loss,
they find strength and hope in the arms of a woman they never expected to love.
Finally, I invite you to pick up your copy of Cowboy Boots and Unsettled Debts, on sale today at Siren-Bookstrand.
