UNRIDDEN AT SAMHAIN

Today, one of my favorite books from all I’ve written officially released as part of the Samhain Publishing family. I am thrilled with this wonderful lead-in to the release of my next Samhain cowboy novel, BUCKED, in February of 2010. Please enjoy this excerpt. Cat Unridden Copyright © 2009 Cat Johnson All rights reserved — a Samhain Publishing, Ltd. Publication http://samhainpublishing.com/romance/unridden When country boys meet a city girl, everyone is in for a wild ride. Studs in Spurs, Book 1 Slade Bower and Mustang Jackson are living the high life on the professional bull-riding circuit. The prize money is big, the bulls are rank and the women are willing. But something is missing. For Slade, waking up in a different city with a different woman each morning is holding less and less appeal. Even Mustang’s creative attempts to shake things up don’t help. Then along comes a big-city author who’s like nothing they’ve ever encountered. Something about her makes Slade sit up and take notice—and Mustang is always up for anything. Romance writer Jenna Block has a problem—her agent thinks a cowboy book will jump-start her career. A born New Yorker, Jenna doesn’t do cowboys, not on paper, and definitely […]

Romance eBooks

I just returned from the Authors After Dark weekend where I met fans and other authors and finally got to put faces to names I’ve been running into online for years now. Now that I’m back, I’m catching up on sleep and work. Things are happening. Some long awaited, others a complete surprise. First, I was just brought on to be a regular blogger for a really fun site. This site has nothing to do with romance authors or readers, which is what makes it so exciting. I get to expose a whole new group of readers to the insanity that comes with the romance industry. The main site actually focuses on foods that are Aphrodisiacs, which makes it a nice tie in to romance actually. Here’s the link to my blog Confessions of a Romance Writer. From there you can get to the other blogs and the main site. Check it out, it’s a lot of fun. I stumbled upon it while researching natural aphrodisiacs for my upcoming release (which is my next bit of news). “Gillian’s Island”, a fun, sexy, short story, will release from Sapphire Blue Publishing in November. It’s about a group of castaways, my twist […]

Sex: Pushing the boundaries

The theory goes that everything cycles. I know this is true in fashion. I’m sad to admit I’ve lived long enough to see bell-bottom pants come and go twice now. Will romance go full circle as well? I remember stealing one of my mother’s Silhouette Romances when I was young. Reading and thinking it was so scandalous when the couple kissed and then “made light love before eating lunch”. Now as the pendulum swings further out than ever before, I wonder where we can possibly go next. As I monitor the best selling list on All Romance eBooks, I see themes that shock even me, and I write erotic romance for a living. What were not one but TWO of the best selling eBooks of 2008? Twincest. Books that feature love, and yes a sexual relationship between twins. Male twins, not that their sex matters since they are siblings having sex and that is where the shock value comes from in my opinion. Let me reiterate. Two of the ten best selling books of the entire year spanning all genres of romance featured twincest. Other recent best sellers? eBooks featuring multiple partners. Not just threesomes either but many men, three […]
