One Night with a Cowboy Release Day Wrap-Up

It’s been a hell of a day! It started at 4am for me, when the release day To Do list woke me up. That’s when, over coffee and Twitter, I noticed release day had started as I slept, while the fine folks at Joseph’s Fine Foods held a countdown to midnight and my official book release. It’s been non-stop since! Here are a few of the exciting events of today. I discovered Barnes & Noble has a “Rough Cowboys” category, and look who the #1 best seller in it is! Rankings change hourly so I took a screenshot. I also found One Night with a Cowboy as the #8 Trending Nook Book on the site and the #2 in the Contemporary Romance/Cowboys category. Very exciting! But not quite as exciting as when the lovely Kim from Book Obsessed Chicks posted a picture of my book at a Long Island Barnes and Noble. That got me out of my house and in the car, headed for my own BN in Poughkeepsie, and lo and behold, look what I found! After creeping around upstairs in the romance shelves, trying to figure out how I was going to, should I find my book, […]

March 2013 Wildflower Calendar Wallpaper

This month’s wallpaper was inspired by a number of things. First, spring! Hopefully the thaw from this winter will bring flowers, leading us to the next inspiration–Keith Anderson’s country song “Picking Wildflowers”, one of my all time faves. Though, the background image is actually a field of poppies, inspired by a scene in this month’s release, A PRINCE AMONG MEN (a Red, Hot & Blue series novel) coming from Samhain. I’ve pasted that scene at the bottom of this post. As usual, feel free to grab the wallpaper for your desktop, and share it with a friend. Below are some different sizes. One should fit your screen. Depending on your operating system, it could be as easy as right clicking on the image and selecting “set image as desktop”. After you’re done, scroll down and enjoy an excerpt from my upcoming military romance, A Prince Among Men.
