Bookstrand no more…

It’s ridiculous that I have to take time away from my full-time writing career to do this, but here it goes… I just received the following email: Dear Indie Author,   We have made a decision to no longer maintain most indie author accounts at BookStrand.com.  Therefore, we are deactivating all titles associated with your account and no new uploads will be accepted.  Your final distribution payment will be disbursed to you within 30 days and your account will be closed. During this time you will still be able to access your sales report from your account.   BookStrand will focus on its core business by servicing accounts of publishers with clear submission and publishing guidelines that best serve our targeted audience.  Our customer base was successfully built on this premise, and it’s time to go back to our roots.   While we understand you may be disappointed in losing a distribution outlet for your work, there are still several outlets that currently accept self-published titles. We wish you the best in your endeavors.   Sincerely, Howie M. BookStrand.com No, I didn’t make a lot of money from my self-published titles on Bookstrand. In fact, hardly any at all. Seriously, […]

COWBOY LUST: Cover Art & Paperback Preorder Is Up!!

There’s a reason Western romance novels never go out of fashion. The cowboy is an iconic figure embodying the dichotomy of the fiercely independent, earthy alpha male juxtaposed with the male as a nurturer and protector. Cowboys take care of their women in every possible way. Wild and wayward women are gentled by the scent of horse and cow and the sight of sun-kissed skin, the feel of work-hardened thighs and arms, and the sound of a deep-voiced Texas drawl. Contributors at the top of the Western romance genre, including Charlene Teglia, Randi Alexander, and Cat Johnson, have corralled here strong and memorable characters ranging from a rodeo star and a cop on horseback to a feisty female gunslinger. Traversing romantic settings from Montana, Texas, California, Mexico, and the Outback of Australia, the stories in Cowboy Lust are risky and risqué, full of studs in spurs hot enough to send you to a vacation on a dude ranch! ~ With a forward by Lorelei James, 15 hot cowboy stories by 15 different authors, and edited by Delilah Devlin, this paperback is sure to pack a punch. ~ PREORDER from Amazon.com NOW & have the paperback in your hands on the August 14, 2012 […]
