Keep Calm and Eat Bologna

Yes, bologna can be sexy, at least the Joseph’s Fine Foods fried bologna sandwich is in this scene from my  ONE NIGHT WITH A COWBOY. How did this strange but tasty collaboration begin? The story is HERE. And even more exciting is that you could possibly get your hands on a Keep Calm and Eat Bologna fridge magnet in the design shown here. Supplies are limited but look for them at Joseph’s Fine Foods in Drumright, OK. Or, if you’re not in the Drumright area, look for me at a reader convention in 2013 to get yours! (while supplies last) EXCERPT: The hostess seated them at a back table, also good for privacy, and handed them menus. Two needs dominated Tucker when he glanced over the menu at Becca, looking adorable across the table—food and sex. Since he wasn’t sure he should be talking about sex so early in the day, he figured he’d better stick to the other topic occupying his thoughts. Food. “I’m not letting you leave here without having your very first hush puppy. We’re definitely ordering those. So besides that, let’s see what else looks good.” She frowned down at the menu. “There’s a lot on […]

Countdown to One Night with a Cowboy

42 days until the official release of ONE NIGHT WITH A COWBOY, and even though it’s been on preorder at Amazon and BN for a while, and the paperback ARCs (Advanced Review Copies) have been out for review for about a month now, and the digital ARC is going up on Netgalley any day, release day is still the most exciting time for an author. The launch of a new book in a new series with a new publisher is even more so. I’ve already shared an excerpt of the hero and heroine sneaking off to a hotel together, and the hilarity that ensues. You can read that here. I’ve shared the real life story behind the infamous fried bologna sandwich scene here. You can read a portion of that fun, sexy scene on my Facebook Page in the Exclusive Fan Zone. But One Night with a Cowboy didn’t end up to be all fun and sex. The hero is a cowboy, yes, but he’s also a soldier. My non-fiction research for the chapters that take place in Afghanistan took me to a very dark place, and because of that, some of the scenes are deadly serious. I think it’s […]

Men & Women of the Military Blog Hop

Update- The winner is DarkBloodyVamp (@DarkBloodyVamp).   An entire blog hop dedicated to books about hot men (and women) in uniform? Oh, yeah, I got this! It seems I’m a wee bit addicted to writing about military men. They even creep into my cowboy books and I have quite a few heroes now who own both cowboy and combat boots. Mmm, mmm. The best of both worlds, wouldn’t you say? My characters span from elite Spec Ops to heroic Army infantrymen. There are officers, SNCOs and new recruits. Give me a pair of cammies and that sexy military haircut and it seems I’m happy. That’s why it’s no chore to write them, and why I have 3 military novels releasing before next March. MODEL SOLDIER (a Red, Hot & Blue novel) in December from Samhain. ONE NIGHT WITH A COWBOY from Kensington Brava in February–that one features one of those yummy cowboy/soldiers I mentioned. And then A PRINCE AMONG MEN (a Red, Hot & Blue novel) releases from Samhain in March. Lots to look forward to. And what fun promo I’ve been buying for the conventions I have booked for 2013. Anyone at RT in Kansas City in May or Authors […]
