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 […]

Ho, Ho, Promo Ho – Nice & Naughty

Another Cat Johnson holiday-themed book is actually 3 in 1. NICE & NAUGHTY – three love stories, three heroes, but all intertwined with one over-arcing theme–sexy firemen raising money for charity by posing nude for a calendar and hosting a bachelor auction. I LOVE old Christmas movies. Christmas in Connecticut starring a young Barbara Stanwyck is probably my favorite of the bunch but I can rewatch these classics every year. The themes inspired me for the stories in this trilogy. If you love the old black-and-white classic holiday movies such as Christmas in Connecticut, Shop Around the Corner (remade with Tom Hanks as “You’ve Got Mail”), and Holiday Inn, you’ll love the three Nice & Naughty stories they inspired. Nice & Naughty ~ a hot holiday trilogy with firemen What’s better than a fireman? Twelve of them, naked, on the pages of your calendar. Secret Recipe: A famous lifestyle maven who secretly can’t cook? Good thing a sizzling hot fireman/calendar model knows his way around the kitchen and is there to rescue her and her charity event from certain disaster. If they detour to the bedroom on the way to the kitchen, even better. Mr. December: When the real December calendar […]
