Photos from my book signing at the beautiful Empire Ranch.

Image
I am still beaming from my weekend. I enjoyed   meeting wonderful people and fantastic  other authors. It is always a joy to visit Empire Ranch. A beautiful and vital part of Arizona's history. Honored to be there and hate leaving. If you find yourself in southern Arizona, please find the time to visit this historic site. True ranches are vanishing and it takes all of us to fight for preservation.

Cover Reveal for California or Bust and First Chapter Sample!

Image
California or Bust  Is a "catcher if you can" romance that is both sweet and spicy. This one will have you turning pages to find out if the con-man and the cursed widow can find love while chasing dreams and outlaws clear to California.   Releasing in November 2020  Cover design; R.C. Matthews  Read a sample of the first chapter and then browse the library tab to the left where all currently released books are listed. Enjoy! Chapter One “Just admit you set your house on fire, and we’ll go from there.” Charmayne flipped her hair behind her left shoulder and then crossed her arms over her chest. Why on earth would she do such a thing—on purpose!  “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”  “You smell like rotten feet and smoke. If you don’t admit to it, I’ll have arrest you on suspicion.”  The sheriff’s threat bounced around the courthouse’s cold and massive interior. The sound permeated a chill right through her dress ca...

Sorry I'm late! My Tombstone trip went AMAZING. Pics and stories.

Image
What can I say? I just freaking love the place. We had such a great time signing books, meeting people and then partying like rock stars at the Crystal Palace to my favorite band, The Panic Station. Good grief, so much fun, and then topped it off with a midnight stroll down Allen St for some spooky fun.   Here's a few pics. The floozy dress was a little revealing, but in Tombstone, NOBODY cared. It's a free for all of just a good time. Standing on the boardwalk during a quiet break. The crowd was amazing. We arrived early. I could stand there and watch Allen Street all day.

Here's my latest project! I am so in love with this hero that I purposely get back on my lap top and write just so I can visit with him! (C) 2109 Christmas in the Cowboy's Bed Elle Marlow Rafe Torrey is a widower with only two passions; the South Sixty Ranch and ensuring that his daughter Jenna doesn't marry the city boy with his Tesla stuck in the mud. Jenna thinks he's the one stuck in the mud since he refuses to date. When the South Sixty is in danger of encroachment by housing developers, Rafe must attend a Christmas party where he comes face to face with a scrooge in a tight dress. Sydney Barrett reeks of New York City, expensive cologne and too much holiday rum. If Rafe wants to save the South Sixty, he might have to swap her stilettos for spurs and knock the dust off the bedpost in this funny and heartwarming Christmas romance.

Happy Release Day! Surrender the Wind book 2 is now AVAILABLE.

Image
Woo hoo! It is always exciting to set a baby free into the world. Book 2 of the Fire on the Plains Romance Series is out!  Don't miss out on the love triangle between Wenona, Nash and Levi. This book is a continuation of Surrender the Rain. Special thanks to artist and author, R.C. Matthews for the beautiful cover. Owl Girl. Her grandmother ambushed her early before the sunrise to question her about the two men. As grandmother handed her pemmican for their morning meal, she acted like a little girl while she questioned which of the two brothers sparked an interest inside of her. At first, she scoffed at her grandmother for the ridiculous notion. Not because she found the men unappealing, but because Owl Girl claimed that one of the brothers wanted to take her away to be his wife. She didn’t tell her grandmother that the young one tried to choke her and that the older one seemed to thoroughly hate her. Click for Surrender the Wind

Welcome Author, Robyn Rychards to the Elite Blog!

Image
Some people just rock my world. Robyn Rychards is one of those true and loyal friends that works hard, laughs harder and is steadfast and true. She also writes one heck of a romance full of rich characters, clever plots and sometimes twisty ends. I love her work. And I love this book.  💓 . Robyn, welcome to the blog today. Please tell me all about your new release.  Dancing With the Best Man 🕮 For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a fascination with dancing, so needless to say, Dancing With the Stars is a show I’ve enjoyed for years. I’m also drawn to romance stories with a hero or heroine—or both!—who is some kind of professional dancer. The trick was doing something that wasn’t your run of the mill dance set up. Which generally is the hero having to learn to dance. So how to put a twist on it? The quick, easy solution is to have the man be the professional dancer. Done. But how to make it more outside the box? Easy solution again. The heroine doesn’t like dancin...

Cowboy Cussin' Why Lawyers Should Chase Horse trailers instead of Ambulances.

Image
Don't have a horse? Thinking it might be fun? Have some neighbors with horses and what appears to be a decent marriage? Pull up a lawn chair, grab a beer and some popcorn and let me fill you in on why your horsey neighbors always have that grizzled look cowboys are famous for. Here's how it starts. "Honey, let's go to the rodeo." This is when you run for the fridge to grab a beer, set up a lawn chair and start your video rolling. It's show time.  Step One. Somebody has to back the truck to the trailer.  Usually it's the husband. But as you will learn, this doesn't always mean that the husband was the best choice. He starts the truck and leaves the driver's door open, his left leg is casually draped over the edge because this is going to go so quickly, there's no point putting both feet inside the vehicle. He peers up through the rear-view mirror. Meanwhile, his wife is straddling the hitch, eyeballing him with doubt. Her immediate la...
