Contract and Release

I appreciate all who have continued visiting me here. I have another web addy you might want to visit for daily updates  Gem's Place Too. but I love this blog because it lets me get creative with pics and the meandering character profiles I like to post when I'm writing. Now let's see what my sizzling hot westerns have coming for your enjoyment.

The Bounty Hunters Series:

Book One: Wolf's Tender will debut on Monday, November 16th from Liquid Silver Books.Here are three reasons to consider reading about the McCallister men.

If you search the archives of this blog, you'll find the character profiles for Naomi Parker and Charlie Wolf McCallister.It seems like I've known them forever, working with them to get their story told.

Charlie Wolf McCallister~ Book I: Wolf's Tender

Rough and tough Charlie Wolf McCallister knows he needs to get laid, when even a spinster school teacher with a sharp tongue, starts looking good to him. But, cad that he is, he operates on the philosophy that a bird in hand is better than no bird at all. And so he offers to trade service for—servicing.

When Naomi Parker's students are snatched from their school by marauding Comancheros, she can't believe that she hid like a coward and let it happen. The only way to ease her conscience, and get the girls home safely, is to hire half-Kiowa bounty hunter, Charlie Wolf McCallister. His price seems a bit steep, to prim and proper Naomi who must choose between her virtue and her students’ lives.

When one straight-laced spinster, tenders her body, to one cynical sometimes savage, the unexpected bounty, is love.

                       Samuel (Snake) McCallister: Book II

Sam McCallister meets his match in both poker and love when Eden Pace joins him in a game of 5-Card Stud.  No bet is too high or risk too much when the bounty hunter sets his heart on the gambler lady.  

He's got a wanted poster that says she's his.  Now all he needs to do is convince her that it's true.  Sam and Eden will be coming soon.

Deacon (Robert) McCallister: Book III

Deacon McCallister is alone. Maybe because he’s feeling sorry for himself, he stumbles into an outlaw stronghold. After two days of torture, he knows he needs a miracle.

Miracle Beauregard works alone. She’s after the same bounty as the red-haired McCallister giant. When she sees Deacon following the tracks of the Dead or Alive she’s after, she trails him. And then the preacher ends up inside the outlaw camp, staked-out over an ant hill.

Deacon swears he’ll grant his rescuer any reward. But, when the mysterious woman who saves him disappears, the third bounty hunter is on the trail of a treasure much more alluring than any wanteds he’s ever claimed before.

Eclipse Hearts Series~Book Two: Breed True

Breed True, Julie and Grady's story is completed and will debut in February (tentatively) 2010.
I enjoyed writing this story and looking back at the character profile of Julie,

I remember what a struggle it was to capture her essence--tough, vulnerable, beautiful in looks and spirit as well. I'll post their book cover as soon as it is released.                                        

                       

Half-Apache rancher, Grady Hawks, owns close to 10,000 acres of water-enriched, Texas grassland.But as soon as his white father is no longer in control, an Eastern Land Company moves to steal the family ranch, claiming Grady is too Indian to rightfully own Hawks Nest.

Grady decides to apply what he’s learned in mixing different strains of cattle. He needs to find a red-haired woman and breed back to the fair skin and Scottish features of his father. With a white child and wife, he plans to appease his neighbors and out-maneuver the greedy Eastern Consortium of business men who are trying to steal Texas land.

But when Grady meets auburne-haired Julie Fulton, the last thing on his mind is breeding cattle.

Thanks for stopping by.
