A Quickie!
Did I get your attention? Oh I sure hope so! Today’s post is short and sweet. Mostly because I am blogging over at The Sweet, the Bad, ‘n the Wicked today and am hoping you will pop over there for my rambling words. But I can’t not tempt you just a wee bit before you go.I give you Ryan Kwanten who portrays Jason Stackhouse on HBO’s True Blood. Drool if you must ladies, but he’s not one I’m sharing. Now go over to SBnW and see what I’m blogging about over there.
P.S. I promise to get back to my regular blogging routine soon. Wednesdays are always crazy hectic though because it is a double post day for yours truly. Well that and I’ve got a little somethin’ somethin’ in the works. Later and happy Wednesday!
Contest ~ Wild Ride!
Wild Ride features three incredible stories with unbelievable characters. Seriously, take a look at the cover blurbs.
Buckling Down by Moira Keith~ Levi is in Vegas with one simple goal: cement his place in rodeo history. Then Lady Luck throws a wild card. Time hasn’t dulled his attraction to Sydney, but she’ll always be forbidden fruit. Sydney’s ready to give up on love…until Levi walks into her bar. She may think love’s not in the cards for her, but that doesn’t mean a girl can’t flirt…
Strong, Silent Type by Lorelei James~ Quinn thought he’d just bide time until Libby called a halt to this “trial separation”. He never believed it would drag on for a coon’s age. Libby knows he’s not prone to showing his feelings, but it looks like he’d rather hold onto his pride than to her. One weekend of uninterrupted sexual decadence with him is tempting…but will it solve anything?
The Real Deal by Niki Green~ When Willa looks out into the crowd during her burlesque act and sees a familiar face staring back, her past comes crashing down around her. Chase has some hard questions for the former love of his life, and he wants answers—even if he has to throw her over his shoulder and drag her back home…
They vary in heat, but they all deliver an awesome love story. (This is not entirely based on my biased opinion, but on feedback from readers. 
) Okay, here we go. This is for a print copy of Wild Ride, featuring my novella Buckling Down and signed by yours truly.

If I Only Had a Brain~
I would be freaking dangerous. Maybe genius level evil genius. Why are you shaking your head? I could so pull off EVIL on a diabolical level. No? Really? You don’t think so huh?
Okay, you’re right. Maybe not because honestly, I am way too nice for that. Truth though? I could be dangerous on a less sinister level. I mean imagine if I could actually remember when I had interviews scheduled to post, blogged more regularly, wrote when I had a free moment instead of hanging out on Facebook… see where I am going with this?
So getting to the point now! I have an interview up over at Amanda Young’s blog. Go check it out. Comment if you feel the need, but mostly just enjoy the interview!

I Am In Love~
And for once it is not with a pair of shoes.
I kid you not.
At the ripe ol’ age of ‘I’m not telling’ I have discovered a love for baseball. I come from a family of football fans. Niners fans to be exact with a straggler or two rooting for some other team. My twins… well somehow at the age of four they decided one was a Packers fan and one was a Cowboys fan. Needless to say their grandfather and aunt have not disowned them yet and it has been almost two years since they decided who they were cheering for.
One of my boys is a huge fan of baseball on the wii. So being the mom that I am (and having a best friend who is a HUGE Cubbies fan), I decided that the only thing I could do was learn a little about the sport. Low and behold I fell in love. Not with the guys in uniform, though I will admit they do add a little something to the game. I actually enjoy the game. Vegas has no claim to a major league sport of their own, however we do have sports here. We have hockey with the Wranglers, arena football with the Gladiators, and then we have baseball……where our beloved (even though they are not performing well) 51′s are currently the official farm team for the Toronto Blue Jays. But to my darling Cub-loving best friend, I will let you guess what team I root for.
Yep, that’s right ladies and gents. It is a Red Sox hat I am wearing. No the photo is not from a Sox game, but a local game before the 4th of July. Regardless it was a blast and we had awesome seats compelete with entertainment two seats over. So as my nephews are headed to watch the Angels play the Stankees… I mean the Yankees tonight, I am hoping the Angels can pull a little West Coast magic out of their hats and help keep the Sox ahead. Oh come on Yankees fans you’ve heard worse than that I am sure. Boston fans do too. It’s all for the love of the game. Hmm story idea brewing here….better get outta here.

Buckling Down Gets 4.5 Ribbons!
It is officially time for a happy dance!
Wow. I just don’t know what more to say. Utterly speechless. And as those who know me well can attest, that is not an easy feat to accomplish. I had a pleasant little surprise awaiting me today when I popped onto the computer this afternoon. An email listing reviews for books from my publisher sat patiently waiting for me to read and scroll. I did not expect to see my beloved tale amongst the list of books reviewed, but there it was. Courtesy of Romance Junkies, Buckling Down got a fab rating. I couldn’t be more tickled! First book, first review, four and a half… not too shabby. Seeing some of her comments at the end of the review made it all worth it.

How Buckling Down Came to Be~
I was sitting around, wondering what to blog about when I thought… hmmm a little peek behind the curtain of the great and not-so-powerful author mind. (Hey I resemble that remark!) Okay seriously moving on. There is no secret that my writing heart leans a bit farther towards the paranormal romance genre than any other, so to end up writing and contracting a contemporary western romance did take a few of my supporters by surprise. :p
Seriously, I was neck deep in a paranormal vampire/shifter story and my brother-in-law (bless his heart) decided to inform me that it sounded like I was writing Underworld Part 3. Well if that didn’t just rub the wrong way and in all the wrong places. Nothing against the Underworld movies, as I am a huge fan, but it wasn’t what I was going for. Not into writing Fanfic myself, though I can attest there are some great pieces out there. (If you don’t want to take my word for it I encourage you to go check out my friend Mike’s stuff at Ad Astra.) Anyhow, getting off topic.
Once the whole fanfic reference had run it’s course, I really couldn’t bring myself to continue on with that story. SO I decided that I would write something as a surprise, for my mother. Something I believed she would be more interested in. She reads paranormal, but it is not her favorite, and a contemporary western seemed to fit my mood at the time. My love and admiration for my mother helped breathe life into Sydney Hart, my heroine. My mother is a woman who has already experienced so much in her life, and there is this inner strength in her that I admire. It is that strength that fueled my imagination with Sydney. Levi… well it would seem that he just appeared in my head, larger than life and ridin’ a bull, with a little bit of a Paul Walker look to him. Okay, I am not going to apologize for fantasizing about Paul Walker. Slap me if you will but that boy is hot. No I did not recently watch a movie starring him prior to writing Buckling Down. He appeared, I wrote him. Hell who am I to argue with a hot cowboy?
I would love to say that writing this story was easy, but it would be a lie. Ask Rown, Betty, or Sally at TGOB and they will attest to this little fact. Sex scenes? Well we will leave that little tidbit of info for another post. I did however, enjoy the entire process, including the bitching and complaining, ripping my hair out, noticing a few new grey hairs, and the stress that comes along with the entire process. No I would not trade one bit of the experience for all the tea in china…but just maybe for a Levi McKenna I might. Don’t forget to check out the excerpt on Samhain’s site.
