January 2009

Dear Reader Friends:

A fresh New Year always inspires me. Three hundred and sixty-five days full of promise and hope.

Soon I’ll pull on my author boots and board a plane to begin my tour to promote Montana Creeds: Logan, the launch book in my new series about three heart-stopping, estranged brothers who are former rodeo champions. In this February paperback that goes on sale January 27, Logan, Dylan and Tyler, descendants of the legendary McKettrick family, put their hell-raising days behind them and come home to put down roots in the Big Sky Country, to restore dignity to the family name and order to the ranch that is their heritage. The town’s laying bets as to who’s going to throw the first punch, but there’ll be new battles in town, for certain ladies’ hearts.

If you like stories about bad boys, these February/March/April books are for you!  Usually it takes a good woman to turn a bad boy around, but in my new series it’s the cowboys themselves who do the deed, for which I give them the championship buckle for heroism. Be sure to watch the video on this page that HQN put together to promote the Montana Creed series.

If you haven’t joined my reader list, now would be a good time, because there’s some exciting cowboy fun lined up for 2009 you won’t want to miss. In late January, everyone who’s trusted me with their postal mailing address will receive a colorful newsletter and laminated bookmark with information on all the year’s titles. If you live within 50 miles of any of my tour signings, you’ll receive a postcard alerting you to the dates and times. Once you’ve joined my list, you’re entered in all my website contests. Take a look at this month’s prize—books and Montana Silversmiths treasures. What more could a cowgirl want?

Thank you for your continuing enthusiasm for my books. I count you and my furry friends among my many blessings and wish you a New Year filled with family, friends and memorable times.

Linda
