In the legacy of cowboy lore, the landscape has often remained pale. Shara Azod, Kathleen Rowland and RaeLynn Blue offer Black Roots and Cowboy Boots: An Anthology of African American Cowboys. This robust and sizzling anthology offers stunning, but sensual stories that take place in the past, contemporary, and future of cowboy life and love.
A glimpse of the past arrives in MAIL ORDER HUNTRESS, a historical novella. Mail order bride Truth Hannah arrives to meet her intended, a Black cowboy, Benjamin Stahl, but he doesn’t know it. As a favor, another cowpoke signed him up. Truth isn’t about to head back after she meets her handsome, mysterious intended.
Another slice of the cowboy life is offered up in RIDE OF A LIFETIME, a contemporary erotic tale. Trace Richards is not happy. As a star of the African American rodeo circuit, he should be out there bronco bustin'. Instead, he is stuck babysitting his bosses’ granddaughter. It's bad enough a minor injury is keeping him out of the saddle, but when the bosses brat turns out to be the finest woman he had ever seen Trace knew he was in for trouble.
Jesse Love was a woman on a mission. She out to prove she is more than the bosses granddaughter, but that she is one hell of a cowgirl. She is also out to get her man. Jesse has had her eye on Trace for quite some time, and she was determined to rope her one obstinate cowboy.
The anthology concludes with a futuristic flash forward in ASHES OF LUST. Space cowboy, Anton Johns, has spent the last ten years of wrangling space debris and rogue satellites for Orbital Junk, Inc. It isn’t a glamorous job, but it pays the rent and the upkeep of his mechanical horses. That’s the way he likes it, predictable and pleasant. But while on Earth Prime collecting broken bits of a satellite and boosters, he discovers a dead body. When investigator Commander Sydney Ashe arrives, Anton will do anything to wrestle her sweet body.
Lead investigator for Outpost 1 on Mars, Commander Sydney Ashe is stunned when she’s assigned to investigate a suspicious death on the Earth Prime. It’s a job for a lesser investigator, not a seasoned commander like herself. Thinking she’ll be in and out in a matter of days, Sydney meets Jacob Jones and is instantly attracted. But will she drop her guard for a common space cowboy? Or will she sail on to her next assignment without another look back?

Overboard by Shara Azod
Being thrown overboard off a luxury liner by her so-called aunt and cousin was bad enough, but being rescued by a creature that shouldn’t even exist took the cake. Mix in the infuriating man’s insistence she was his “perfect mate” and Dallas had had just about enough.

But first she had to get past an extremely adamant, extremely horny selkie.
Thane was more than satisfied at the mate the Fates had provided for him. Hot and feisty, full of life and a body that made him want to cry. All he had to do was to get the daft woman to see they were destined to be together. Unfortunately, she was human, so Thane had his work cut out for him.

A Love Reborn by RaeLynn Blue
On the isle of Aquatrion, there is a legend that speaks of the Sirens’ gift to those who drown at sea. Once one has been consumed by the waters, for his sacrifice, he will be turned into a selkie—both man and seal, to live amongst the sea, for his soul would forever be tied to both, that to which had been born, and to that which had died.
Kikomo mourns the death of her husband-in-waiting, Takumi. Lost saving her life during a storm at sea, Takumi’s body was swallowed up the roaring waves and choppy seas. A year later, Kikomo’s father demands she marry the local merchant, a fisherman and a man of great political power. Distressed, she flees her home to the sea. There she cries seven tears in to the sea. At once a selkie appears, and he bares a striking resemblance to Takumi…

Faith’s Tears by Aliyah Burke
Can a woman who lives her life based on logic and tangible things trust in the love and belief of a man claiming to be a magical being, a selkie?
From the moment his gaze landed on her dark beauty, Rowan Kilgour knew she was his life-mate. Despite his feelings, he knew she deserved a chance to experience life before she was tied to him forever. So he waited. Seventeen years. And now that he’s found her again, he’ll be damned before he lets her go.
Faith Henderson still wore the pendant given to her years ago by a senior in high school when she was a sophomore. While visiting the Isle of Skye she is reunited with him. His dark hair, muscular body, and dark chocolate mousse eyes still had the power to turn her into a puddle. Add to that his thick Scottish brogue and she was putty.
Can Rowan convince Faith that their lives are intertwined? Will she get past her disbelief in magic to see him for what he truly is? And accept him for it? Or will a darkness from her past keep them separated for all eternity?
Sometimes all destiny needs is salt water, in Rowan’s case all he needed was… Faith’s Tears

Sealed With a Fist by Jeanie Johnson and Jahya Leigh
Is it really so bad when the bane of your existence a) is a bigot; b) hates animals unless they're dipped in batter; c) cannot swim; and d) keeps a running commentary of insults aimed at you?
It is when you're a Selkie and your ball and chain is bigoted against anything in the water that doesn't have a motor or sails. Well, that's not exactly true because Yonder also hates sailboats. Ever since those meddling damn dolphins saved the feisty human girl from certain death she's been part of Aonghus's life.
Why does he have to get stuck with the surly ass woman who is a) human and b) human, and c) did he mention human? Oh yeah, because his Da—the Emperor of the Selkie and democratically-elected president of all water creatures—made Yonder his responsibility as part of his punishment.
Since she has nowhere else to go and he cannot drown her, she lives with them. Ever since she woke from the healing sleep she's brought nothing but chaos into his life. If he's not serving as her sounding board for her long list of 'why killing people is not always bad', he's serving as her impromptu bodyguard. The last thing Yonder needed was a bodyguard. No, what she needed was a bail bondsmen, a parole officer, and a priest. He cannot even count the number of times that he's been tempted to throw her to those shifters that have a hit out on her (which is pretty much every single animal in the Animal Kingdom including some humans) or outright kill her.

For the past nine years, Thierry Chevalier, the strikingly handsome, well-bred, polished son of one of the oldest, most powerful white families in Louisiana, has been harboring an impassioned desire to captivate the woman of his dreams. His desire, Angelique Dubois. Graceful, delicate and sensually delectable, Angelique seems as unattainable as she is desirous: the daughter of New Orleans’ mayor; member of a proud Black Creole family; and engaged to another man. But when opportunity opens, their fates are magnetized. The tempest of passion, power and pride that erupts is more sweeping than a steamy Gulf Coast monsoon.

Guest Blogging
I will be guest blogging tomorrow, July 15th at Marianne LaCroix's blog. There will be an announcement I am not posting anywhere else, so you might want to take a look see. I am going to bed now, just got back from Indiana, been in the car all day and all night. I am tired, I have a headache and I am considering making my kids get jobs-since they have so much mouth and all when you hands are on the steering wheel.

Hot Read!!! Steamed Desire by Fluer de Lis
Stalker, coffee lover or infatuated?
What happens when you fall for the guy behind the counter?
Callista is hot to trot for Cole, who happens to be the most sexiest man she has ever seen. She keeps coming back over and over again to Java Jitters to get something hot. Is it Cole or is it coffee she is interested in?
Do you take a chance?
Or do you let the steamed desire fade?

I'm Back!!!
I know,I have been MIA lately. Things are a little crazy, as my life so often does. Here's a little update on upcoming releases and projects.
This Thursday, Red Rose Publishing will be releasing Touch A Four Leaf Clover (written with RaeLynn). Unlike the other holiday stories, this is one book, it is NOT a menage, and it is a fantasy/sort of
paranormal. I am really excited about it, hope you all get a chance to get a copy and enjoy.
I just turned in the first of the contest winners stories. It's called Designing Berlin. I am very excited about this one. Hopefully it will be out next month. I will be starting on the second fairly soon and
hopefully, I will be able to write the rest quicker (depending on my crazy, crazy job). The publisher wants to release one every other month. My fingers are crossed.
Okay, as far the Chevalier men goes, I cannot really talk about that right now, but please know that I am working to have Remy, which is the next book in the series, released as soon as I can. As to where it
will be released I cannot say just now. I cannot get into the details just now, but I am working on it.
There is a second in the Anchor's Away series coming really soon. It is called Anchor's Away- Red Skies At Night. It is with the editor right now (*waving wildly at my awesome editor*). It will be released near the end of this month.
I am working on a number of projects just now. RaeLynn and I are working diligently on the Relationships at Work Contest. We both will release novellas along with the contest winners. We are also working
on Mother's Day stories. These will be BBW single mother novellas with foreign men (yum!). We are very excited about this project. I am also working on Georgie's Beau. It is slow going because I want to be true
to the time period and the characters. I am also working on something else, but I don't want to release any details just now. I am going to be a busy woman for some time. I am going to post a list of recommended reads tonight. I hope y'all take a look at these ebooks (though I know some of you have already)by great writers, some new, some that have been on the scene a while.
Special note, RaeLynn and I will be guest authors at Marie Rochelle's yahoo group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/marie_rochelle/
Okay, so everyone is updated. What has been going on with you guys? I miss talking to y'all.
PEACE!

Go For It!
El Dorado ~
Gaily bedight, A gallant night
In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, Singing a song,
In search of El Dorado.
But he grew old --This knight so bold --
And -- o'er his heart a shadow
Fell as he found No spot of ground
That looked like El Dorado.
And, as his strength Failed him at length,
He met a pilgrim shadow --
"Shadow," said he, "Where can it be --
This land of El Dorado?"
Down the Valley of the Shadow,
Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied --
"If you seek for El Dorado."
~ Edgar Allen Poe
Never let go of your dreams.

A Little Political Shilling
I generally don't shill for a candidate, but it's a weird year, so I figured what the hell.
