from Mia Marlowe...
Sins of the Highlander is my first collaboration with New York Times Bestseller Connie Mason. Credit for putting us together belongs to our wonderful editor, Leah Hultenschmidt and tireless agent, Natasha Kern. Leave it to Sourcebooks to come up with the idea of pairing us up to bring you a unique brand of action, adventure, and lightly paranormal historical romance. (More about that light paranormal bit later today!)
One of the things I love about writing for Sourcebooks is that their romance list reflects the best in all the romance sub-genres. Today, we'll hear from authors of historicals, romantic suspense, paranormal, military, and western. My next guest is CH Admirand, who specializes in bringing sexy cowboys to life!
_____________________________
CH Admirand: A
special thanks to Mia Marlowe for inviting me to be on her blog again. I just
have one question: Where did December go? DYLAN—Book 2 in my series for
Sourcebooks: The Secret Life of Cowboys—is just six days away! PINCH ME!! I’m
soooo excited and working to finish up all of the blogs and interviews for the
upcoming blog tour for DYLAN. There’s just something about spending time in the
fictional western town of Pleasure, Texas with those handsome Garahan brothers
that warms the cockles of my heart…and dare I say a few other places. ;-)
I’m
giving away a signed copy of DYLAN to one lucky commenter today, be sure to
include your email with your comment so I can get in touch with you. Good Luck!
What’s
not to love about the tall, dark, and handsome Irishmen? Their fabulous genes
and working with their hands for a living distract me at odd moments during the
day when I’m supposed to be writing the second book in my new Small Town USA
series for Sourcebooks. LOL…there’s just something about a cowboy and the
loose-limbed way he has of striding toward you that has the heart pumping and
the…hmmm…well you get the idea. ;-)
For
those of you who need the visual, Shelia Clover English and her team have
created yet another amazing video for me. Here’s the link to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC9v7XYdTkw
If you’re catching up and haven’t read the first book, TYLER, here’s the YouTube
link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXxyzy5RmqY&feature=related
To make it easy for you to get what you
want—a
cowboy to keep the home fires burning—here are links to purchase at
Amazon and Barnes and Noble:
TYLER: Amazon.com Barnes and Noble.
Sourcebooks
has a super special program going on right now! It All Started When—offering TYLER and other wonderful titles by my
Sourcebooks Sisters for just $1.99! Here’s the info and link: SOURCEBOOKS eBOOK DEALS! It All Started
When… First in “Series” for $1.99 Dates: 12/21/11 - 1/8/12 Complete Details: www.sourcebooks.com/component/content/article/43/1894-it-all-started-when.html
So
now that we are gearing up for the New Year, bring home a cowboy to cuddle up
with on these cold wintry nights. January won’t seem so bleak with a tall,
dark, and studly cowboy to keep you company. If you’re lucky he might just park
his boots under your bed. To read more, visit me at www.chadmirand.com , www.facebook.com/CHAdmirand , or www.twitter.com/CHAdmirand .
Because
I was on a double-deadline in December, I didn’t have time to give my webmaster
the virtual tour for DYLAN yet…here’s the info:

Congrats on your new release, CH! I haven't read the first book yet, but since I'm a big cowboy romance fan, these 2 books are must-have for me. I mostly read paperbacks & your covers gorgeous.

P.S. I hope your mom will get better soon.

ReplyDeletemy thoughts and prayers are with you and your mom.
Big congrats to the new release! Loved Tyler and can't wait to read Dylan's story
Hi Mia and CH,
ReplyDeletecongrats for the release book for both of you.
one book is about highlander and one book is about cowboy, the two stories that i love to read, so great ;)
eli_y83@yahoo.com
Aurian--I used to live in Wyoming. Believe me, I understand the appeal of a guy in a Stetson!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous--I'm sure CH appreciates your well wishes.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Sia! Your site is the official kick off to my SINS OF THE HIGHLANDER Tour.
ReplyDeleteFran--Tall, dark and studly works every time!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous--Dylan does sound yummy, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteNatalija--My daughter, who visited your lovely country, says the handsomest men in the world live in Rome!
ReplyDeleteHi Danny! So good to see you here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Eli. We're pretty partial to our heroes too! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your release! They all sound yummy! I have them all on my wishlist!

Congrats to CH on her new release! I hope her mom feels well soon. I love cowboy romances and I have Tyler in both print and ebook (couldn't pass up the sale).

Wow! You've got a busy schedule. I just finished up my own blog tour--during the holidays to boot. Whew! And congrats on the new release. :)

Love the covers to CH's books. They sound awesome. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteNot usually a big cowboy reader but I have read some and enjoyed them. (Usually more of a historical fan...) Your books sound terrific!

Hi Mia! This is such a fabulous idea, hosing a mega-party here on our Casablanca Authors Blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the prayers,my mom is much better today. It was a 7 hr round trip to the nursing home in PA, but well worth it, she seemed improved and happy to see my brother and I.
Thank goodness, he drove, my truck would never have made the trip. :)
Hi Aurian - Thanks for the kind words. She's improving.
ReplyDeleteI love Elizabeth Lowell's westerns. I had to run upstairs and check my bookshelf because I couldn't remember the name of Willow and Caleb's story...ONLY HIS! Loved it, but am really partial to her Medieval trilogy, too :)
Hi Aretha, thanks for the kind words about my mom ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Diana Palmer, but have heard great things about her books...so many books...so little time to read these days.
Isn't there just something about a cowboy?
If I could combine John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Roy Rogers and Clint Walker into one man--no wait--that would be toooo much man for me. LOL!
Hi Sia, thanks for stopping by...aren't my Sourcebooks Sisters great?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words about my mom.;)
I'm looking forward to guest blogging on your Thoughts Over Coffee on Jan. 20th :)
Hi Fran - thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteWhen the Garahan brothers walk into a room women stop and stare :)
I've got a few more blogs and interviews to compose...I'll need luck to finish in time.
Thanks!
Hi Betty- Thanks for the kind words about DYLAN. There's just something about him that tugged at my heartstrings. :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your new release. Cowboy heroes are wonderful to be swept away with when the going in real life gets tough.
ReplyDeletelittle lamb lst at yahoo dot com
Hi Natalija - I'm a big fan of cowboys myself and have been for as far back as I can remember. :)
ReplyDeleteSourcebooks has fabulous covers! I'm so glad TYLER and DYLAN are must reads. They're available in paperback and e-book.
Thanks for the kind words about my mom and 2012...it's going to be amazingly busy!
Hi Danny - thanks for the kind words about my mom. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed reading about Tyler and Emily. Ronnie really gives Dylan a run for his money.:)
It is really hard to say goodbye to Pleasure, Texas:)
Hi Eli - thanks for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteMia had a fabulous idea getting us all together in one day.
My Sourcebooks sisters are fabulous!
Hi Amber - thanks for the kind words and adding me to your wish list.
ReplyDeleteI have a TBP and TBR pile...not enough time these days...but I'm hoping for at least one day where I don't have to do anything so I can curl up and read. :)
Hi Maria - thanks for the kind words about my mom. :)
ReplyDeleteWow I am so honored that you have TYLER in both formats! How cool is that?
Cowboys make great heroes!
Hey Sidney! I can't imagine doing a blog tour during the holidays, being on deadline in December is a challenge, too. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Hi Robin - thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you think DYLAN looks great...I'm partial to the quiet middle brother...still waters truly run deep :)
