Click here to enter our Valentine's Contest - we'll be drawing one winner from Facebook entries and one from our Website entries. The contest runs from January 1, 2014 to February 10, 2014.

It's a bright and shiny New Year, even if it is a little too cold right now for my liking! Living in the South, I'm not accustomed to these frigid temperatures! Come summer, though, I'll be yearning for a cool breeze.

So many of you are snowed in, under and sideways from the looks of the pictures you've sent us, we'll be sending our prayers for all of you! Stay in, stay warm, keep an eye on your neighbors and the elderly... and don't forget about those pets that aren't able to withstand this cold!

As for me, I'm staying indoors as much as possible, keeping warm and busy with all the new things we've got going on. We're really excited about next month's release of The Kerrigans: A Texas Dynasty
- check the links to the left to pre-order February and March's new releases.

This month we have the new release of the 20th book in the First Mountain Man - Preacher series, Preacher's Blood Hunt.

Over on the left there, you'll see a link to our Valentine's contest. You've got til the 10th of February to enter to win a great surprise package for yourself or a loved one! Whether you're on Facebook or not, you can enter - we'll be choosing two winners!

Until next time, keep the fires lit and keep your powder dry!

It's fur trapping season and Preacher is about to discover the Rocky Mountain trail holds more than wild game - it's also infested with murderers and trail trash quick to deceive, steal, and hunt Preacher down. Among them are Jebediah Druke, his ruthless band of killers, and most terrifying of all, the barbaric renegade Crow warrior known as Blood Eye.

When Preacher shows up and gets on their bad side, he stirs up a clash that could lead to a brutal and bloody battle. Preacher gears up for his own brand of raw justice when he learns Blood Eye's been tracking him with nothing but bad intentions. There's a showdown coming and only one man will ultimately rise up out of the carnage ...
