Dear Readers,
A lot's been happening in my neck of the woods these last couple of months, and I have a plethora (don't you just love that word?) of announcements to share with you.
The first is that two of my Harlequin American books, HIS ONLY WIFE and THE FAMILY PLAN have been translated into German and released overseas. This is really exciting for me as I've been hoping to break into the overseas market for a long time. It's also cool to see my books in another language, even if I don't understand a single word. The covers and titles have been changed from the originals, and it's interesting to compare how different cultures package the same book.
August is a great month for another reason. The first book in my Mustang Valley series, LAST CHANCE COWBOY, was released to some great reviews (check them out on my reviewpage). This is Gavin's story, the oldest Powell sibling and the one who tracks and captures the last wild mustang roaming the nearby McDowell Mountains. This was an exciting book for me to write as I live in the foothills of the McDowell Mountains and felt like the story took place in my own backyard. I did a lot of research for the series and while, to my knowledge, there haven't been wild horses in the mountains for many, many years, there once were and possibly could be today. |

The second book in the serires, HER COWBOY'S CHRISTMAS WISH, comes out in November, and the third, BABY'S FIRST HOMECOMING, in March of 2012. These books feature the other two Powell siblings, Ethan and Sierra, as well as continuing the story of the wild mustang.Lastly, I'm happy to tell you I'm making another big change in my life. I'm quitting my day job and writing full-time! I'm still in the process of transitioning, working a couple afternoon a weeks while I train my replacement, but it won't be long now. Turns out, there's no rest for the wicked :) I've been invited to participate in Harlequin American's second continuity series, The Harts of Montana. My book, the first one in the series, will be released in July of 2012. I don't have a title yet, but I'll let you know as soon as I do.
I'm so glad you stopped by and let me share my exciting news with you. As always, I love to hear from readers, so drop me a line or sign up for my newsletter.
Warmest wishes,
Cathy McDavid
