My new book has only been out for a month, but I’m already working on the next book in the series. There’s no title, yet—not even a working title—but the story line has been circling around the outskirts of my brain, waiting for its turn to be told. Even while I was knee-deep in writing Cedar Ridge, Laney Redford, a sweet brunette waitress at the Rusty Spur, was pestering me to write her story next. So, once this book was out and well on its way, I had to put my focus on Laney.

I’m only eight or nine chapters in, and a few things are changing already from my original outline, but I can tell you that Laney is a hardworking gal, with an eye on buying out her boss and eventually owning the Silver Spur, Cedar Ridge’s only bar. Because of her focus on her goal, she doesn’t have time for romance, and certainly not with any of the musicians that come and go playing the Spur and playing the love ‘em and leave ‘em game … until Ryder Blake comes along, fresh off a second place win on a televised talent show, then all bets are off. I’m having a blast writing these two and hope you enjoy reading their story once it comes out.
