There may be yet more "forthing" on their end, and the blurbs could change before hitting the stores, but I can attest that these are pretty accurate plot-wise. What I'm not so sure they or the covers quite get across is that there's a lot of humor in the books. They're pretty lighthearted, fast-paced romances with a deeply emotional core.<br><br>As Wendy mentioned, I'm a librarian, so I'm all about matching the right books with the right readers. If people are considering investing their precious time and emotional energy and $6.99 to read one of my books, I want them to have the best possible understanding of what they're going to get! To that end, I'll be adding a lot of content to my website as the release dates approach. So if your interest is piqued at all, please do come sign up for my e-newsletter and/or check my website every so often (www.tessadare.com). My goal for the coming months is to give readers lots of info, so they'll have the best possible idea of what my books are like and whether they're likely to enjoy them.<br><br>Okay, end of shameless plug...<br><br>Thanks again, Wendy!

If I hear of any new westerns, I'll pass them along...<br><br>As for the "not a vampire, pixie or werewolf in the bunch"... LOL.
