Unicorns Are Real, Who Knew?

Something amazing has happened. Hell, the impossible has happened. I almost didn't believe my own eyes. It's like a unicorn. Or a leprechaun. Shit, I think we've just sighted Big Foot.

Yep, it's true. A historical romance author is temporarily leaving England behind and publishing...

A Western!!!!!!!!!!


Gory details over at Sybil's blog....cuz she broke the news to me several months back and I owed her.

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

    Now if only Lorraine Heath would leave England long enough to give us a Western my world would be a much brighter place!

    And HUGE KUDO's to Jo Goodman for the risk in stepping outside the box that is the English historical!!

    Kristie: I knew you would be happy about this news. I was updating my Upcoming Historical Romance wiki this afternoon, which is when I noticed that a cover was finally on Amazon.

    And what a cover!

    That cover model is performing some kind of Jedi Mind Trick on me. "Look into my eyes Wendy. Succumb to the western-y goodness. Resistance is futile...."

    OK - sort of like the Jedi Mind Trick meets Star Trek.

    Sadly - I don't like the cover. He looks too much like Woody Harleson for my tastes. But I will buy it - oh yes I will - despite the cover :)

    So excited!

    Even after Kristie mentioned the unfortunate Woody-ness of the cover model. :-D

    I can honestly say I've never read a western before, but now that Jo Goodman's doing one, I'm certainly going to try! Goodman rocks.

    I heart the book. No haven't read it but fuck it. It is a western. So I heart it.

    Go Jo.

    I'm so happy to hear this, because for months there have been rumblings, "westerns are making a comeback" -- and since that's what I write, all I can say is, "it's about time". Give me a cowboy over a rake anyday!
