Lindsay McKenna | Ebook Release Of Lindsay's Other Books She Wrote For Other Publishers September 16, 2013 Via Harlequin

Harlequin has bought nine books that I've written for other publishers over the years and are going to convert them into Ebooks so that they will be available for my readers.

Some of you loyal reader who started with me in 1980, may already have them as paperbacks. You need to know that my original pseudonym on each book has been replaced with my Harlequin pseudonym, Lindsay McKenna, so you don't mistakenly buy something you already have.

In some cases, book titles have been changed by my editors, who felt they needed a little modernizing or updating for readers in 2013. What is exciting is these are my first books I ever wrote coming into the field of romance publishing! So these books hold my heart as my foundation books for a career that has continued to expand beyond thirty years--thanks to my readers.

Below are the books and if the title was changed, it is so noted and hopefully will not confuse you. Harlequin has also given each book a new cover which is wonderful.

They will be available 9.16.2013 over at eHarlequin.com (ebooks). You can also get them through amazon.com and other outlets as well.

I thought it might be fun to put AUTHOR COMMENTS on my very first book I sold.

1. WHEN TOMORROW COMES (was: Hold Fast 'Til Morning (was: Beth Brookes, SCAL (Second Chance at Love)

WHEN TOMORROW COMES

This was my FIRST book I ever got published! I can't tell you the thrill after working at my writing for 22 years, to have this book bought by Second Chance at Love/Berkeley Publishing. To say I was over the moon that it was bought can't even begin to put into words! And SCAL demanded that I have a pseudonym, so I chose Beth Brookes. Publishing companies at that time, wanted to "own" your name so that they would enforce you staying with them to publish. That has changed a lot since 1980 when I entered the book publishing arena. I ended up with Beth Brookes for SCAL, Lindsay McKenna for Silhouette/Harlequin, wrote under my ‘real name' of Eileen Nauman for Popular Library/Warner and a couple of books for Harlequin early in my career.

I had made my hero, Dominic Tobbar, a civil engineer. And my heroine was one as well. She is an American woman coming down to Argentina to take over a project that is behind and to get it back on schedule. She has to build a pipeline and bridge across a river. And of course, in Latin American, women are seen not as professionals having a career. Keeping in mind I wrote this in 1980 when women down there really didn't have the opportunities for a career like a man did. The friction between the hero who is Italian heritage but his family comes from Argentina, is pretty obvious--he doesn't think any woman could handle an engineering project. Never mind that Cait Monahan, the heroine, has built structures, bridges and pipelines all over the world.

It was a fun book to write and was "serious" versus the "fluff and humor" that was being sold at that time. I've never been a fluff writer...just don't have it in me this lifetime. I've always written serious, realistic books because I feel real life is a friction and great challenge in a person's life--whether in real life or in a story like this.

Visit me at here where I have much more on my books for my readers! I've gotten my 109 books placed into series and when each book should be read. So, come on down!
