K.C. Klein | I'd Like My Romance on a Stick, Please.
November 14, 2012
Whoo Hoo! I am so excited to be on Fresh Fiction. (I kinda feel like I've just
gotten a party invite from the cool kids at school.) So before I go on, I have
to thank Fresh Fiction so so much for having me here. :-) I want to tell everyone about the big thing that is going on in my life, which
is...drumroll...the release of my first book in the Texas Fever series, TEXAS WIDE OPEN. I really am excited about this story because it is totally different from what
I've written in the past. I like my romances dark and gritty, the more torture
the better. This story started out as an escape, a little side action, from what
I really wanted to focus on. This was supposed to be my cotton candy romance.
You know the one that's easy to whip up and goes down just as quick. In the end,
writing my romance-on-a-stick became a lot more complicated than just adding
sugar and food coloring, but, oh, it sure was fun. Katie is the young girl next door who has loved her cowboy neighbor for, like,
ever. What I love about Katie was how easy she was to write. There was never a
question of how she would handle a situation. Simply put, she'd follow her
heart. She is fearless, passionate, and sometimes reckless when it comes to
people she loves or the causes she cares about. She's crazy about horses, the
ranch, and above all, Cole, the older man next door who, unfortunately, has his
own ideas about what's proper and what's not when it comes to their relationship. Cole is deliciously tortured. (Don't you love tortured heroes? Really, is there
any other kind?) He is riddled with so much baggage he needs a U-Haul. There's
plenty of guilt, shame, and addiction (yep, totally messed up) to go around.
There's a floundering ranch to take care of, a hell-raising, pool hustling
little sister to manage, and the head strong girl next door who tempts him at
every turn. Even though deep down Cole may love Katie, there's no way a lowly,
half-breed, who doesn't have two nickels to rub together would ever deserve her.
Sometimes the right thing isn't the easiest to do. So he makes sure Katie gets
the message...loud and clear. Here's the blurb because I know you're interested. Katie Harris loved growing up on a ranch. She had her horse, the beautiful
Texas prairie, and Cole Logan, the cowboy next door. But there are a lot of
secrets hidden under a Texas sky... Katie always knew she'd marry Cole one day—until he broke her dreams and
her heart. But now that Katie's father is sick, she's back home, older, wiser,
and nowhere near the love-sick fool she once was. Cole knows Katie doesn't want anything to do with him. But after so many years,
he can't pretend she's no more than a neighbor. Not when thinking about her
cherry lip gloss and hell-for-leather passion is keeping him up all night.
Holding his ground was hard enough when she was seventeen. Now that she's her
own woman, Cole's heart doesn't stand a chance... "Passionate, gritty and fast paced...with a hot blooded, honorable hero to
make every woman's knees go weak."—Diane Whiteside So come on, doesn't a little romance-on-a-stick sound good? It's like eating
melt-in-your-mouth mind candy, but without all the calorie regret later. One commenter will win a copy of TEXAS WIDE OPEN (e-Book)

Don't dismiss what you have written, just because it isn't dark! Providing material that people enjoy reading is a wonderful achievement and for your own sake it is good not to get stereotyped as a writer.
Good luck with the book, great cover!

Sounds fantastic, thank you.
(Holly Vanderhule 9:12pm November 14, 2012)
Love the cowboy and his baggage. The hero is always trying to do the right thing but it takes someone like Kate to make him see that sometimes it takes two people to make things right especially when they work together and have that special thing that keep bringing them back together.
(Kai Wong 9:21pm November 14, 2012)

Congratulations on the release of TEXAS WIDE OPEN! I think Katie needed the time to become a woman strong enough to help Cole come to terms with the baggage that's weighing him down.
(Mary C 11:03pm November 14, 2012)
You had me hook, line and sinker!! It sounded so finger, lickin' good, that I was reading as fast as my eyes could fly!! Then I got to the bottom of the page, and it said that the winner got an e-book!! I don't own an e-reader, and I'm totally crushed!! I hate not being able to get in on these contests, especially when the books are going to be this good!! How upsetting!!
(Peggy Roberson 11:07pm November 14, 2012)
sounds like a great read; anything cowboy!!! thanks for the draw
(Barbara Studer 11:52pm November 14, 2012)
