This week marks the launch of a new trilogy,
NotMy1stRodeo.com, I have going with
Jenna Bayley-
Burke and
Sarah M.
Anderson.
We have a lot of laughs together, and weโre a little crazy, and we had a blast putting
this
together. So today I thought it would be fun to share some fun stuff to celebrate.
First of all, we built a website especially for the series. Since itโs based on a
fictional
dating site, head on over to
www.notmy1strodeo.com to read excerpts and check out the dating
profiles
of our characters. Jenna came up with our โCriteria Keyโ as far as age and experience
go, and
we think itโs pretty cute!
Like puzzles? Click on the book cover of NOTHING LIKE A COWBOY below to do a click-and-drag jigsaw
puzzle of
our anthology cover!
Maybe youโre just interested in reading the booksโฆin which case, you wonโt want to miss
the contest here on Fresh
Fiction,
going on until
the end of the month!
And just in case you donโt believe us about the fun part, you can always see it for yourselves
if youโre in
New York on
July 22nd. All three of us will be at the
RWA Literacy for Life book signing at the Times
Square
Marriott. Weโre
seated near each other too โ the benefits of last names that begin with A and B. In fact, Sarah
and I might
actually be
together or close to it. Iโm pretty sure shenanigans will ensue.
Either way, we want our readers to have as much fun with this as we did.
While bestselling author Donna Alward was busy studying Austen, Eliot and Shakespeare, she was
also losing
herself in the
breathtaking stories created by romance novelists like LaVyrle Spencer, Judith McNaught, and
Nora Roberts.
Several years
after completing her degree she decided to write a romance of her own and it was true love! Five
years and
ten
manuscripts later she sold her first book and launched a new career. While her heartwarming
stories of love,
hope, and
homecoming have been translated into several languages, hit bestseller lists and won awards, her
very
favorite thing is
when she hears from happy readers!
Donna lives on Canadaโs east coast with her family which includes a husband, a couple of kids, a
senior dog
and two crazy
cats. When sheโs not writing she enjoys reading (of course!), knitting, gardening, cookingโฆand
is a
Masterpiece Theater
addict. You can visit her on the website and join her mailing list.

Getting back in the saddle has never felt so goodโฆ
A NotMy1stRodeo.com Story
Brett Harrison tried marriage once and isnโt anxious for another round. So when his meddling
twin sister
sets him up
on a dating site, he seriously considers strangling her and cancelling. Luckily for him, heโs
too much of a
gentleman to
act on those impulses, and when he meets Melly Walker, he wonders if itโs time to get back in
the saddle.
Melly knows exactly where her previous marriage went wrong. She was dazzled by her exโs big-city
charm and
strayed too
far from her roots. This time, sheโs going with tried and trueโa dyed-in-the-wool cowboy. Her
first few dates
net her
more duds than studs, but when she meets Brett, sheโs ready to get more than just her feet wet.
The principles of trust and compromise are great in theory, but when Melly discovers Brett has
his eye on
more than just
her curves, she questions her judgment and his motives. Is Brett ready to drop his dreams for
something as
unreliable as
love?
Warning: Contains virtual hat-tipping, real-time kissing and sexy times. Yee haw!
