I had a blast at Romantic Times in LA — love that conference, but I am exhausted.
One of my favorite parts of that conference is getting to spend “face” time with my Samhain Publishing family — the wonderful Marty, our author liaison, the fabulously talented Scott, my cover artist, the crazy Heather, Crissy the CEO’s right hand woman, and last, but certainly not least, is my kick-ass editor, Lindsey. Lindsey stays pretty calm when I throw surprises at her.
Like…When I asked her how much of a pain in the butt it’d be if I switched out two story lines in the Rough Riders saga, taking one we’d scheduled for 2012 and moving it to 2011, and pushing the one from 2011 back to 2012, she didn’t even blink. She said, “We’ll make it work.”
So, I’m announcing that we’ve moved Tell McKay’s story, KISSIN’ TELL, to spring 2012.
NOW DON’T PANIC. That doesn’t mean you’re only getting one Rough Riders book in 2011. It just means I’ve moved Ben McKay’s book ahead several months. COWBOY CASANOVA will hit the shelves in October 2011!!
Those of you who’ve contacted me wondering about the mysterious Ben and when his book will be available…well, now you know — and you’ve gotta be happy I’ve decreased the wait time 🙂

Glad you had a blast and the switcheroo is cool, it’s a McKay so we will be smiling and panting =)
Chele Blades said:
you are the storyteller so you know best…I can just imagine all your characters standing up saying Pick Me! Pick Me…okay maybe not the McKay men…but they do enjoy the spotlight a lil’
I look forward to the Rough Riders and your Blacktop Cowboys as well…i am waiting *patiently* for June 28th!!!
Sharon said:
I don’t care when or how you release them, just that you do! I can’t wait to see how the rest of the McKay stories pan out. We love you Lorelei and know that now matter when they come out, they will be worth the wait!
Nikki said:

Kerry said:
DITTO to every comment!!! That may seem like the easy way out to make a comment but the ladies who commented before me said it all!!! I love these stories and feel like I know each & every character like they were neighbors! Hot D*mn why can’t they be my neighbors??!
Sophia (FV) said:
Awesome news! Yay!! I’ll take my RR books anyway or anytime I can get them. 🙂
Jenny Muraski said:
I was a little nervous there for a sec lol. I will be happy with whoever’s story you want to tell next. I just need my RR fix:)
Connie said:
Waiting till October is sucky…but unless I get hit with another bout of insomnia, I should be able to reread all the books and be ready for Ben’s story right on time. Hey, Chasin Eight is still hitting in June tho, right?
Tempie Bowers said:
Is Ben short for Bennett? HELP! I can’t place Ben…
Nikki said:
Yeah Tempie, Ben = Bennett the hottie brother of Quinn and Chase who lives in his own personalized mancave. Yum I can’t wait.
Kim said:
I have to agree with everyone else. As long as they keep coming. I really don’t ever want the series to end. Maybe all the babies will be old enough to have their stories told one day!
Leisa said:
Woo Hoo!! Can’t wait!! When will we get a peek at Chase’s story that’s due out in June? Love you Lorelei!
Karen said:
I agree–any of your books are worth the wait.
PS Will Keely and Jack ever have children? I could just see Jack in labor/delivery.

Sarie said:
The book dates are on my calendar…cannot wait! I’m not worried what order the stories are, just as long as we get our sexy McKay fix…and soon! Love your work Lorelei 🙂
Sarah said:
I’ll take any McKay book I can get my hands on. I buy them ebook then when they go paperback I get them too. Though I do have a soft spot for Tell, can’t tell you why though because I don’t know.
Laurie said:
I just can’t wait for Bens story what a hot Mckay just like all the Mckay men
Jen said:
I excited about each and every story you create. I look foward to each of them. Keep them coming in whatever order works for you.
Karen said:
I still think the RR book covers would make a great poster. My husband will not.
