My contract has been signed, my cover art questionnaire has been filled out, my blurb has been hacked down to size and all my ducks are in a row.  I’ve been bursting with this news for well over a week now and I’m so glad to be able to finally share it!

Seven years ago I set out to get published – back before ebooks were in and before I knew what an adverb whore was or how to stop myself from being one.

Three years ago I abandoned my first novel and started on this one, on this series.  Changing Tracks and its main characters, Jane & Cole have come to mean so much to me.  All I have wanted for them is to give them the story they deserve and to see it published in print.

I have just signed with Secret Cravings Publishing to make that dream a reality.  Even better they are using the cover art I made for the book three years ago.

In February 2013* Changing Tracks will be published in ebook format.  Six months later, in August of 2013* it will go to print.

Now I’m setting out on the crazy ride of getting the book into print and I’m bringing you all along with me.  For now, I’ll leave you with the (long version) of my back cover blurb.

There is nothing simple about forgetting your past.

Cole Mitchell runs the busiest saloon and brothel in Dominion Falls.  He makes time with his women, makes a killing gambling, and exerts his power how he pleases.  One thing he never does is let anyone in.

Until the day she falls into his saloon bleeding and near death.  He saves her from the pine box, and finds he can’t walk away. The problem is, if he lets her get close he could relive his past – and he worked too hard to forget it.

She wakes with no memory, only the firm belief that someone wanted her dead. With no name she keeps ‘Jane Doe’ and tries to carve out a life. She finds herself drawn to Cole, and they start a fiery relationship that sets the whole town talking. Their pasts – her lack of, and his buried – keep them from admitting the depth of their feelings, but they find they only trust each other.

Through the chaos of renegade Indian raids, an abandoned husband and her recurring nightmares they fight to find the truth of what happened to her. She soon learns that sometimes the truth is the last thing you want to learn, and she starts to think it may be best to leave the past where it is.

That past isn’t that willing to let go. A stranger proves that he’s willing to kill to keep his secrets safe. If Jane doesn’t remember soon, everyone she loves will be in danger.
