Welcome Author Starla Kaye

Today, I'm featuring Author Starla Kaye whose audio book, Cowboy Dreamin' came out on October 26, 2015.

Starla Kaye wears many hats professionally and as a writer. She is the community coordinator for a Midwestern accounting firm, a gerontologist who volunteers with an active group of senior adults, a mentor/teacher of writing, and a multi-published author. She dabbles in writing romances of many sub-genres: contemporary, historical Western, medieval, sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, and Regency. To date she has published 20 novels, 38 novellas, 8 anthologies, 3 audio books, and 18 short stories. You can learn more about her work at http://starlakaye.com

 Kendra spends her days and nights running a business, sculpting, and leading a Tahitian dance group in Kauai. She can’t squeeze anything else into her life, but she dreams of cowboys. Sexy, hot cowboys in tight jeans, low-tipped Stetsons, and dusty boots. Men who know all about how to please a woman. She enjoys her fantasies, but can’t imagine ever settling down. But one night with one would be so nice. Surely that would get her dreams of a white knight cowboy sweeping her off her feet out of her system.

Because of an accident that Shane believes left him “less of a man,” he doesn’t see a wife and children in his future. Carson, his ranching partner—and sometimes lover—thinks Shane is wrong. Carson refuses to let Shane settle for a life of rodeo bunnies who only want a romp in bed with a bull rider. Shane deserves more than that. He manages to sign Shane up with a matchmaking service to, hopefully, meet another kind of woman, maybe someone who will appreciate Shane for the man he is. Except Madame Evangeline expects both of the cowboys to go on this special one night date. It doesn’t take long for either cowboy to realize that one night with the purple-haired, hip-shaking beauty in Kauai might not be enough….

My Books Temporarily Unavailable

All of my books, but one will be temporarily unavailable as my publisher, Secret Cravings Publishing, has unexpectedly closed. The authors were notified yesterday and I'm uncertain at this point where my books will be published next. Once I get the publishing rights back, I will do my best to find a new home for them and any new books. Keep checking back here for updates. Thank you.

Authors Fairs

April has been a busy month for me. I participated in two authors fairs this month and had a wonderful time at both. The first one was That Book Place's 5th Annual Authors Fair in Madison, Indiana on April 4. It was so much fun seeing old friends and meeting new people. I never want to miss this event. It's a great start to the new season of fairs, festivals, conferences and events.

The second event was the Jeffersonville Township Public Library Authors Fair on April 13 to celebrate National Library Month. Again, I got to see some old friends and meet a few new authors and a few new readers. This was my second year for the event and I hope to continue to return each year.

Thanks to both event coordinators for the invitations and to everyone who stopped by to talk.
