First review for Unbreak My Heart - Yay!

I don't usually post reviews but I was excited to see this one this morning. I had one other review before and it was from a lovely friend that, although, doesn't review every one of my books, I still feel is probably biased. And I love her for it.

This one is from a complete stranger who'd never read me before and it made me speechless. :)

5 out of 5 stars

"OMG!!! 

This is one of the most beautiful stories I have read in a long time. Extremely well written. The story made me laugh and cry. 

Wonderful!!!" 

It was a nice way to start the day, and it makes all the wrung-out hell Brett put me through worth it. :D

Hope you're all enjoying the book tour. Still a few days to go. :) (links updated)

Release Day! Unbreak My Heart is live!!

 Unbreak My Heart is out today! Colour me excited!

I've waited and been scared to death of this day, but I'm also so glad to finally have it released. My book tour will have eleven posts up in the span of ten days so I'm just going to make this short and sweet, then encourage you to visit the blogs of my lovely friends. ;)

I think there's something for everyone in the posts I've already done. On Joyfully Jay I talked about tropes, or more specifically, hurt/comfort which is a big element in my story. On Thorny, not prickly it was about my love for cowboys and a little about the city i live in - Calgary. Yesterday I shared ten things about the writing of Unbreak Your Heart with Tara Lain. For example, Brett Taylor was inspired by Christian Kane - what a shock right? Lol. Next up is Babes in Boyland tomorrow where I'll be doing an interview with the lovely Piper Vaught on my book.

"Unbreak My Heart" Book Tour Masterpost

With the release date for Unbreak My Heart less than a week away, I thought it was time to post the links for my book tour. It starts August 22.

I've been fortunate in managing to rope enlist the help of and borrow some space from some wonderful bloggers. I appreciate the support and I hope you will drop by to take a look at what I've worked my ass off to post posted. It wasn't a simple task, trying to figure out what and where to post without being too redundant, boring, or duplicating. Hopefully I managed to do that in at least a few of them. ;)

Being that this is the masterpost for the tour, I'd be forever grateful if you'd pass it along to a friend. I'm not trying to pimp myself out or anything - okay, yeah, maybe I am but there's prizes (does make it less pimpish? lol) Also, if you'd like to display my tour banner with this link attached, much gratitude and pretty boys will come your way. :D

Book tours scare the crap out of me, but I'm doing one anyhow.

Yeah, that's right. I'm scared of book tours or blog tours or whatever you want to call them. I've never done one to promote any of my books before, at least not anything bigger than asking a friend or two to do a give-away for me. So again, yeah…scared.

But I nevertheless, I am doing one at the end of the month for the release of Unbreak My Heart on August 25. Wow, can't believe how quickly that dates has crept up on me.

Anyhow, I'm scheduling a few blogs (probably about 9 days worth actually), and will more than likely set the whole thing up with Rafflecopter. Tentative dates at the moment are August 22-31, and I have a mixture of smaller and bigger blogs that are letting me stop by to introduce Brett and JT, and offer up a give-away.  :)

I suck at blogging....AKA, what K-lee's been up to

That just about sums it up - do some damn blogging, woman...I mean...hi, how's everyone doing?

Yeah, I've proved time and time again that I suck at blogging and updating. But here I am with just a short update about what I have coming up and out. ;)

My Cowboy Brett story that I've talked about before was accepted by Amber Quill (yah) and has an ebook release date of August 25 - with a print date sometime in September. I'm happy it will be out in time for me to take a few copies to GRL. It's about 90,000 words so that's a fair size for me - times that by two and you'll know what I've been working on for the last few months. (more about that after)

So I wanted to show off my shiny new cover by the wonderful Trace Edward Zaber. I picked out the cover model and I just love him. So let me introduce you to Cowboy Brett who now has a real title - "Unbreak My Heart" (cue singing the song from the 90's)

It's pretty, right? (you have to look down obviously) -  I have a tagline too...

"Is the love and patience of a city kid enough to breathe life back into a rancher who's living in his own world of pain--and unbreak his heart?"

I've already posted an excerpt introducing Brett (sort of) so here's one with my other main character - JT. (unedited, by the way)
