Have Laptop Will Travel…
Laptops are my favorite writing tool. If I were to put a sticker on my
laptop from each of the many destination sites it has been, the poor thing
would be covered. I love that I can take my laptop and write anywhere. My
favorite place to write (and where I’m writing tonight) is my bed. The
king-sized bed has room enough for me to layback and type while my two doggies
curl up at my feet. They are always around when I’m writing and keep me
company. Even hubby likes to curl up with a book in bed while I write.
My laptop has allowed me to write on my honeymoon in Vegas, in the
camper near the Michigan city of Cheboygan, where I enjoyed watching the ducks
on the water and to my own living room couch. The only necessity is that I have
Internet. So sometimes, I’m hanging out in a parking lot of the nearest library
while I read and answer emails or post information on my blog. When I don’t
have Internet…watch out! My darling hubby will tell you, I’m not the nicest
person then!
Recently, I decided to stop teaching full time so that I would have
more time for writing and the other work I do (publishing, radio movie
reviews). I was finding that the downside of “have laptop will travel” is that
I was grading papers during a family dinner at a restaurant, typing away during
Hors d'oeuvres at my in-laws’ house and using every minute of my lunch to post
and comment on blogs. There wasn’t time for my family or even myself.
Thankfully, I’ve found a way to balance my time on the computer.
Do you also use your phone or computer all the time? How do you step
away from your computer to allow for time with family and friends?

Marry Me Again, Cowboy by
Allison Merritt
An unlikely match made in Texas...
Greer Daily is happy running the ranch she inherited from her father
until a resort opens up next door and unruly guests terrorize her livestock and
destroy her fences. After she confronts two of them and the situation gets
sticky, she finds herself venting her fury on sexy resort owner Guy Carter. But
the smooth-talking cowboy isn't getting out of this mess easily. She wants
reparations for her trouble.
Guy's first initial meeting with Greer could've gone better, but he
hopes to placate her fiery temper by making amends for the fences. When a judge
calls them out for being irresponsible and self-absorbed, then orders them to
marry, Guy's whole world is upended. Their choices: Six months of marriage or a
month of jail time. How bad can a few months with the queen of the cattle range
be? Heaven if he can get her to bend, hell if she maintains her starchier than
pressed jeans attitude.
Just as something deeper than friendship blossoms between them, Guy's
personal assistant throws a wrench into the marriage of inconvenience. If Greer
and Guy can't overcome that particular pothole, they have more to lose than
their freedom--a lifetime of love.
Cowboy Apocalypse by Leslie
Garcia
Can a former Marine and a
Hollywood diva facing apocalyptic changes in their lives salvage new beginnings
together?
When Stone Winters joined the Marines, he always meant to come home. A
woman’s impossible dream kept him away so long that he doesn’t think there’s
anything left—especially not when he meets Price Adams, a film star with another
impossible dream. He just doesn’t think he’s up for that again.
Price Adams traded in a childhood on her grandparents’ ranch for
Hollywood glitz in spite of being a teenage mother. Torn between the stardom
she won and full-time custody of her daughter, she accepts one last role—in Cowboy Apocalypse, an inane movie about
zombies being filmed on ranches around deep south Texas. Burned by men more
times than she can remember, Price doesn’t want a man in her life—especially
not one who looks down on her career and the courage she needs to let it all
go.
Rock-n-Roll Cowboy by Autumn
Piper
Never judge a rock band by its
cover song.
A cowboy leading a rock band? Logan gets an earful from his dad every
time he leaves the house to perform. His rock persona destroys his ranching
cred with the old-timers, and sticking to the cowboy life instead of running
off to Hollywood cost him his girlfriend. Yet, he dreams of success in both
worlds, and he’s determined to find a way.
Melody agrees to run a publicity campaign for a local rock band, fully
immune to the sexy lead singer’s magnetism—she had childhood experience with a
rocker’s absences. Still, Logan is charming, and vulnerable. And persistent…
Logan can tell Melody’s PR plan is his passport to popularity. He has to
keep his hands off her, or he just might blow his one shot at making it big.
A Cowboy's Princess by Sara
Walter Ellwood
Oil and water don't mix...neither
does Texas oil royalty and an ex-Navy SEAL turned rodeo cowboy until danger
forces them together.
All retired Navy SEAL turned rodeo cowboy Justin Tanner wants is to get
to his next rodeo when a vision in a pair of tight fitting jeans walks up to
him and hands him his deepest desire on a silver platter—the deed to his
father’s ranch, land her grandfather had swindled him out of.
Lacey Mackenzie is true Texas oil royalty, but when her grandfather dies
and leaves her the keys to the kingdom, she finds herself with more enemies
than friends and only Justin’s name as the one who can protect her, but can he
after she discovers only the oil under his promised ranch can save her company.
When her enemies attack, he’s duty bound to save her, but can he give her the
one thing she wants after a hot night of passion—his heart?
Ride, Cowboy, Ride by D’Ann
Lindun
Can they find freedom together?
A locked up heart.
After imprisoned in a federal penitentiary for ten years over a woman's
betrayal, the last thing Lyle Landry is looking for is love. A quick
tumble? Sure. A cold beer? Absolutely. And then he's on
to the rodeo circuit to reclaim his title.
Broke, busted and blue.
After her ex-husband leaves her high, dry and dead broke, another man
isn’t high on Sarah Reed’s list. Especially a sexy ex-con who makes it
perfectly clear he’s not interested in more than a one night stand. But his
determination to make something out of himself impresses her more than she
wants to admit, and she falls hard for the cowboy.
