This month the second book in my Cartwright Siblings series has been released by Harlequin. A Cowboy's Promise *Men Made in America* is Matt Cartwright's story. I try to do a blog tour the month my book comes out as one method of promotion. Until I worked on my post for the Pink Heart Society I believed blogs were an inexpensive way to get the word out about a book. Oh, boy was I wrong!
My blog for Pink Heart is of course about cowboys! And I did a heck of a lot of painstaking research searching for photos of cowboys to use in the blog. Well, I ended up downloading a virus…I was looking for an example of a "Calendar Cowboy". Yeah, I should have known better, but man o' man there were some sweet photos of calendar cowboys on several different sites. My computer crashed. In the end I paid $129 for a service to rid my computer of the virus. I also purchased a better anti-virus product than the one I had.
This Saturday April 18th stop by http://www.pinkheartsociety.blogspot.com/ If the Cowboy is one of your favorite heroes you won’t want to miss "The Most Expensive Blog I've Ever Written" where I introduce you to Cowboys from all walks of life.
On Friday April 24th at the http://petitfoursandhottamales.blogspot.com/ I'll discuss what I miss about being an "Unpubbed" Writer. Embrace and rejoice in your unpubbed status while it lasts because once you enter the world of a published author--nothing is ever the same.
And this past Tuesday April 14th at Jennifer's Random Musings, Matt Cartwright, the hero in A Cowboy's Promise completed sentences like "I am… I dream…. I need… So if you want to know what Matt dreams about, what he thinks, even what he dances to click here http://tiny.cc/Cowboy407 .
Post a comment at the blogs--including this one--and you'll have a chance to win a copy of A Cowboy's Promise!
Here's hoping you don't run into any sexy, brooding Cowboys that carry viruses!

What is it about cowboys! They are still up there as my favorites!
Oh, the internet. Cannot function without it, but it has the ability to devastate your work. Scary!
Sorry to hear about your computer woes, Marin, and that it cost so much to fix it. Does it help to hear that A COWBOY'S PROMISE has a gorgeous, all-about-the-cowboy cover?
For some intriguing cowboy photos, you and your readers could check out The Daily Coyote and scroll down to The Cowboy Calendar. I love the element of mystery in these photos. This woman is an amazing photographer. No surprise that this calendar is sold out ;)
Marin sorry to hear your computer crashed . I will be glad when your book called A Cowboy's Promise is in stores in this area.
Sara, Gillian & Emma, thanks for leaving a comment! Darn computers--but you can't live without them these days.
Lee, had I found that calendar site first I'd probably have saved myself a bundle--great pictures!

Computers sure can be a real pain in the neck.

LOL- I'm always cautious when I search the internet. But there are some great cowboy visuals out there!
Can't wait to read A Cowboy's Promise.

Thanks ladies for stopping by. Yeah, those cowboys sure can get a girl in trouble. I hope you all enjoy Matt's story!

Give me a cowboy any time with a cowboy hat, boots, lariat, horse, wide open range, brandings, cattle drives, rodeos, trail rides... oh la la.
Ugh, that's awful about the virus. I just don't understand why people develop these things.
I LOVE cowboy stories -- always have, always will.
Marin,
What a wonderful post on cowboys, and you know I love cowboys.
