Somedays things just come together.
I got an automatic email from Sony today letting me know that new titles were available for an author I was watching. Last Christmas I bought a Christmas anthology - A Bride by Christmas with a Western romance written by Candace Camp. I loved it and have been wanting to read more of the same since then.
But it's really really hard to find. This author published under a different name and the back list is just now starting to come available. But I still don't know what's good from what's bad.
The second email I got was my reading list from Feedblitz. KristiJ from Ramblings on Romance had a post on Westerns and how they need a little love and attention.
And there were recs! I love recs, especially ones that are out of print but available as e-books.
Because that's the beauty of e-books.
The backlist is forever available.
Harlequin gets that. Others are starting, but it's slow going.
So, except for that one short story and a (unfortunate) paranormal, I have nothing to add to the Western love. Yet. But thanks to the Great Western Drive I'll have lots of recs to choose from.
I'm glad you got so many recommendations!! That's the thing when starting a fairly new genre - how does one tell the good ones from the stinkers. Between Sybil, Wendy and I we listed our favourites and hope that some 'call out' to readers.
