THE RANCHER'S HEART, Bk 2 Irish Western Series Available Today by C.H. Admirand

I have always loved the characters that still live and breathe in my Irish Western Series. I have been dabbling in the self-publishing industry by re-releasing these titles now that I have most of the rights back. 

As of right now, I'm waiting for the rights to the 4th book in the series...should have them back in another month or so.

BUT until then...here is the second installment in my series...James Ryan's story. I'll admit to falling in love with the tall, black-haired Irishman...he reminds me of someone else that I love dearly! My darling, you know who you are...

Here is the link to TRH at Amazon and the series on my website, which is a work-in-progress.  :)

A HUGE THANK YOU!!! goes out to P and N Graphics, LLC for their fabulous cover design....and the Logo for my Irish Westerns...LOVE IT!!!

I cannot wait to see the next two covers :)

Happy Reading!!!

The Marshal's Destiny still holding strong in Amazon Kindle's top 10 Romance Westerns by C.H. Admirand

This has been a wild ride for me. First for getting the rights back to my Irish Western Series, finding the perfect cover designers - P and N Graphics, LLC, and then freshening up the stories. The more one writes, the better one's writing becomes. :)

BUT, the coolest part about releasing the first book in my series for the first time in e-book and trade paperback is that it hit the top ten at Amazon on April 24th and is holding it's own. The highest THE MARSHAL'S DESTINY reached was #6, and so far today it's at #9. I can't complain. :)

 

Today when I checked to see how TMD was doing (a bad habit I've developed since late April ) I noticed that Amazon has grouped my Irish Western Series, so it is easy to find. At the moment they have the original hardcovers up there, but as I release them in e-book and trade paperback, I'm sure the new covers will catch up.

Soooo a big thank you to Amazon for noticing that I've been in the top ten for three weeks and helping readers find my Irish Westerns :)  

Romance Readers are dedicated and wonderful! Without them, where would I be? 

I'm in the process of editing the second book in my historical western romance series, THE RANCHER'S HEART - a final cover is being finalized even as we speak. :)

Watch for the release of book 2, mid-May or by the end of the month.

Until then...

Happy Reading!

New Website Design by C.H. Admirand

A HUGE thank you to Joanna Shupe for giving a fantastic workshop and hands-on during the NJRW Meeting yesterday. 

I learned so many details that I applied to my current website (at wordpress) and that I will need to apply to my blog. As I told her yesterday, she is AWESOME!!!

BUT, the other cool thing I learned yesterday was from Michele Mannon who gave me the hot tip to try wix.com for website building.

I'll admit it was pretty intense around here last night when I got home. I logged on to my computer as soon as I fed the puppy and made coffee, then updated all the changes, I'd learned about from Joanne for my current website. But then started thinking about giving the wix thing a try. :)

OK...so I stayed glued to the computer working from 5pm until 11:30 last night...then got up again at 5:30 [our youngest son is taking day 3 of his motorcycle safety course--yep totally my idea made his older brother take the course too.] :)

Where was I? Oh yeah, up at 5:30 logged on again and finally, FINALLY, finished about a half hour ago. It took awhile to figure out the domain stuff, pointing subdomain, and DNS stuff. NOT my thing. LOL! 

Then I just had to post it to FB and twitter and then blog about it, because I couldn't have done it without my FAB author friends at NJRW . :)

WOW...I love the template and background I found to use for my website :) It's streamlined, efficient, and has all of the info readers are looking for.

Soooo from now on, I'll have pics and recipes posted to my blog and might have two blogs running for the next little while until I can decide which I want to use for what. Decisions....decisions! LOL!

Here's the temporary link until the domain servers are finished updating the new subdomain stuff

CHA's new website!

Again I could not have accomplished any of this without the help of my fellow NJRW authors. Sooo Joanna and Michele THANK YOU...you ladies TOTALLY ROCK.

To catch up with what Joanna [Golden Heart Finalist for DRAWN TO THE EARL] and Michele [NO HOLDS BARRED coming from Carina Press in the fall] are up to, check out their blog The Violet Femmes

Chasing Chickens and Riding on Trains by C.H. Admirand

You're only young once--so live it up! As a toddler you can run chanting "chickies" and "bwak-bwak" at the top of your lungs and not one single person will blink--well except for the other adorable little toddler watching from the safety of her mother's arms while my darling grandson ran toward the chicken wire with arms spread wide, face glowing, gleefully laughing.

It was a picture perfect day yesterday. Hoping to take our daughter's mind off the fact that she is currently without a car while my DH fixes it, I suggested a trip to Pennings Orchard and Farm Market in Warwick, NY. They used to have chickens, sheep and goats, but this year they only had chickens. But what a cacophony of sound they all made...much to the delight of Jack and little Sophia. :)

 

One of Jack's favorite shows is Thomas the Train--when he saw the wooden train just waiting for him to climb aboard, well, he was just in pig heaven. I snapped pics while his momma helped him climb up and down off the train--in between running back to the fence chanting hoping his momma had just one more quarter to get a handful of feed to toss to his feathered friends.

But I think the best part for us all was the old fashioned custard--a swirl of vanilla and chocolate...a wonderful day to remember always :)

The Marshal's Destiny - Revised & Re-Released by C.H. Admirand

I'm so excited to have finally received the rights back to my first book! For various reasons, it took 3 years longer than it should have--that being said, once I received them back, I was ready to roll...or so I thought.

The file I'd been saving from computer to computer (for the last 13 years) was a "galley" file. A galley that I'd made from one of the early versions of the story--not the final version of the story that I'd sent to Avalon. 

OMG! What to do? Did I mention that my Purcell Ancestors' Family Motto is: Aut Vincam, Aut Periam? Translation: I will either conquer or perish! Soooo I did what any insane person would do-- grabbed my copy of the book and started typing it into a word file!

My darling hubby was so impressed by the fact that I was moving full steam ahead--and d*mn the torpedos being fired my way--that he typed a whole chapter for me! My hero *sigh*

THE MARSHAL'S DESTINY is available in e-book for just $0.99! TMD e-bk version and the paperback will be $4.99 at CreateSpace as soon as I double-check the print proof I received yesterday -- I know, such a great bargain, right? :)

P and N Graphics, LLC designed the cover for me--and the logo. Aren't they fabulous?

BUT even better? P and N Graphics is designing the covers for the entire series - 4 books in all! I'm supposed to be writing my Frontier Romance, but am now distracted by the cover P and N just sent for book 2 - THE RANCHER'S HEART....which is next up to edit and revise for re-release :) The books were originally released in hardcover and I'm thrilled to have them released in e-book and paperback format!

Here's the tentative Release Schedule for my Irish Western Series:

• April ~ THE MARSHAL'S DESTINY, Book 1
• June ~  THE RANCHER'S HEART, Book 2
• August ~ PEARL'S REDEMPTION, Book 3
• October ~ A GIFT FROM HOME, Book 4

So wonderful to have such a dilemma, isn't it?

Sooo, I'm off to pick up Pansies for our yard--what is Spring without Pansies on your front steps to smile at you--when our daughter was little she used to call them face flowers. So here's a pic from last year until I come home with this year's Pansies :)

Happy Reading!
