The Wanderer on the coming soon page

I saw today that my historical western The Wanderer is on the coming soon page at LI here so I updated my website with a page for the book and a brand new excerpt. Also updated the coming soon page. You can see that on http://janirvingwrites.com/

I'm happy Christine Griffin will be doing the cover art. Can't wait to see it.

This week's sale

This week's sale, which I think is the last one this summer is for contemporary and romantic suspense titles so Wylde, Born to be Wylde (just out) and Sylvan are all on sale here .

Whew, just finished a very intense chapter of Jesse, my upcoming contemporary western. It's longer than Luke and Sylvan, but kind of like those stories. Maybe I'll post an excerpt sometime soon.
