IS IT SPRING YET??? |

In my head, I have returned to the J&L Ranch and the Harkner men (oooh-la-la!) out in the foothills of Colorados Rocky Mountains. I am currently working on a 7th story for my OUTLAW HEARTS series, titled SHADOW TRAIL. Just when Jake thinks his past will finally leave him alone, a woman from his early outlaw years shows up on the J&L Ranch and brings that past back into the lives of the Harkners. Shocking revelations involving Jake that Randy never knew about present new challenges for her and Jake and the whole family. And after Jakes near-death experience in BLAZE OF GLORY, Randy is not about to let her husband ride into danger again while she stays behind to worry and wonder if she will ever see him again. Randy makes a bold decision in SHADOW TRAIL. This time Jake will not leave her behind. She is determined to ride into hell with him! My designer is working on a cover, and, if "life" doesn't intervene, the book is currently planned for publication by Amazon in June 2023. After SHADOW TRAIL, I will work on a sequel to DANCING BENEATH YOU. And I have a brand new western I want to write called A WIND IN THE PINES. Its a very compelling love story. Of course, I still plan to write the story about Jakes grandson (also named Jake) as a full-grown (and meltingly handsome) young man. I have talked about this before, and I do intend to write the book, which will bring in one of Zeke Monroes (from Savage Destiny) granddaughters. I will finally tie these two families together. Never in a million years did I know, when I wrote the Savage Destiny books back in the eighties, that forty years later I would bring the Monroes back into my mind and heart through writing a different series. What goes around, comes around. It just took me 40 years to complete the circle..
The ideas never end! I pray every night for the health Ill need to continue writing. My goal is 80 books before I am gone from this earth. These next two will make 77, so I have a good start! I appreciate all of you so much. You are what keeps me going, so keep reading, and as long as the Good Lord allows my brain and fingers to work, I will keep writing! If you are new to my writing -- or even if you want to replace old favorites -- please see my Books in Print page for a complete list of all my books, with most recent covers, publication histories, and Amazon.com ordering links. Eventually, I want to have all of my backlist available for both new readers and long-time fans who have reread the original print versions so many times that the pages are worn out! If you prefer the convenience of e-books, check out my E-books List, where you will find ordering links for electronic versions of my books in several different e-book formats. Brand new Bittner titles are distributed through Amazon.com. But locally in Southwest Lower Michigan -- my books are available at Hardings Market and Linda's Antiques in Coloma and Back On the Rackin Watervliet! You'll find my new books there, as well as an assortment of my older titles. I am excited to have such great outlets for my work right here in and near my own hometown. (Plus, Email mefor a personalized autograph.) You can also check with your local library or book store and ask them to order any of my books youd like to read.
I'm hearing from more and more men who enjoy my books, like Chester "Chet" Cripe, a Korean War veteran who was one of my avid fans and a dear friend. Chet died in 2020, and I miss him very much. Chet was a member of the 45th Division of the Army Infantry and was Sergeant of the 4th Platoon. He served on Heartbreak Ridge, Sandbag Castle and Christmas Hill. The Outlaw Hearts series in particular were among his favorites because they are packed with action, western history, and solid family values as well as heart- felt romance. Yes, "real" men really DO enjoy reading my books! Many thanks for your continuing e-mails and notes. YOU keep me going back to the computer to write more books. Many of you tell me that reading my books got you through something physically or emotionally traumatic -- well, WRITING those books does the same thing for me! Keep reading, and I will keep writing!

A Colt .45, much like the gun my heroes use - and my own .30-.30 rifle. The Colt is surprisingly heavy and requires a strong hand and arm to draw, cock and fire in one swift movement. That would take a LOT of practice! |
"Your stories keep me up all night...I'm up in my seventies--and your books take me back in time--and I relive my life through your wonderful imagination! Thank you for being there for all of your readers." -- Zella Mae |
