Thanksgiving Is Right Around the Corner -- and So Is a New Book!

       Thanksgiving? Yes, it’s right around the corner. Seems like yesterday I was enjoying my rose garden, and now my lawn furniture is stored, my roses trimmed, the lawn is covered with fallen leaves, and I’m wondering what size turkey to buy for Thanksgiving! Father Time has become relentless. I do, however, always look forward to the holidays, and believe it or not, I look forward to the snow that will inevitably make its appearance here in Michigan any day now. When you live in a Great Lakes state, it can’t be avoided, and I like it because the brown grass and bare treesare so pretty when it is all covered with snow.

       We don’t know if we will make our annual trip to Nevada this winter to get away from the cold. The big “C-19” has given us pause for thought in traveling, but if we don’t go, we will very likely go to the mountains next summer. Meantime, since we’ll be shut in more than usual this winter, I will just keep on writing and finish BLAZE OF GLORY, my sixth Outlaw Hearts story. I am working with my designer on a cover that will say “This is outlaw/ lawman Jake Harkner, and nobody messes with him!” As soon as it is ready, I will post it here on my web site. I just know that fans are going to LOVE this powerfully emotional new story about Jake and Miranda Harkner!

        BLAZE OF GLORY will bring Jake and his “blazing guns” back in an action-filled adventure that will also show, through a highly emotional event, how much this man loves and will sacrifice for his family. I promise you won’t be able to put this book down, and you won’t ever forget it. Nor will you forget the fantastic love story of Jake and Miranda.

       Above all else, BLAZE OF GLORY will be (in my heart) the most beautiful love story about Jake and Miranda I have written, a great “last book” of a series … but maybe not the last one. I already have a story in mind for Jake’s “grown-up” grandson and namesake – young Jake – and it will involve a granddaughter of – none other than – ZEKE MONROE, from my SAVAGE DESTINY series!

    Outlaw Hearts series   

       I am also enjoying the release of Book #71, LAWMAN IN THE HIGH LONESOME, available from Amazon.com, and looking forward to the next book in the series, JOURNEY TO HIGH LONESOME, coming on the 23rd of November. As many of you already know, each book in the "Men of the Outlaw Trail" series is a single title with a new hero and heroine, and each story touches briefly on other characters I've written about who "visited" the Outlaw Trail! Sometime in the future, I plan two more books to round out the High Lonesome series.

       For more details about the first three books, please click on the links below:

    RIDE THE HIGH LONESOME   

   LAWMAN IN THE HIGH LONESOME      JOURNEY TO HIGH LONESOME   

       Next spring and summer will bring reissues of ARIZONA BRIDE and ARIZONA ECSTASY, with new covers – from Amazon! After that, it’s on to a WW II story, as well as my first contemporary Native American romance

       In light of all of the rapid changes we are seeing right now in our country and our world, I want to assure you that the “Bittner” voice and style will NOT change. In that respect, I will always write about other cultures with truth and honor based on deep research, showing inclusiveness and diversity. Most of all, I always aim for a great, lasting love story that will live in your minds and hearts for many weeks, months, even years after you have finished a Rosanne Bittner book!

       I would like to repeat how thankful I am for all my readers -- and for those who give my books as gifts! You keep me going to the computer to write more books, and there are days when my writing sustains me through personal problems and aches and pains. My readers often mention how my books got them through something physically or emotionally traumatic for them, but WRITING those books does the same thing for me. Keep reading and 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 Wal-Mart, Barnes & Noble and 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 Rack in 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 me and we can get together for a personalized autograph.) You can also check with your local library or book store and ask them to order any of my books you’d like to read.

       I'm hearing from more and more men who enjoy my books, like Chester "Chet" Cripe, my friend and a faithful long-time reader. 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 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 -- and if you don't believe it, ask this Korean War Veteran!

       And if you want a print book personalized for yourself or before you “gift” it, just e-mail me privately at rosannebittner17@outlook.com for mailing information, and I will pay the postage to send the signed books back to you! Or, if you prefer, I can autograph a label for you to stick into your book.

        I still have several extra copies of some OLDER BOOKS that are no longer available -- including many of my Foreign Titles! Many of these books have been previously read, but some are brand-new. You can order these older titles, as well as my recently reissued books, directly from me and I will sign them for you -- or for a friend who loves a good read. Please Email me if you're looking for a specific book!

       Many thanks for your continuing e-mails and notes. They have certainly brightened my inbox. So many of you are telling me which of my books you have read and loved, and why they are your favorites -- and are looking forward to reading my upcoming new books. I have been sharing many of your messages with all of my readers via my Guestbook page!

Rosanne

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!
