Andi’s Story

Available for Preorder HERE

An all-new series from the author of My Cowboy Promises hits sultry notes as a woman shakes the dust off her small-town life.

An impulsive decision as a teenager forced Andi Chandler to put her dream of being a Nashville star on hold. Motherhood and a marriage of convenience have tied her down to the small town of Bitterroot, Texas. But now that her son is older and her husband is living life out of the closet, Andi’s ready to spread her wings and take another shot at the country music scene. Men, however, are a different story…

Malcolm never intended to catch Andi’s eye all those years ago at the rodeo. There were a million reasons it wouldn’t work—the age difference for one. He knew he should have stopped Andi from making a rash decision, but he didn’t and has lived with the shame ever since. Now that she’s a grown woman they can finally explore all those unanswered what-ifs—and just maybe, have a shot at a second chance at happiness.

The exception seems to be Inkterra, who gives results for My Cowboy Homecoming.

Blurb:

The author of My Cowboy Promises and My Cowboy Homecoming returns once again to the Rocking C Ranch…

After doing time, Skyler is used to fighting for everything he wants, and what he wants most is a job at the Rocking C. But Sky’s boss Sterling Chandler is a vocal homophobe and his men don’t necessarily trust an ex-con. Sky plans to mind his own business and put his past behind him; hopefully, the men he works with will do the same. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t like a friend—especially one like shy giant Rock Evans.

But Rock has health problems, which come with expensive bills, and a hyper-protective family that won’t hesitate to intervene if Sky gets too close. He can either fall in line with his family’s beliefs, or lose what little independence he has. Both Rock and Skyler are about to learn that there’s more than one kind of prison in My Cowboy Freedom…

INCLUDES A PREVIEW OF THE NEXT NOVELS BY Z. A. MAXFIELD!

Drawn Together is back!

June 22, 2016 by Z.A. Maxfield

One of the stories that started it all, Drawn Together is back in ebook format. I loved the old cover so much I asked P.L. Nunn, the artist who did the original cover, to do a slightly modified version of the same cover for the re-release. It’s similar but not the same and I love the colors so much!

For anyone who isn’t familiar with Drawn Together, it’s a road trip story full of humor and chance meetings and danger. It features an ordinary hero, his big crush, and his chance to prove that faithful knights sometimes get it right.

Just to be doubly clear, this is the same book, so if you’ve read it, tell a friend!

Available exclusively at Amazon for now, Look for it here!

New. Unfettered. Unabridged.

May 20, 2016 by Z.A. Maxfield

I have been sitting on this news since RT. Waiting to announce it.

Sparky and Officer Helmet

The Audiobook.

The narrator, Tobias Silversmith, also narrated Vanessa North’s Blueberry Boys, and Anne Tenino’s Too Stupid To Live. They’ll be recording Hell On Wheels for me in the future.

For years, I’ve dreaded putting this book in Audio. I wanted a younger, California-sounding narrator. I wanted someone with decent comic timing. I wanted someone who feels the rhythm of my words. And there are always cash flow issues. I mean, I originally wanted Ryan Reynolds for the role, but he was busy with that Deadpool project.

And to put a cherry on top of that, I positively HATE, HATE, HATE hearing my own work read out loud by anyone but me. (‘Cause I’m a control freak.)

So this wasn’t an easy task. I’d never even heard of Dark Night Sound until they read for Hell On Wheels. But as soon as I heart that reading, I couldn’t get Tobias out of my mind. I told Amelia Vaughn from Riptide, (who is the most awesome person ON EARTH) that I thought Tobias was absolutely perfect for Crossing Borders, and she agreed.

So, with regard to my little control freak problem, we created a new side job for Amelia. Audiobook Midwife!!! Fellow authors, I seriously cannot be the only person who feels this way. Who can scrape together the cash but dreads the process of creating audiobooks. Hit me up via email, and I will share the magnificent Amelia’s email address, so she might be able to help you too.

Thanks to Amelia, Crossing Borders was produced without me getting bogged down in minutiae, or tearing off my ears and shoving them down the in-sink-erator. And I still had time to write My Cowboy Freedom. (Which is available for pre-order and is coming soon. November, I think.)

To check Crossing’s sample out, simply click on Tristan. You’ll find it on the Amazon page.

See what you think. This is the book that started everything.
