Holding On (Colorado High Country #6) —
The Colorado High Country series returns with Conrad and Kenzie's story.

A hero barely holding on…

Harrison Conrad returned to Scarlet Springs from Nepal, the sole survivor of a freak accident on Mt. Everest. Shattered and grieving for his friends, he vows never to climb again and retreats into a bottle of whiskey—until Kenzie Morgan shows up at his door with a tiny puppy asking for his help. He’s the last person in the world she should ask to foster this little furball. He’s barely capable of managing his own life right now, let alone caring for a helpless, adorable, fluffy puppy. But Conrad has always had a thing for Kenzie with her bright smile and sweet curves. One look into her pleading blue eyes, and he can’t say no.

The woman who won’t let him fall…

Kenzie Morgan’s life went to the dogs years ago. A successful search dog trainer and kennel owner, she gets her fill of adventure volunteering for the Rocky Mountain Search & Rescue Team. The only thing missing from her busy life is love. It’s not easy finding Mr. Right in a small mountain town, especially when she’s unwilling to date climbers. She long ago swore never again to fall for a guy who might one day leave her for a rock. When Conrad returns from a climbing trip haunted by the catastrophe that killed his best friend, Kenzie can see he’s hurting and wants to help. She just might have the perfect way to bring him back to the world of the living. But friendship quickly turns into something more—and now she’s risking her heart to heal his.

In ebook and soon in print!

Finishing touches on DEFIANT

Writer at work
Sorry if I haven’t been around a lot lately. My head is firmly in the 18th century.

I’m down to my last three days of polishing Defiant. Almost all of that will probably be spent working on the denouement and epilogue. They’re already written, but I want them to be perfect. That means adding one more scene, revising a couple of existing scenes, then working through every word to make them sing.

I turn it in on Friday, probably in the wee hours of the morning. And then I’m going to take some time for myself. I am determined to make the most of my new freedom for taking care of myself — that’s my New Year’s resolution — and for enjoying life again, something I’ve lost track of in all the craziness of working full time, being a mom and trying to write decent books.

I will be bringing you some Ranger-related fun in the coming weeks as we get closer to the release of Defiant in July, including contests, book giveaways, and interviews. And once I’m rested up and in a good and healthy routine, I’ll be working on a trailer for Defiant, a couple of I-Team related novellas and the next I-Team novel.

In the meantime, I’ll be savoring these next few days as special time finishing a series that has meant so incredibly much to me.

I hope this year brings you good health and many happy moments!

WTG Pamela!
Getting close to polishing up DEFIANT is awesome news, YAY you! Hard work, but it'll be worth it. Like one of your 'babies' I'm sure. You just can't let it go till it's all spruced up just the way you want it to be. I can't wait to get my hands on DEFIANT!!

You deserve all the rest you can get. You need to take care of yourself.
Any plans for just a 'mini' getaway? Now that would be real nice for you. :-)

Have a great day!

Hi, Laura — Thanks so much! As soon as it's in, I'm going to wish July were here. Alas, it will take some time. And thanks — I will!

Hi, Landin — Thank you! I shall certainly do my best. :-)

Hi, Lucy — No worries! I don't think I wished anyone a Merry Christmas! So... Merry Christmas! And Happy New Year! And thanks! I hope 2012 is bright for both of us.

Hi, Dalila — Thank you! It's very hard to let go of them. This one is very hard because it means saying goodbye to the Rangers, which is heartbreaking for me. I may have to start a 'zine' so I can keep writing about them. ;-)

I DO want to head up to Canada and upstate NY. And I want to visit Jill Shalvis. That's three separate trips. Plus RWA if I can make it. Also, I just want to spend a weekend at a B&B in the mountains here soon if I can. We'll see...

And thanks!
