This has been an exciting and hectic year for me writing-wise.
Re-releasing older books and now a new one. I’m at 8 books releasing this year. Crazy and fun.
The new one is book #2 in the Rocky Mountain Marshals Series.
I do NOT have my author’s copies yet but soon. So maybe I’ll get them in time so you get YOUR copy (if you win) before the book releases.
When a mysterious threat follows their every step, can two wounded hearts find refuge and love?
US Marshal Morgan Sawyer rides into the treacherous Rocky Mountains on a mission to find fellow Marshal Tex, who vanished while they were escorting a dangerous prisoner. But ranchwoman Roz Beck insists on riding beside him, despite Morgan’s protests. Joined by newlyweds Owen and Delaney, and Roz’s young son, they push deep into the wilderness.
Widowed Roz was wounded in love when her now-deceased husband abandoned her, leaving her alone to raise a child. While her heart longs for love, for her son’s sake, she’ll settle for a man she trusts like Morgan, her childhood friend. When a shadowy figure begins prowling the search party’s camp at night, the group realizes that something more than the wilderness poses a threat to their quest of bringing Tex to safety. Will the looming danger strengthen Morgan and Roz’s growing feelings and faith in each other, or will it be their breaking point?
With outlaws, a rugged hero, and a spirited heroine, Mary Connealy presents another action-packed Old West historical romance. For fans of second chance romance, frontier journeys, and hi-jinks in the Colorado wilderness.
It’s coming October 6…so very soon.
I LOVE that cover with the cowboy on the horse. I don’t think I’ve had many horses on my covers. It seems so obvious, and yet…not many. Look at the trees in the back ground. it’s autumn in the Rockies and it’s autumn (all most) here. I’ve seen the first signs of trees changing color and the first semi-cool nights after a long, hot summer.
So does anyone have a comment about all the re-releases? Have you forgotten there is still new work? I love having these books gain new life, but I don’t like doing anything that detracts from the new books. What do you think? Are you overloaded with Mary Connealy books? Or do you read a new book a month by authors you love no problem?
Let me know.
Leave a comment about books that come fast, to get your name in the drawing for a signed copy of The Hearts Most Wanted.
‘Fraid I’m an author’s worst nightmare, Mary. I borrow most of my books from the public library and purchase very few. I’m fine with re-releases if I’ve not read them already. I don’t usually read books again.
Thanks for running the giveaway; print books are the absolute best prizes.
Mary. I’m a big library girl myself and I LOVE librarys. NEVER APOLOGIZE. I love libraries.
Happy Book Release!
I love to read.
I was glad when the new releases came out because I know I had not read all of them when they were first published. Always look forward to new books also.
I don’t mind re-releases. Sometimes I may miss a miss a book when it first releases. I always look forward to new books.
It sounds like a really interesting book.
I read a lot of ARCs – so rarely reread any books!
I have over 40 Mary Connealy books displayed in my living room bookshelves. I have reread half of them and have been waiting for The Heart’s Most Wanted for over half a year. Can’t wait!
THANK YOU!!!! That’s a nice collection!
If it’s a book I bought a long time ago, I do get confused when a book is reissued later with a new cover because I may forget I had that book or it’s not shelved properly and I end up buying the same book twice, or even more times. I don’t have my books in all one place like I need to. I also need a system for keeping up with them. It’s safe to say I don’t think I have this book, nor have I read it.
I’m not a huge fan of re-releases, just for the fact that, most of the time, I prefer the original cover. And if there is bonus material added to the new book, I feel like I need to buy it, but I don’t always have the money, so I feel like I’m missing out.
I’m loving all the releases! It’s made waiting for The Heart’s Most Wanted easier, I think. I’ve been getting the audiobook versions of the rereleases and it’s been fun to revisit some books I’ve already enjoyed and experience some for the first time.
I’m a big re-readers, Christy. I go to the library a LOT but I also have a collection of favorites…way too big of a collection. Someone needs to pry them out of my hands while there’s still space in my house!
I love your books. I don’t think the new ones come fast enough ?. I didn’t get any of the books you re-released because I already have them, but for those that don’t, they are in for a real treat. They have some of my favorite characters you have wrote about.
Deb, it’s been really fun to re-visit them.
It’s been so long since the original books that I don’t remember much of them so it’s new all over again! This is a problem of being ancient and reading a lot!
I love to read, and I also love to collect signed paperback books. I have found a lot of new authors to enjoy.
I like re issues because I often have not read the book when it first came out.
This book sounds really good
The re-releases alert me to books that may have been published before I was introduced to the author. Once I find an author I love, I like being alerted to the books I might have missed by that author.
I like being reminded of books by an author republishing them. I enjoy re-reading my favorites.
If I really enjoyed the book I will reread it. I think I may have reread your book The Husband Tree, and a few other books that I really liked because sometimes I forget how they end but it comes back to me while reading. So I don’t mind a re-release at all.
Ah, The Husband Tree…that one was fun. I reread it, and all these older books, once in a while.
I enjoy re-reading books that I love as it seems I often find things that I may have missed the first time reading it, so I enjoy when authors re-release books. I find that books can be enjoyed over and over again. I really like the cover of the new book – I think the horse creates an image of the Marshal and the setting that invites the reader in to the story.
I love the new covers. I am not overwhelmed by the releases. I enjoy when new books are given new life with a new cover. You have done a fabulous job of letting fans know which books are being released with new covers as well as the new releases. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
I read on my Kindle. I used to get books at the Library but now most everything is available on Kindle. My nieces don’t want to have to dispose of my personal library when I’m gone! Rereleases are great but I wish somewhere in the narrative it would say what/when the original date was. (Some authors even change titles!) I hate to get to the second chapter and realize I’ve already completed the book and know what is happening next.
I’m on my 10th book of the month! Some were books from my TBR stack that’s out of control, and some were ones that will be releasing soon as they’re ARCs. I pre-order a few, and some I order after reading one in a series. Re-releases are tricky for me, to be honest. I’ve read all of the ones you re-released, my church library still has the original releases!
If I love an author and the way they write, I can read one book after another of theirs. I love all your books that I have read. Thanks for all your hard work.
I love your books , to be honest I haven’t read any of your books till Petticoats and Cowboys came out and I’m hooked !! I’m actually reading book 6 now about Abby and Wade , so glad they’re finally having their story. I’m definitely going to be reading your new series and any future books as you have a new fan for sure!!
I love to read. I read printed books only. I haven’t read your books yet, but they are on my TBR list. I go to the library to get books, too. I get books from authors, Amazon, and other stores online as well as bookstores.
I like to see books get a make over.
I don’t reread a lot of books. They have to really grip me for a second read.
I Love reading print books and this one is going on my TBR list have a Blessed Day!
I’m so happy that you re-released your Petticoats Ranch etc. They are my absolute favorite and I reread them every couple of years so I’m super happy they are Kindle unlimited right now. I did get one of your new ones at the bookstore last year. I think it was this series so now I have to decide how I’m going to read #2!
I reread book all the time.
Good Thursday Afternoon Mary,
Thank you for publishing and republishing multiple books in a year! I love reading books by favorite authors!
Thank you,
Julie Bullock
I just love those covers!
If I read a re-release book, it’s usually because I didn’t read it when it was first released. I didn’t find your books until a few years ago. I’ve read all of them since then, but I haven’t had the time to go back and read your earlier ones. I read a lot of ARCs for my favorite authors (like you, Mary!), so I sometimes don’t get to all the back list ones. Too many books, too little time!
Hi Mary , Congratulations on your upcoming book release! It sounds like a great book and I love the cover! All your covers are really nice!! I dont mind re releases at all. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a great weekend.
don’t mind re-releases
Mary Connealy is a new author for me so would love to read her books
I might have missed it the first time around, so the release would be a wonderful reminder!
You are a new author to me. Your books look very interesting to me
I love your books and am excited about the rereleases. It means others can now discover jewels they missed and I might be able to replace a book or two that I have completely worn out. I enjoy visiting old friends (books), but I also love when I can meet a new friend. Even better when that friend comes fast ?
