THE COWBOY’S BABY
The Cowboy’s Baby isn’t the first book I wrote. It is the first book I published. It continues to be the book that sells the most and keeps on selling. The sequel The Cowboy’s Baby Goes To Heaven is probably a much better book, but it’s the original everyone goes for.
Is it the cover?
The title?
I’ll tell you a story. I wrote this fairy tale-related romantic comedy completely from the title on out. I started with the concept of “cowboy” and ended several years later when I finally got my mind wrapped around the quirky concept I came up with for the “baby” part. What fairy tale, you ask? Sleeping Beauty.
Not the same old baby! One reader reviewing the book said that about it. She’s right. There are numerous other romance novels with the same title, and I’ll bet you none of them has a baby like this one.
The cover is a collaboration between Streetlight Graphics and my sister Roxanne and myself. We made the suggestions, Streetlight Graphics made it come true.

WHAT I READ THIS WEEK: Peril by Thomas H. Cook. Starbase Human by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. One Lonely Night by Mickey Spillane.
Wonderful write up. It’s always fun to hear a little about the behind the scenes and whys of writing a book. Baby is a GREAT character.
