Who says death and decay can't be beautiful? I love fall colors. It's something I share with my mom and grandma (mom's mom). Nothing is better than the fall colors on the mountains though. The picture above wasn't taken on the mountain, but still just as beautiful with the golden colors of fall started to take possession of the land.
I'm busying myself away with the FINAL Moto X book. If you're a fan of the series, you'll know it has to be Parker's book that's coming. I'll tell you this, it has to be the most difficult book I've written so far, but won't explain how it is so.
My husband is back, successful from getting an elk which I'm happy about. Now, we just need deer and our freezers will be full for the year.
That's all I have for you this week. Remember, My Bronc Riding Cowgirl (My Cowboy #6) and Blakely: A Rogue Enforcers Novella both come out on Thursday!
Have a wonderful week!

Happy Monday! I hope your weekend went well. Mine was spent going through family pictures and battling a cold I'm just now feeling better from. I also hung out with my kiddos and watched Thor: Love and Thunder as well as Minions: Rise of Gru.
Next week I have not one, but TWO books coming out on the 22nd. 
The teaser above is for My Bronc Riding Cowgirl, book #6 in the My Cowboy Series. 
~*~My Bronc Riding Cowgirl~*~The saying goes “anything you can do; I can do better.” In the case of Tori Foster, she may not do it better but she most certainly will do it.
Daughter of legendary saddle bronc rider, Justin Foster, Tori has big dreams she’s kept to herself and about to share what she’s capable of with the world. No good-looking cowboy is going to get in her way of reaching her goals and show what she’s made of.
Cord King is riding on high, top of his game for his rookie season as a saddle bronc rider. Media and female attention are plentiful until he arrives in Elk Field for their annual rodeo. Being the son of a legend as well as one in the making himself isn’t going to impress one feisty cowgirl who leaves him reeling after a verbal punch to the face. His spotlight is taken when Tori takes to the arena.
Can he overcome jealousy to see the talent Tori possesses?
Will Tori lose focus thanks to the distraction that is Cord?
Watch them compete in and out of the arena. Possibly, they could find something more than a championship buckle.

And the second book coming out on the 22nd is Blakely, my next Rogue Enforcer story! The killer bunny has a sister ... That's all I'm going to give you along with the teaser above and the blurb.
Blakely: A Rogue Enforcers Novella 
Blakely Reynolds has been saved by her sister, rescued from humans who sought to hurt her in unimaginable ways. There’s only one issue with her rescue; Briar wasn’t in time to save Blakely’s mate as well.
Now, haunted by her too short of a moment with him, Blakely is determined to find and save him before it’s too late. With her siblings by her side, Blakely is willing to push herself to her limits and dive into the field work her brother and sister typically do in order to bring him back to her.
Jagger Grimes is a protector. In the past, he sacrificed himself in order to protect his family which is what led him to being captured. It’s also where he found his mate, strapped to a table across a tent from him, Jagger found his woman only to lose her after getting only her name.
He wakes in a prison, isolated but brimming with determination to find a way out and rescue his mate. With the help of his jackalope and his abilities, Jagger manages to escape.
Can the two of them reunite? Or will an explosion separate them for all eternity?

That's it for me this week. I have a book to read through now. Have a wonderful one!

After a weekend away, I feel like I'm ready to tackle a project I keep coming back to and actually succeeding with it this time around. I don't have a whole lot to share with you. I spent time with my family in my favorite place in the world and now it's back to the heat and our regularly scheduled life.
I hope you had a great weekend filled with memories. And, as always, have a wonderful week.
x Brooke

I know the week just started, but I'm ready for Friday. This summer didn't go the way I wanted to at all with barely getting any time on the mountains and this coming weekend will hopefully help that wanderlust I have for being up there, playing and exploring with my kids even if it's only a little.
This week marks not only my kids getting back to school, but the writing season. Second drafts for next year are complete and now it's time for rough drafts! This coming month, I'm going to be gearing up for not one but two releases! I can't tell you much about one because it's under lock and key until Thursday, but a week after that one releases, My Bronc Riding Cowgirl comes out!
I know, I'm insane. You can pre-order that one from the link below.
Anyways, I better get my butt in gear. Have a wonderful week.

You guessed it, it's that time of the month again! With only a few days left in August, it's time to share what I've read. First off, can you believe the summer is already at an end? It doesn't feel like I got even half of what I wanted to do with my kids this year.  It doesn't look like I read a lot this month, but I did. Considering the Age of Vampires books are in a boxset and I'm only in the fourth book, I've really read more.
Let's get going!
First off is Say it's Forever by A.L. Jackson.

It's still too hot around here for me to do any form of baking for my liking, so I shredded two of my four giant zucchini and packaged them up to freeze until it's time to bake.
On top of all that, I'm also getting another outline done this week. I'm pretty excited about this book. It's been a long time since I wrote a fighter book ... and that's the only clue you're going to get for this future book.
This week, we're starting the process of taking our pool down in prep for school starting here real soon. Don't worry, I don't share pictures of first day of school. I have one tradition I do with pictures much to my oldest's dismay, but I only share those with family.
That's all I have for you this week. I'll be back at the end of the week with August's What Brooke Read!
Have a wonderful week!

This last weekend was spent shopping with my husband for hunting season, visiting with fellow authors, getting to know readers, and having a lot of fun ... except Sunday, that was a mess with all day spent fixing the plumbing in our bathroom.
As you can see from the picture T.M. Wikto took for me I had a lot going on at my table. The decals you can see on the left I will be posting on my shop for sale as soon as I finish this post.
I hope there will be an event next year as well because Billings is close to my home as well as a place where I have some family members residing.
Now, I'm back to work outlining the books I plan on writing once school starts. I have plans to get as many outlines plotted out as possible within the two weeks I have left with my kids.
As always, I hope you have a wonderful week.
x Brook

Last week I completely spaced doing a post. I had a book I was wanting to wrap up while going to a writer's workshop at the local library a friend was putting on and now I'm diving into outlines for the first three books I plan on writing when school starts back up as well as making sure I have everything together for the Big Sky Book Event this coming Saturday. I'm pretty excited for this event. It'll be my first one for the year and likely my only for book events only. I'm going to try to get into a few Christmas season craft shows locally though.
With summer wrapping up pretty quickly, I'm trying to do as much fun things with my kids as I can in the few weeks before they start school again. It's going to be so nice not listening to them fight anymore but I will miss them. 
That's all from me this week. As always, I hope you have a wonderful week!

Okay, it feels like I was just here doing this for June. July was busy for our family starting with a wedding and ending with a fishing trip this coming weekend. There was a case of the flu for my kids and I last week and somehow, I've managed to still get nearly three books done for next year!
Two weeks from today I'll be in Billings, Montana getting geared up for the Big Sky Book Event. If you're going, I can't wait to meet you!
All right, let's dive into my reads for July.

That's all I have for you for this month! I hope, as always, you find something interesting. I gave my first monster reverse harem a try this month and found it interesting. There's one more book to the series yet to come out, so I'll finish it but I'm not sure if it's my cup of tea.
Have a wonderful weekend.

My summer of re-writes are coming to an end in just a couple of weeks which is perfect timing seeing as the Big Sky Book Event will be happening by then. I'll have plenty of time finishing getting ready for that. I'm thinking about making some book-ish decals to sell, any fun ides I should go with?
As you can see from the picture, the next Long Claw Pride book will be coming out at some point next year. I had no clue what I was going to do when I started The Mating Call but I'm glad I made the choice I did with this series. 
After I wrap this one up, I have some massive work to do with a couple of future books I already have done and need to fix quite a few things.
My kids and I fought with the 24-hour flu this past weekend and just now starting to feel some semblance of normal. It's been a while since I've been that sick, so I'm curious how long it'll take me to spring back.
This Friday will be What Brooke Read for July. It feels like I just did it for June. Where did the month go?!?
As always, have a wonderful one.
