Jacquie's Amazing Author Event

Welcome
to my day on the
Amazing Author Event blog tour

You've seen some terrific books so far (you can see all the participating authors at the end of this article) with more to go, and an opportunity to win one of several ebooks we'll be giving away at the end. All you need to do is follow the link daily for the duration of the event (12 authors), and at the end, you'll be asked a few questions based on all the authors' blogs.

Hey, and you can fill that new e-reader with books!

I'm talking about my newest release, the second book in the Much Ado series, which will be released February 1:
Much Ado About Madams
Rancher Reese McAdams inherited the Comfort Palace, a house of ill-repute, from his ne'er-do-well father and is committed to taking care of the well-worn ladies as best he can. He can’t sell the house because another owner would probably turn the ladies out.

But the whores want to leave the oldest profession, so they hire a schoolmarm for a dual purpose—one is to educate them in preparation for “respectable” life, and the second is to marry Reese so he’ll want to sell the whorehouse. That way they won’t feel bad about leaving him.

Reese won’t tell the ladies that he wants to sell the whorehouse because he wants them to have a safe place to live, and the whores won’t tell him they want to leave because he’s the nicest brothel owner ever, and they don’t want to hurt his feelings.

Will the whores successfully hook up Reese and the schoolmarm, Lucinda? Will Lucinda be able to educate the ladies under the unsuspecting Reese's nose? Can Reese resist the charming and energetic schoolmarm?

Now keep this in mind as you get to the end of the contest which winds up at Ginger Simpson's blog—Much Ado books are all set in Owyhee County, Idaho Territory.

Much Ado About Marshals (July 2011): Oreana
Much Ado About Madams (February 2012): Dickshooter
Much Ado About Mavericks (June 2012): Henderson Flats

For a chance to win an eARC of Much Ado About Madams, leave a comment. Please include your email address or I'll have to draw another winner.  Please note: the eARC won't be ready for another week--this is new, New, NEW!  For a chance to win more books, including Much Ado About Marshals (the first book in the Much Ado series), continue playing and at the end, there will be a bunch of prizes.

      When I start out writing westerns, I realized that we come from a place rich in history and very unutilized. It's great fun digging up fun little tidbits about Owyhee County. :)

    This book reminds me of a comedy done by Jimmy Stewart in the 70's called the The Cheyenne Social Club..
    He interhits a brothel by the same name.. It also started Henry Fonda and Shirly Jones as the Madame...
    I can't wait to read your take on this story...I am sure it will be a little bit more romantic, than comedic..

      Kathleen, I love that movie! I hadn't ever seen it until I was about 3/4 into writing Much Ado About Madams, but Mr R thoought I should see it. Hilarious. My favorite quote (from memory) when the madam is taking off Harvey's boots and he put the other foot on her bum to "help" out: "You don't care what you put your foot on, do ya, Harvey?" Cracked me up.

      Thanks for stopping by, Linda. Looking at life through rose-colored glasses is a favorite pastime of mine so I do incorporate that in my books.

      Melissa, the Comfort Palace is definitely interesting. We have six whores, a cook, and a schoolmarm. :)

    Your story sounds like it would make a great movie, Jacquie! I look forward to one day seeing your name in lights. I have a feeling Reese and Lucinda strike a lot of sparks off each other.

      I see stories in my head just like movies so having it made for the big screen would be a blast. Not very likely, but in my dreams! LOL.

      In my mind, Marshals was funnier, but Madams is deeper characterization, especially in the last half. It still has lots of humor, though.
