Exciting times around here! Tomorrow I hop a plane to New Orleans for the RT Booklovers Convention. Anyone who’s been there knows how crazy that convention can be. Stick it in the middle of a city known for insanity and you can just imagine the kind of week I’m in for! I hope to see some of you there. For those who can’t make it, you can follow along with the fun on Twitter at #RT2014 . Then, as if…
It’s been an exciting two weeks. First, we had the release of COWBOY HEAT. And now, after what has felt like a very long wait, it’s finally release day for THREE WEEKS WITH A BULL RIDER, Book 3 in my Oklahoma Nights series. Jace’s story has been a long time coming. We met him in Book 1, One Night with a Cowboy, where he was Tuck’s wingman the night he meets Becca. We learn a bit more about him in…
A COWBOY FOR DELILAH…AND 15 FOR YOU! I have to say, I’ve had so much fun writing stories for Delilah’s Collections. I’ve been lucky to have several now, “Saving Charlotte” in Smokin Hot Firemen, “Five Alarm Fire” in High Octane Heroes and now, “A Cowboy for Delilah” in Cowboy Heat. The inspiration for this story was, of course, Delilah. When she put out the call for this Anthology, I knew I wanted to write something because, let’s face it, Cowboys…
I’m Emma Jay and I’ve been writing for about five years, after Delilah challenged me to try my hand at some spicier writing, and I found it extremely liberating. I’ve written 17 novellas since, cowboys, firefighters and groomsmen. I’m a teacher, which means secrets. It also means lots of testing. I was thumbing through a book while the kids were testing and read about this woman who was a rancher in Texas back in the day. Her cattle were rustled…

A few years back (try decades) I went with some girlfriends on a girl’s night out at a country-western bar after a tough week at the office.

There’s nothing like a cowboy in the UK. We don’t have anything as powerfully iconic as this historic and symbolic figure from the US. So, I guess that’s what drew me to the answer the submission call; could a Brit writer take on the all American cowboy and make it work? The storm arrives with wild abandon, twisting and turning, gray fury unleashing torrential rain that blurs the horizon. “I don’t think you should drive in this weather, Candace!” my…
When I first started brainstorming ideas for a cowboy tale, a common thread kept teasing me; I loved the idea of polar opposites getting together. After all, isn’t that frequently the case in real life? I kept picturing this tan, hunk-of-a-man, totally rough around the edges in a make-no-apologies kind of way. I had a vision of a high-maintenance, boardroom diva who somehow gets plunked down in the middle of cowboy territory and is so far out of her element…
