Read the INSIDER back story on this book:

 Hey, reader friends. Have you ever been through a break-up? Did it leave you questioning “Was it me?” “Was it them?” 

When my long-time publisher and I parted ways, a part of me was certain the reason we broke up was because I wasn’t good enough. (Even though my 26 books with them had been very successful.) 

My inner creative huddled in a dark place and refused to engage until I agreed to try something completely different. I set my internal editor on mute and listened to a new voice in my head. Her name, I learned, was Judy Banger. She was pushing 60, chubby, divorced, living in a double-wide, asking herself “Is this all I get? Ever?” 

Neither of us could accept that. And so a new story began…and, oh, my! Was it different! Sexy. Naughty. Pushing me WAY out of my comfort zone. But, boy, did Judy make me laugh. And romance should be fun, right? Judy’s missteps made me remember that every woman deserves a hero who respects her, adores her, and can see past her flaws. We are all worthy.

As America Ferrera’s character said so eloquently in BARBIE: You have to never get old, never be rude, never show off, never be selfish, never fall down, never fail, never show fear, never get out of line.”  Everything Judy is and does flies in the face of these things. And I’m so proud of her.

Thanks to Judy, I found my way back to writing, and a wonderful new publisher (Tule Publishing) asked me to write a book for them. One book led to a dozen more and counting. As Judy’s late friend Buddy Fusco liked to say, “You gotta keep the juices flowing to avoid getting old.”

Is visiting Montana on your 2024 bucket list?

Montana vistas beckon.

I have fabulous memories of our trips to the Big Sky State, but here’s a way to visit without leaving home. 😉

WITH LOVE MONTANA: Big Sky Mavericks and Friends (Tule Publishing) Kindle Edition

Nine-book connected series set in small-town Marietta, Montana.

Escape to the romance and adventure of Montana in nine novels set in small-town Marietta. Slip into a world where people look out for each other, and falling in love means working together to overcome all obstacles.

BOOK 1: Montana Cowgirl


Bailey Jenkins is back in town.

Fifteen years ago, I loved her with every ounce of my being…and hated her just as passionately for what she did. But this beautiful, broken stranger isn’t the same cocky rodeo queen who left Marietta with such big dreams. I might be the only friend she has in this small town with a long memory. A friend. Nothing more. And absolutely no benefits. Still, there’s no denying the connection between us. A single touch of her hand proved that.

BOOK 2: Montana Cowboy

All hat, no cowboy? Bite me.

I know what my hometown thinks—Austen Zabrinski deserved getting knocked down a notch or two after that scandal in Helena. But I’m a Big Sky Maverck and I’ll fly high again after the political dust settles. And how better to kill time than make friends with my new neighbor? The gal they’re calling Marietta’s “Red Hot Llama Mama.” Nothing serious, of course. Just a little here-today-gone-to-Helena-tomorrow fun.

BOOK 3: Montana Darling

Love at first sight is a myth. Right? Like BigFoot, only prettier…

People look at me and see a vagrant living in a tent beside the Marietta River. Just ask Mia Zabrinski, who blew into my camp with fire in her eyes and legal threats tumbling past her gorgeous, perfect lips. For the first time in months…well, since my beautiful Colette and our baby died, I can feel my creative juices starting to flow—along with an unexpected jolt of lust. Unfortunately, prickly attorney Mia seems more interested in making war than love—range war.

BOOK 4: Montana Maverick

If Santa was a woman…and wore snowshoes…

I’ll admit flying a helicopter in a blizzard wasn’t a great idea. But watching my grandbaby burn up with a fever while gasping for air wasn’t an option. I figured it was all over when we went down, but then an angel in snowshoes came to our rescue. Meg Z of all people. The woman the Press labeled my “archenemy.” Like hell. She saved us, and I’m going to return the favor by giving her something she doesn’t even know she needs: a family. My family. And me.

BOOK 5: Montana Gift

The untold—till now—story of OC Jenkins

So, my wife of forty years tells me she’s going to write our life story—even the bad sh…stuff. And lord knows there was plenty of that. Booze. Fights. Grief. Remorse. Why anyone would want to read about this is beyond me, but everyone in Marietta knows I can’t say no to Louise. After all, she saved me too many times to remember…but, now, you can read all about it just in time for Christmas. Tell your friends: Town Drunk Redeemed.

BOOK 6: Montana Miracle

A dog, a pastor, and an ex-con walk into a church…No, it’s not a joke.

The calendar is clicking down to December 25. The best possible travel day for a guy like me. No family gathered ‘round a tree opening gifts. No friends expecting me for a big ham dinner. No sticky strings attached…except for a stupid dog that doesn’t understand the command: “Go away.” And a beautiful but nosy pastor who claims I’m a “miracle in the making.” For a smart lady, Pastor Sam Zabrinski, sure picked the wrong ex-con to play Joseph in her living créche. Husband to Mary? Father to the infant Christ child? Pul…lease. I was a dad once. Briefly. And it didn’t end well. Only a freakin’ holiday miracle could reunite me with my daughter. And that’s about as likely to happen as Pastor Sam falling for a sinner like me.

BOOK 7: Her Hero to Love 

Once burned. Twice wary.

Let’s be clear. I’m nobody’s hero. I tried that once. I failed. And I’ve got the recurring nightmares to prove it. So, when my little brother mentioned a Search and Rescue job opening in Marietta, Montana, I jumped in with both feet—just like they teach you in SmokeJumper School. Too bad nobody mentioned Kat Robinson, my scorching hot co-worker—a single mom with an autistic son. Whatever this crazy attraction is between us, I’m keeping a safe distance—for everyone’s sake.


BOOK 8: Her Rogue to Tame

Roommates with benefits. Who could possibly get hurt?

“Get your Zip On” – That’s the slogan for the new zip line I’m building near Marietta, Montana. Correction: was building. My dream is on hold until I’m back on my feet. I can’t work on the mountain, but I sure as heck can hobble well enough to accept gorgeous, New York City outcast Amanda Heller’s offer: supervise the restoration of her grandmother’s old Victorian while sharing the property’s guest house. I’m an ex-Chippendales dancer, so I know sizzle when I feel it, and I predict a quick fling in my future—a month or two tops. Which everyone knows isn’t long enough for a rogue like me to fall in love.

BOOK 9: Her Rebel to Kiss

 Don’t look down and don’t give up.

That’s not a bumper sticker saying, it’s my credo for living. My SmokeJumper brothers, Flynn and Tucker, claim my off-season climbing career is too risky. I argued otherwise until…well, I walked away. Now, there’s no going back. Luckily, I’ve landed a great job in the same town where my best friends have fallen in love with the women of their dreams. Settling down always seemed more daunting than Everest until I kissed a mysterious lady in red on New Year’s Eve at the Big Sky Mavericks’ Masked Ball. I know it sounds crazy, but what are two star-crossed lovers supposed to do when one kiss isn’t enough?
