******* THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED*******
Exile…or love. Life…or death. His demons will force him to choose.
Gunslinger Kincaid has traded his black clothes and pistols for a homespun shirt and trousers. Now he’s Cade Brody, a man with dark hair, dark eyes and an even darker past. The blood money he’s earned bought him a small piece of property in New Mexico territory, at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. But it can’t buy him peace.
Sabrina Edmonds, a tough, no-nonsense widow, runs the post office and store in the small town of Eustace. She’s made her way in life with an independent streak a mile wide. Sabrina doesn’t want to get involved with Cade, but she finds herself drawn to the dark stranger who hides in his mountain retreat.
Cade wants nothing more than to be left alone, but an elusive wild child who delights in tormenting him, and a town full of people determined to befriend him, conspire to intrude upon his self-imposed exile. Then there’s Sabrina, who should be afraid of him—but isn’t.
Not even when the deadly demons of his past catch up with him.
Where you can find Beth
Author Bio:You can’t say cowboys without thinking of Beth Williamson. Her love for all things western shines through in her writing. A true Scorpio, she once described her “word” as passion. Read her work and discover for yourself how hot and enticing a cowboy can be.
Beth is the author many novels and novellas with Samhain Publishing, Loose Id, and Kensington Publishing, with many more in the works for the coming years.
Born and raised in New York, she holds a B.F.A. in writing from New York University. Currently, Beth lives just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina, with her husband and two sons. She welcomes readers to contact her on her website or by e-mail.
Interview Questions:
1.) How did you get started in writing and how long have you been doing it? I’ve always been a writer, since third grade I think. I finally got up the nerve when I was in my late thirties to actually submit a manuscript to a publisher and was fortunate enough to have my first book published in 2004.
2.) What genres/subgenres are your favorites to write within and do you have any aspirations to write outside your current genres/subgenres. Try something new? Oh, I am known for my sexy westersn—a bit obsessive about the cowboys. *blush* I also write some contemporary erotica, kind of my chocolate after the dinner. 😉
3.) What are you working on now and what releases do you have coming up? Releases coming up include Hell for Leather from Samhain in April, On His Knees (contemporary erotica from Samhain), and the Redemption of Micah from Kensington Brava in July. I am working on several things. The first is the fourth book in my Devils on Horseback series for Samhain – this is Lee’s story, my first one-armed hero. It’s challenging, exciting and wonderful. I’m also working on the second in the Private Lives contemporary erotica novellas – these are all about married/divorced/separated women and how they take charge of their sex lives and their men.
4.) Anything else you’d like to share? I love books. LMAO. Really though, I want to say thanks to all the readers who continue to take chances on us authors. I feel truly lucky to have all that I do and to be able to write what I love.
Readers, here is the contest part. Answer this question in the comments to be entered in a drawing for a copy of HELL FOR LEATHER. Check back to tomorrow for the announcement of the winner. The winner will have until May 5th (that’s the last day of the contest) to contact me in order to collect the prize. This contest IS open to non-US entrants.
Imagine you’re leaving Earth for a faraway place with very different food. What’s the meal you have on the eve of your departure, knowing you’ll never again be able to eat it?:
Beth says: Oh, that’d have to be macaroni and cheese. My favorite food!
Okay, blog readers, now you tell us what YOU would eat.

by Dan April 14th, 2009 at 4:03 amthat’s a hard one! I think I could live w/o most things, but I would mourn the loss of chocolate, so my last meal would have to be a chocolate buffet (cake, cheesecake, truffles…)
by booklover1335 April 14th, 2009 at 4:23 amChicken marsala with sweet potatoes, roasted vegetables, and stuffing. Yum Yum Yum
Hmm I think I know what I am having for dinner now 😀

by Sonya Hucks April 14th, 2009 at 6:10 amOh, that is a tough one, but I think it would have to be a nice big and thick steak done on the grill and smothered in onions and mushrooms with a baked potato loaded with butter, bacon bits, cheese and sour cream and then a hot buttery corn on the cob. Of course, afterwards I would have to have my favorite dessert, a big bowl of custard with caramel, hot fudge and chopped pecans. Oh, now guess what I am hungry for.
by Shari C April 14th, 2009 at 6:13 amI’m such a glutton I would miss all food but more so medium rare tenderloin with a sweet potato and salad, lobster for appetizer and oreo cheesecake for dessert. I think I would slip some peanut M&M’s in my pocket too.
by Lisa Freeman April 14th, 2009 at 6:19 amHey Anya and Beth,
I would have to go for the classic steak (medium rare), baked potato (real butter and sour cream), salad, chocolate cake (dessert) and Crown and coke to drink. Have a great day.
by Roberta Harwell April 14th, 2009 at 6:22 amThanks for the interview Beth and Anya. 😀

by Teresa W. April 14th, 2009 at 8:24 amHmmm, definitely cherry pie. The entree doesn’t matter as much as long as there is cherry pie. Let’s see – for the rest of the meal, gooey potatoes, meatloaf and green beans mixed with corn. YUM!

What’s the meal you have on the eve of your departure, knowing you’ll never again be able to eat it?: THat’s hard to just pick out one meal lol I’d have to say a loaded pizza with mushrooms, black olives, onions, pepperoni and lots of mozz cheese.
by SheilaMonique April 14th, 2009 at 10:37 amIt’s gotta be Pad Woon Sen a Thai dish (extra spicy) from one of my favorite resturaunts with Crab Rangoon as a side and Mango Mochi (which is a Japanese ice cream) for dessert..can I get an appetizer too..? If I can a spicy crunchy tuna roll..
by Amy Castellano April 14th, 2009 at 10:47 amNow I’m hungry..LOL..;-)

by chey April 14th, 2009 at 10:53 amI would definitely have to go to a Chinese buffet, because I absolutely love Chinese food!! Maybe I would sneak some with me… *shifty eyes*
Btw, I am attracted to Cade already 😉
by Ashley Madden April 14th, 2009 at 11:02 amUm, that’s a terrible question 😛 I’m a closet foodie… so it’d have to be a feast. For sure my mom’s spring rolls. Steak. Zucchini. Curry. Lamb. Passion fruit. ICE CREAM. Cake. Creme brulee. Meringues. Haha. What a hodge podge mix. I’d never be able to narrow it down for a “last meal” menu. I’d probably try to smuggle food with me 😛
by limecello April 14th, 2009 at 11:02 amFood, my favorite subject 😉
by Eshani April 14th, 2009 at 11:44 amI would have to go with a cheeseburger with crispy onion straws, curly fries, my homemade bread pudding with almond sauce, and coffee with cream..yum!!

by Susan April 14th, 2009 at 1:05 pmOh my gosh, reading through all the comments, I’m near to drooling already.
I’d have a caesar salad followed by beer-battered fish and chips. Tartar sauce to go with the fish…salt, pepper and malt vinegar on the chips with some ketchup on the side. Then there’d be a nice big slice of warm apple pie with a scoop of french vanilla ice cream. And tea…lots and lots of tea with a bit of milk.
by Jacqueline April 14th, 2009 at 1:21 pmWow! That’s a really though one!
Maybe some italian pasta, spagetti ala Milano or something like that.
With jasmine tea.
by Li April 14th, 2009 at 1:37 pmLasagna and a green salad.

by Lisa F. April 14th, 2009 at 2:10 pmRavioli and meatballs, all of it, pasta, sauce and meatballs homemade by my sister.
by Pam P April 14th, 2009 at 2:11 pmWell, no one said it had to be a balanced, healthy meal, right? So there would have to be plenty of chocolate– all kinds, bars, dipped strawberries, puddings, you name it. And the yummy Dove Chocolates are pretty small, so I’m sure I could smuggle them in on my person without be caught… Though they would melt a bit. Which would only make them better, of course!
But I would have to have at least one more dish of this amazing Hawaiin BBQ Chicken and Rice that a local business by my sells– There food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. Ha, that fits in with the original topic/question! If it’s out of this world, I can take it with me, right?
LOL.
by The_Book_Queen April 14th, 2009 at 2:17 pmHands down, any kind of pasta.
by Judy A. April 14th, 2009 at 2:27 pmLove most foods but I guess I’d pick stuffed turkey and mashes potatoes with french bread, side salad and dip and veggies, and don’t forget dessert: apple pie a la mode
by Diane Sadler April 14th, 2009 at 3:22 pmDefinitely Baked Ziti with extra cheese!
by Diane Higgins April 14th, 2009 at 3:39 pmOhh um welll since it would be the last and all can it be buffet style :)?
Let’s see I’d pick some favorites so it’d be a weird assortment lol.
Appetizers – would be suishi rolls and mozzerella cheese sticks and Rose and Crown’s Potato Soap (restuarant in Disneyword)
main course – steak, pizza, loaded baked potato, veggie stir fry
desert – cheesecake assortment with carmel flavored gellato (italain ice cream)!

by Fantasy Dreamer April 14th, 2009 at 7:25 pmI would go with hot buffalo wings with french fries. For dessert, I would have brownies with mint icecream on top with cramel syrup. Yum.
by okibi_insanity April 14th, 2009 at 7:28 pmDefinitely lobster and crab – my 2 faves.
by cheryl kellery April 14th, 2009 at 7:40 pmIce cream, need I say anymore?
by Suzanne Graham April 14th, 2009 at 8:09 pmOh I so love to be in for this one! I love Beth’s books! Yum cowboys!

by Caffey April 14th, 2009 at 8:13 pmReally really good sushi. And ice cream. And flan. 🙂 (Not together, of course)
by Fedora April 14th, 2009 at 8:20 pmI have to agree with Beth on this one. I would definitely have to have macaroni and cheese. It is one of my favorite foods and it’s what I turn to as comfort food. However, I would probably add in some ground beef as well as some extra colby cheese to make it extra cheesy and give it a little extra substance.
by Karin April 14th, 2009 at 9:42 pmWell, they don’t go together at all, but I’d have an appetizer of my husband’s delicious asparagus soup, an entree of Chicken Tikka Masala and for dessert, Creme Brulee.
Beth is one of my favorites when I’m in the mood for a sexy Western. 🙂
by Cynthya April 14th, 2009 at 10:38 pmSpinach lasagna, a salad with a balsamic vinaigrette and tiramisu gelato for dessert – can’t leave Earth without having some icecream!
