What's up?
Hello everyone,
Liz here, I have some big news for you. The second book in the Hearts of Gold series, A Star for Annie is currently live on some ebook retailers. I can hear you cheering now.
Hopefully, all will be live by 4.1.15.
All links are posted on my webpage at: www.lizabethscottbooks.com
Here's a few facts you may like to know:
1. Annie is my longest story to date and is being published on my birthday! 4.1.15.
2. The reason it is so long is because I fell in love with Annie and Carter and didn't want to leave them.
3. Carter is very loosely based on a very famous singer with the first name of "Garth". Yeah, you know who I'm talking about. His unselfish dedication to his children made such an impact on me, at the time it happened, till today when he is finally getting back into the music scene. I knew that was the type of man Carter had to be. But it takes him a while to get there.
4. The name Sylva Ann Gold was really thought up by my husband. I knew I wanted to play around with their names. Mary Gold came first while I was digging in my flower patch. I don't call it a garden, it's a patch. Then came Rose. Well, because it's obvious. I tried to make silver and gold work and that was when my hubby popped in with the perfect answer.
5. A Star for Annie is my sixth book since Sweet Surrender from the Royal Vow Series was published on 4.1.14. Yep, that's six books in one year. Geeze, no wonder I need new glasses!

WHAT'S NEXT?
One I'm working on is the third and final book of the Hearts of Gold Series, A Cowboy for Mary. Ohh, ya'll get ready, cause you will not believe all Mary has going on. All I will say is, looks can be deceiving. I already have a favorite line in the book, but dang it, I can't tell ya! I'm hoping for an early summer release. Fingers crossed.
The fourth book of the Royal Vow series, Sweet Temptation needs some final tweaking. Emails and Facebook inquires show that ya'll want me to kick this one into high gear and get it out to you sooner rather than later. I hear you, I really do. I have a hard time letting go. I will miss this family, but I think you will be pleased at how everything wraps up. I hope this will be out in the Fall of 2015. Fingers and toes crossed.
The third book I am working on is going to be a bit different from anything else I've written. At least right now, in my mind it is. It's going to be a progression through childhood to adult with many peaks and valleys in between. I'm having such a ball writing it. It's hard to make myself stop and go back to the other two. Sorry!
As you can see I have LOT'S on my plate and even more ideas that keep floating around in my head.
Thank you again for going along on this ride with me. It has been wild, scary, and amazing since I wrote the first word and wondered what in the world I was doing! I have found many truly amazing folks in the writing community that have generously and selflessly, shared and guided me in the direction I needed to be. Even when I was kicking and screaming. I can never thank you enough!
A Cowboy for Mary
Never in her life had Mary Gold met such an infuriating man. He rode up on his horse and saved her from expiring on the long deserted road to Able, Texas. What started off as a dream soon turned into a nightmare when the rude man used every opportunity to insult her. If he didn't want to have anything to do with her, why did he keep coming around!
Mary was on to his playboy ways and she wasn't interested in anything he had to offer. Well, if he offered. Which he wasn't.
Ethan knew her kind and he was through with relationships. Period. There was nothing tempting about the addled woman he found sun burnt and dehydrated on the side of the road. No matter how hard he tried to convince himself of that, it just wasn't working. The best thing for him to do was to send her back where she came from. Far, far, away from him!
The fly in the ointment was...appearances could sometimes be deceiving.
