Rosanne Bittner

Great News, Everybody!

       I just returned from the Romantic Times Magazine writers conference in Chicago, where I was privileged to meet my editor at Sourcebooks as well as take a tour of their facilities in Naperville, Il. (You can read my article on the 2012 Romantic Times Conference here.) I am thrilled to be with Sourcebooks, since they are a very forward-thinking publishing house who stay on top of things and go overboard to support and promote their writers. My two books reissued this year as e-books and in trade paperback, WILDEST DREAMS and THUNDER ON THE PLAINS (see below), will be joined by more of my older titles next year!

       My editor loves western romance and my writing and is dedicated to bringing back the genre, so my readers can expect to see a lot more from Rosanne Bittner, including - FINALLY!- A NEW BOOK COMING NEXT SPRING (2013) titled PARADISE VALLEY, a western romance set in 1800's Wyoming and the Outlaw Trail! I'll have more on this book, including synopsis and cover, as soon as they are available. Giddy-up, Western Romance! Bittner is on the trail again!

       I will very likely hold another contest for PARADISE VALLEY, so keep checking my blog and web site. In the meantime, I am sponsoring another contest for my July book, THUNDER ON THE PLAINS, and the grand prize is a Kindle reader, so watch for details! Thanks to all you readers who helped Sourcebooks realize you want more from Rosanne Bittner!

       Wow, WILDEST DREAMS is now selling very well in the popular and easy-on-the-eyes trade paperback format, as well as an e-book. You can order the book from Amazon.com -- just click here! You can also read more about WILDEST DREAMS on my WHAT'S NEW??? page.

       As you already know, in July (and just in time for vacation or beach reading), the Sourcebooks/ Casablanca Classics reissue of my 1991 hardcover / 1992 paperback THUNDER ON THE PLAINS will be released. It will also have a wonderful new cover and be available in both trade paperback and e-book editions. Just click here to pre-order your copy from Amazon.com, and see my WHAT'S NEW??? page for more details.

       THANK YOU for taking a look at the Amazon.com pages for each of these books and clicking "like"! If you've read either book, it would be wonderful if you would also leave a nice review. All of these things -- pre-ordering, clicking on Amazon.com's "like", and new reviews -- not only help the sales of these books, but also have helped convince Sourcebooks that the demand is there for my new books!

       My agent is now talking with a Hollywood rep. about how many of my stories would make great TV westerns! I am crossing all toes and fingers that perhaps, finally, one of my stories will make it to television! Wouldn't that be great? Just wishful thinking right now, but you never know!

       I truly believe there is a little bit of “cowboy” in all of us … and so I will keep writing books about men like that and the equally brave and tough women it took to keep up with them … or tame them … whichever they were brave enough to try. It’s the “cowboy” in today's Americans that makes them dare to try new ventures, dare to leave the familiar and take a new job or start their own business or move to a completely new area of the country. It’s the American spirit, and a whole lot of that spirit can be identified as the “cowboy” in us.

       I am still working on a deal for the reprint (as e-books) of my entire Savage Destiny series! When that is settled, you'll hear about it and see my brand-new covers, designed by MMRWA member Pat Lazarus, right here.

       AND--I am working on yet another new book. My working title is DESPERATE HEARTS and it's about a woman who fakes her death and flees her abusive husband after the Civil War. I'll keep you posted on progress!

       Remember Asa Nacona, the young man who, at age 4-1/2 years. inspired one of my characters in the Mystic Indian series? Asa is a young man, and entering the Isle of Wight Music College! You can read more updates about Asa here.

        I still have several extra copies of some OLDER BOOKS that are no longer available! Many of these books have been previously read, but some are brand-new. You can order these older titles, as well as my recently reissued books, directly from me and I will sign them for you -- or for a friend who loves a good read.

       I also have available THE TOUCH OF LOVE, a 46-page short story/ novella about Robert Kingsley, the half-Indian boy raised by Rising Eagle of my Mystic Indian trilogy, which was previously only available by download from Mightywords.com. In action, it falls between MYSTIC VISIONS and MYSTIC WARRIORS (Books 2 & 3).

       Please email me if you're looking for a specific book, or send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to me at P. O. Box 1044, Coloma, MI 49038 for a newsletter that lists books I have available.

       Many thanks for your continuing e-mails and notes. They have certainly brightened my inbox. So many of you are telling me which of my older books you have read and loved, and why they are your favorites -- and are looking forward to reading a new Rosanne Bittner book. I have been sharing your messages with my agent, as well as all of my readers via my Guestbook page!

Because of the large number of requests I receive for full lists of my books, the Books In Print section of this website is frequently updated to reflect my latest releases, as well as listing all of my past works. I have also added an Ordering Information page for those of you who can't find my books in your local bookstore, or you can use the "Search" link below to find them on Amazon.com!
