Are you ready to RIDE THE HIGH LONESOME with USA Today Bestselling Author Rosanne Bittner in a brand new novel published by Sourcebooks?
Widowed Kate Winters is
stranded in outlaw country, alone, unarmed,
and desperately in need of food and water. When fate leads her to saving
Luke Bowden from a hanging, her life is changed forever. Luke, consumed with a
need for revenge against those who tried to hang him and stole his cattle, is
on a mission to find and kill the culprits, but now the woman who saved his
life needs him for help and protection. RIDE THE HIGH LONESOME is an
unforgettable love story, as well as an action-packed depiction of survival in
some of the biggest, loneliest country in the American West of the 1800’s, and
sometimes “lonely” means need and desire come before love. Told by an
award-winning author who’s been called an “emotional powerhouse,” RIDE THE HIGH
LONESOME is a book you won’t be able to put down until you reach the exciting
ending.
Kate awoke to a crackling
fire, her head on something soft, two blankets covering her. She thought she
smelled coffee, and the smell reminded her she was hungry. She opened her eyes
to a dimly-lit room – except it wasn’t a room in a house. The walls were made
of rock, and the only light was that of the fire.
A horse whinnied, and now
she saw a man wearing a gray wool jacket sitting on the floor of the cave and
leaning against the rock wall only about five feet away. He appeared to be
sleeping. She lay still, thinking. She remembered falling … someone telling her
she was bleeding … something about a cave … lying face-down over a horse. Her
head hurt. She put a hand to her forehead and realized it was bandaged. The
fall! A snowstorm! She gasped and sat up. Her blankets fell away,
and she looked down to realize she wore only her camisole and ruffled
pantaloons. Where was her dress? And where was SHE?
The man spoke up then. “So,
you finally woke up.”

Let's ask Rosanne some questions...
What is your biggest vice?
Rosanne: NIBBLING! When I’m sitting at the computer all day, I’m as bad as a dang
mouse – constantly “nibbling” at something. Usually it’s either nuts, or animal
crackers. I love those animal crackers!
Which of your characters would you most like to invite to dinner?
Rosanne: Luke Bowden from RIDE
THE HIGH LONESOME, of course, because the poor guy is so heartbroken over a
lost love and so lonely. I’d make sure he wasn’t lonely anymore!
What one thing about your hero (in RIDE THE HIGH LONESOME) drives the heroine crazy? Rosanne: Luke won’t commit. He had his heart
shattered when he came home from the Civil War to find the woman he loved
married to his brother. He vowed to never love that much again.
What will always make you smile, even on a bad day?
Rosanne: My
grandsons. They are teenagers now, but they still give me hugs. And now I have
to look “up” to all 3 of them – those little boys who once couldn’t even see over
the counter tops.
What are five books are on your “to be read” pile?
Rosanne: Lucy Kubash’s WILL-O-THE-WISP.
Diane Burton’s NUMBERS NEVER LIE. Diana Stout’s TOMORROW’S WISH FOR LOVE. Mary
Dorla Russell’s WOMEN OF COPPER COUNTRY. And Margaret Coen’s THE GIRL WITH
BRAIDED HAIR and THE SPIDER WEB.
What inspires you daily?
Rosanne: My love for American history, especially the Old West of the 1800s and America's magnificent west.
