Summer here in Michigan is sizzling, and so, it seems, is QUINN, Book 1 of my Wyoming Sky series for Grand Central Publishing, which I write as R. C. Ryan. QUINN has now gone back for a third printing, which means you, my dear readers, have been not only reading it and enjoying it, but recommending it to your friends, as well. I can't thank you enough.

JOSH, Book 2, will be available in October, with JAKE following in March, 2013.

I have more exciting news. I've been asked to write another novella for Jove, along with my pals J D Robb, Mary Blayney, Mary Kay McComas and Elaine Fox. MIRROR MIRROR will be our version of popular fairy tales with a twist, and scheduled for release in 2013.

And now for yet more great news. Ta Da!!! My first six historicals, originally published by Pocket Books and their imprint Tapestry, are now available as ebooks on Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com and Smashwords. You can view the covers and read a blurb about each story on my What's New Page.

The first title, PASSAGE WEST, is currently being offered for only 99 cents. It follows the passage of the Market family on their perilous journey from Missouri to California aboard a wagon train. It also chronicles the transformation of Abby Market as she meets the mysterious Rourke, a gunman hired to see to the safety of the families on board that wagon train. They will encounter danger, disaster, deception, despair. Yet through it all, they endure. Theirs is a truly inspiring love story.

The other titles now available in ebook format are: DESTINY'S DAUGHTER, THE HEART'S SECRETS, CAPTIVE OF DESIRE, NEVADA NIGHTS and SEPTEMBER'S DREAM.

I'm so proud of these stories, and so happy that they're finally available to a wider reading audience.

My friends, my hope for you during these lazy, hazy days of summer is that you make some time to simply kick back, relax, and read. And when you do, I hope you give some of my books, whether paper or electronic, a chance to sweep you away to another time or place. A place of adventure, romance and love.

Please leave me a note, either on my guestbook page, Facebook, Twitter, or via e-mail at ryanlangan@aol.com. I love hearing from you.

Happy summer.
Happy reading.
