Back to the drawing board…
Friday, September 16th, 2011

I LOVE that you all enthusiastically voted on yesterday’s poll. Studs ‘n’ Spurs is the overwhelming favorite. Too bad I can’t use the title! As one reader pointed out to me yesterday, it’s a great title, but Cat Johnson’s using it for a Cowboy series she’s writing—which would be awkward in the extreme if I went forward with the title for reasons that will be apparent when I make the announcements in a couple of months! Lips zipped!

Sooooo, I need another title to give my editor—something just as catchy, just as “cowboy”. Wanna help me? Remember, that grab bag prize is still on the table and you need to keep commenting anyway!

This is what I sent to my editor in the first place. Let’s not spend any more time on these:

* Sex in the Saddle
* Rawhide
* Ride a Cowboy (way too over-used)
* Studs in Spurs
* I Like My Cowboys Naked

So…we’re off! Give me your suggestions. No idea is a stupid one when you’re brainstorming! Think—cowboys, leather, horses, attire, ropes, saddles…

    Maybe something Willie-inspired:

    Cowboys Ain’t Easy to Love
    Cowboys are Harder to Hold

    Others inspired by songs:

    Come All You Cowboys
    Back in the Saddle Again
    Cowboy Dreams
    Tall Men Riding

    My god, have you read old cowboy songs??? I’m crying my eyes out. Done for now!
