His heart tells him it wants more.

RAWHIDE AND ROSES by Maddie James, Amazon bestselling author of contemporary and western romance. She’s roses, he’s rough-and-ready rawhide. Kim Martin is hardly equipped for a Colorado camping trip, especially when her mountain guide is a rough-edged cowboy who is as untamed as the wilderness. Thad Winchester’s patience for city women is wearing as thin as the seat of his jeans. But there is something about Kim that puts his hard-and-fast don’t-touch rule to the test.

Grayson finds his perfect dance partner while Chloe finally finds her muse. Will her secret destroy both their dreams?

Who is Renee Vincent: I'm an author, a dreamer, a horse owner, and a medieval history buff. I'm a fun-loving, mildly eccentric, free-spirited kind of girl with a passion for books. From an early age, I've always had scenes playing out in my head. Whether it was a story with a moral or a tale with a twist, those ideas have never let me sleep until I wrote them out. And considering I have an eclectic ensemble of stories swarming in my brain at any given time, I write under a couple pen names to accommodate the various genre categories.

(Historical & Contemporary Adult Romance)
From the daunting, charismatic Vikings, to the charming, brazen Alpha male heroes of modern day, you'll be whisked away to a world filled with fast-paced adventure, unforgettable romance, and undying love.

also writing as
Gracie Lee Rose
(Lighthearted, Fancy-free Women's Fiction/Chick Lit)
For those who love to read fun, wholesome, and endearing romantic stories (with a smidgen of spunk) that your mother, sisters, friends, and daughters can enjoy.

What is the most important thing you do for your career now, as compared to when you first started writing?
I keep writing. Having a backlist has been the best marketing tool.

Of all your characters, who’s your favorite, and why?
I’d have to say my Viking heroes. Since high school, I’ve had an abnormal fascination with Vikings, particularly those in the 10th century. When I read my first Viking romance about twenty years ago, I knew then that I’d found the perfect genre for quenching my thirst for the bold, brazen, Alpha male. And because of my dream of being writer, it only made sense for me to write one of my own.

Do you eat comfort food/listen to music when writing?
My only vice is coffee. Gotta have my coffee with lots of whipped cream. My favorite Starbucks coffee is a Café Mocha, shot of vanilla, and double whipped cream.

Give one advice tip to an aspiring author.
Dream as big as you want, but set goals that are realistically attainable. Use each accomplished goal as a stepping stone toward that big dream.

And another would be: WRITE that next book! Nothing will help you more as a writer than having a backlist.

What genre would you like to try writing that you haven’t yet tried?
Young Adult historical fantasy. I have a premise, a title, a cover, and a different pen name for this upcoming project…I just have to find the time to write it. I’m hoping to finish it sometime in 2015.

Out of your entire backlist, which book has the best opening line?
From Raeliksen (book 1 of the Emerald Isle Trilogy)
I shall marry this woman, Dægan Ræliksen decided.

How many stories are swirling around in your head? Do you keep a mental list, a computer file, or a spiral notebook filled with the ideas?
I can’t begin to count the number of stories in my head and I don’t write any of them down. I usually write the next one that is bugging me the most. It’s usually the one that never lets me sleep.

Fun Stuff:
What is your favorite holiday and why – Christmas, I love to give gifts.

What are two things people might be surprised to know about you?
#1 I’m on the cover of USA Today Best Selling Author, Shelly Thacker's western romance, AFTER SUNDOWN, with cover model and dear friend, Billy Freda.

#2 I own a 1975 Stingray Corvette

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up – Writer
Favorite food – Mexican and Thai.
Favorite happy memory – anything that includes my little sister, Lindsey, still being alive.
Favorite drink – coffee.
Hot summer days or chilly winter nights – Oh gosh, HOT summer nights. I HATE winter.

What is the top thing on your bucket list – to go to Ireland and Norway.
If you could have a super power, what would it be – teleportation, so I could travel in a split second, either to present day places or in the past.
