Today is the official release day of my first book published as Emma Lang. It’s not my “first” book per se, since I already have over 2 dozen novels/novellas/short stories published, but it’s Emma’s first.

So who’s Emma? Well, Emma is me and I am she.

No I don’t have multiple personality issues, although my DH might argue that point. I am now published as Emma Lang with Kensington. A writer who embarks on a new adventure with a new pen name does it for various reasons. Perhaps she/he wants a new start, or a publisher may request it, or sometimes it’s even the market.

In my case it’s a combination of a few of those reasons. For Kensington, I will now exclusively publish as Beth. However, both pen names will still be actively publishing across the romance world. I promise!

So today is the release date for RUTHLESS HEART, my wild and intense western starring Eliza (a runaway Mormon scientist trying to find her runaway sister) and Grady (a hard, dark hired gun who can’t seem to shake Eliza). It’s fun, sexy, sad, and happy, plus everything in between.

I’ve posted excerpts on my blog over the last week. Please pop on over and take a read to meet Eliza and Grady, and of course, Emma Lang.

Happy Release Day! And to my fellow release buddy, Cynthia Eden! Woot!
