  This steamy romantic suspense is a new release and is available in print and multiple ebook formats from Whiskey Creek Press. Click to buy will work soon.
Balancing her yoga spa and raising twins, Widow Heatherlee Baronova is slammed by her late husband’s past when his other-woman partner, an ex-con, demands a key to a safe deposit box. Heatherlee knows nothing about it. When her spa Clearwater is robbed, the police investigation is headed up by Sheriff Marc Duarte, a sheep rancher from the silkiest gentry of town. The last thing she wants is for Marc to prove that dirty money built Clearwater. He knows her problems with a Russian theft ring will escalate beyond bad press and the bottom line. What he doesn’t know is that she married her husband because he looked like him.
(Four characters from my book, MINING EVERMORE, are secondary characters in A KEY TO ALL THAT GLITTERS. They are Heatherlee's attorney friend, Tara Delacuz, Senator Cord Smith, Teacher Mae Han, and Detective Leviticus Blake.) Contact Me |
  Just released in both paperback and various ebook formats from Whiskey Creek Torrid, BLACK ROOTS AND COWBOY BOOTS is a trilogy—a cowboy with a dark past, another with a darker present, and a third with a darkest future. We (RaeLynn Blue, Shara Azod, and I) are thrilled that our anthology hit number three in sales after being released just two weeks and thank our supportive readers.
Mail Order Huntress is my contribution. Benjamin Stahl is a hard-bitten cowboy with a promise to keep. His conscience won’t let him enjoy life until he learns what happened to his Indian wife. Another cowpoke takes pity on Ben for his never ending quest and signs him up for a mail order bride. Mahogany beauty Truth Hannah leaves her Nebraska homestead in 1883 after her mother dies. Destitute, naïve, and determined, Truth signs up as a mail order bride to meet a nice man who will help her hunt for her only living relative, a young cousin, who’d run away to Texas to find work. Benjamin writes that he’ll marry her and track down her cousin. When Truth arrives in Texas, she learns that her groom didn’t pen the letters. Ben is sworn to another yet struggles to keep his hands off Truth’s diminutive figure. Will Truth hold Ben to the bargain? Ride of a Lifetime by Shara Azod is about a contemporary bronco buster who needs to keep his boss’s granddaughter out of trouble, but she’s one hell of a cowgirl. In Ashes of Lust, RaeLynn Blue writes about a space cowboy wrangling rogue satellites and space debris, but when he meets a woman commander, he wants to wrangle her heart. Contact Me |

Click Image to Buy! Windward Whisperings, has received a five heart review from trusted reviewer, Linda, at The Romance Studio. Linda says this: WINDWARD WHISPERINGS is a charming read. Rowland's touching writing makes the reader feel good all over. Thank you, Linda. WINDWARD WHISPERINGS is a steamy interracial reunion story combined with suspense, making the story twice the ride.
Another five star rating comes from Long Island Book Drifters. Reviewer John Philip Meyer writes this: I just finished this book, the second one I've read by Kathleen Rowland, and can't wait to read more. I'm a character person. When a writer creates a reality in the dialogue between and in the descriptions of the characters and the place...I keep reading. I have found Landings Beach and it's inhabitants to be full of the qualities you would expect from a coastal California town. A place of relaxed sophistication and beautiful edginess, not too far removed from the rest of California's grit and psychosis. The people have a past, but are alive in the present, driven by their qualties to thrust forward through obstacles and find their very own destinies. The characters are very real to me, like people I know... well, maybe just a wee bit better.

Mining Evermore, ISBN: 978-1-934475-03-4, a steamy interracial paranormal thriller, is the Amira Press AROUND THE WORLD CONTEST winner. Available from Amira Press and Amazon in print format and ebook from Amira Press, fictionwise, and mobipocket.
The following review received FIVE HEARTS from Linda at The Romance Studio: Tara Delacruz is a criminal lawyer who gets the heat when she lets the corrupt guys off. Living in a small town, where ill-bred townsfolk live, does not always make her day one of bliss. Mayor Cordell Smith is not pleased that the criminals continue to be released with Tara’s work. As his re-election rally soon starts, his thoughts are with the psycho still at large and his platform issues just don’t matter at the moment. He wants the bizarre happenings in town to stop.
When he has the opportunity to meet Tara, she is one Black beauty that captures his heart. With the events happening in the town, the people are more outraged against Tara for allowing certain criminals to go free. As other victims are soon found, with their body’s neck level along the beach, in the sand, it appears they don’t really drown when the tides rise. Fear consumes the town but Cord understands all about immortality and knows all too well the psycho is using it as an evil use. When the town tries to get back at Tara for her actions, Cord jumps in to her rescue.
With his immortality, he fears by continuing to see her will only make it harder to leave her when he is promised eternity forever.
I can tell the author really put everything into writing MINING EVERMORE. The story is so remarkably crafted that it is hard to put this page-turner down. Kathleen Rowland sketches characters that are perfectly groomed in every way. Tara and Cord have passion that shines whenever they are together. They are so refreshing; they jump out and grab a hold of the reader. Amidst the mystery and suspense, I felt like I was part of the investigation with every twist and turn that kept me guessing until the dramatic conclusion. By giving her characters a wide range of expressions it touches upon the reader and leaves an impression that is hard to forget. (Thank you, Linda).
Amira Press has designated MINING EVERMORE as their Around the World winner.
