Okay, it&#8217;s one of the books that started it all. But if it weren&#8217;t for <em>Rough Edges<\/em> and <em>kINKED<\/em>, Pen and Kink Publishing would only exist to publish my own work&#8230; and what kind of weird alternate universe would that be?<\/p>\n<p>But here&#8217;s the thing. When my previous publisher told me I&#8217;d have to cancel <em>Rough Edges<\/em> I couldn&#8217;t do it. I just couldn&#8217;t do it. I love this anthology and I knew I was going to do whatever it took to make sure it got published even if that meant, essentially, creating a press to do it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That<\/strong> is how much I adore this collection.<\/p>\n<p>And this week is its release-aversary. Wow.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s tough to believe a whole year has gone by since we first introduced this book to the world &#8212; so much has changed. One thing that hasn&#8217;t changed though, is the love I have for this book.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m not alone.

Cowboys are a straight forward theme and evokes images of the wild west, rough &amp; tumble times, and hard living men [and women]. Add in sex and you get a new look on the genre.
