HEY THERE FRIENDS, I AM BACK TODAY WITH AN ANTHOLOGY, AND IF THAT NAME DON'T GRAB YA, NOTHING WILL ;)! BUTT RIDERS ON THE RANGE FEATURES SOME HOT HOT AUTHORS WITH THEIR TAKE ON A WESTERN! I HAVE MINI REVIEWS OF EACH BOOK, ALONG WITH A GUEST POST FROM ONE OF THE AUTHORS, ALLY BLUE, BUY LINKS, AND A RAFFLECOPTER GIVEAWAY SO LET'S GET STARTED:
Do you imagine blazing gun battles, bandits, and saloons with watered-down drinks when you think of cowboys and the West? We don’t. Our minds go right to horse shifters, bull shifters, were-leopards, urban wannabes, an interrupted journey along Route 66, a man of mystery named Dr. Feel-Good, and high noon at the edge of the galaxy! The fourth time’s the charm as the Butt-Thology authors saddle up, ride their men hard, and put ‘em away wet.
Butt Riders on the Range…the bulls aren’t the only ones being grabbed by the horns!
Butt Riders on the Range…the bulls aren’t the only ones being grabbed by the horns!
HERE ARE MY REVIEWS IN BOOK ORDER:
BOOK 1: HUNG LIKE A HORSE: J.P. BARNABY:
Riley is a horse shifter with a painful past, he has been at John's farm in horse form so he isn't found. When he can't control his shift will it be his undoing, or the best thing that has ever happened to him? This one is great, I connected to the characters right off! *5 Stars*
BOOK 2: CHINCHILLA CHIMICHANGAS: KAGE ALLEN:
Chris is a writer whose hilarious characters get a little too comfortable in his head! When the bus he is on is forced to stop in a small town due to bad weather, will Chris find all his fantasies come to life? I loved this one and I love the ending! *5 Stars*
BOOK 3: SQUATTING WITH SPURS ON: KIERNAN KELLY:
Dooley suffers from dirty nightmares of the most literal kind ever since he inherited a ranch in Montana. When the ranch owners ghost appears Dooley is in for the shock of his life, or should I say lives ;p ! This one was very inventive and I loved the ending of this one also! * 5 Stars*
BOOK 4: FAUX COWBOY: SHAE CONNER:
Jackson is the face of a Western clothing line that is popular with the New York City gay scene, he has to play the role of cowboy, but when he finds the perfect guy can he finally just be himself? I liked all the characters in this one, I would love to see a story about Jackson's best friend! *4.5 Stars*
BOOK 5: HOOVES AND HORNS: EDEN WINTERS:
Kerry is a horse shifter, but also a bull rider in a rodeo, what will happen when it turns out Kerry is VERY familiar with the bull he is riding in the rodeo, he and the bull aren't exactly on speaking terms! ;) This one was my favorite, it sure did make me chuckle! *5 Stars*
BOOK 6: THE BOY FORM BUTTALION BLUFF: JEVOCAS GREEN:
Toby has been lusting after Dr. Feelgood for what feels like forever, will he finally get up close and personal with the Dr. after spying on one of his 'house calls', and is there more to Dr. Feelgood than meets the eye? This one was HOT!!! *5 Stars*
BOOK 7: THE FIVE HELLS WAR: ALLY BLUE:
Balthazar meets Salvador when he tells him he is being taken to court over control of his ranch. Balthazar decides he wants something else besides his cushy job on another Galaxy, but can he have it and help get Slavador's ranch back too? This is an inventive look at another world and what their cowboys might be like! *4.5 Stars*
BOOK 8: AND THE HORSE HE RODE IN ON: T.C. BLUE:
Tyler keeps getting his lambs eaten, won't he be surprised when he finds out what exactly is eating them! I really liked this one, it was a little longer than the rest but kept my attention! *4.5 Stars*

NOW HERE IS THE ALLY BLUE GUEST POST I PROMISED:
Hi y’all! I’m Ally Blue,
stopping by to talk about the awesome and fabulous Butt
Riders on the Range
anthology. This is the second Butt-Thology book I’ve taken part in,
and it’s been every bit as much fun as the first one I was in, Butt
Ninjas From Hell.
My contribution to Butt
Riders is a little tale called The Five Hells War. It’s my own
version of the Fancy Man From Back East Takin’ Mah Ranch trope. How
in the world did that happen, you ask? Well, I’ll tell you. Last
year, after Butt Ninjas, all of us in the Butt Buddies group were
discussing possible themes for the next butt book. Lots of different
ideas were thrown around. Don’t ask me what all they were, because
I don’t remember. I’m an old lady, I forget things. Anyway, the
idea that stuck was cowboys. Butt Riders On The Range.
Great, right? Everybody loves
cowboys, right?
Yeah, I don’t do cowboys.
I mean, sure, cowboys are hot
and all. But the only thing I know about cows is that they used to
get out of the fences at the dairy farm a little ways from my house,
stand in the middle of the road and almost make me wreck my car. The
only thing I know about horses is that they all hate me and like to
scrape me off on trees. The only thing I know about ranches and
wrangling all that is… nothing. I know nothing about those things
at all. Worse, I’ve never been particularly interested. That being
the case, writing a story about sexy cowboys presented rather a
challenge for me. I knew I couldn’t make a straight-up cowboy story
work. So I thought to myself, how do I turn it into something that
would fit me and my skills?
A little bit of pondering
made the answer obvious. I love futuristics. I love taking familiar
ideas and putting a different spin on them. And that was it: Gay
Space Western!
My “Wild West” is a
primitive planet on the edge of the galaxy called Dilmun. My “cattle”
are animals native to Dilmun called Boomers, after the loud, booming
sound they make. Boomer ranching is the biggest business on Dilmun.
My boomer rancher is Salvador “Rocky” Flint, and the Man from
Back East (aka the Galactic Center) is Balthazar Shellenbarger, a
lawyer for Cavendish Family Farms, the company that owns ninety-plus
percent of the boomer business on the planet. Lawyer meets Rancher,
and sparks and sexytimes ensue. Heh.
I loved writing this story.
It was so
much fun. You can read an excerpt from The Five Hells War on
my website. And be sure to pick up Butt
Riders on the Range
when it comes out from Wilde City Press on May 29th!
Thanks for hanging out with me and listening everybody!
THAT WAS GREAT ALLY, THANKS FOR STOPPING BY! HERE IS A BIO ON ALLY AND HER SOCIAL LINKS:
Ally
Blue is acknowledged by the world at large (or at least by her
heroes, who tend to suffer a lot) as the Popess of Gay Angst. She has
a great big suggestively-shaped hat and rides in a bullet-proof
Plexiglas bubble in Christmas parades. Her harem of manwhores
does double duty as bodyguards and inspirational entertainment. Her
favorite band is Radiohead, her favorite color is lime green and her
favorite way to waste a perfectly good Saturday is to watch all three
extended version LOTR movies in a row. Her ultimate dream is to one
day ditch the evil day job and support the family on manlove
alone. She is not a hippie or a brain surgeon, no matter what
her kids’ friends say.
