Codys, Behind the Scenes

Have you ever wondered how Harlequin romance novel covers come into being? Well, now you can get a glimpse via the new Love That Cowboy page on Harlequin's website. Here you can see some shots from the photo shoot for Merry Christmas, Cowboy, the sixth and final installment in our currently releasing Codys: First Family of Rodeo continuity series. As I looked through the photos, it was interesting to see how everything came together to make Lynnette's gorgeous cover.

And if you look at the next-to-last photo, next to the small shot of the cover, you'll see our fabulous editorial team at Harlequin American. To the very nice-looking cowboy's left are Johanna, Kathleen and Laura.

I did a bit of searching online to see if we'd be fortunate to have any westerns coming out anytime in the near future and found out that Christmas day will see the release of the remake of True Grit by the Coen brothers. The original was a John Wayne film, but news accounts say the new version will be truer to the novel by Charles Portis and be told from the point of view of the 14-year-old heroine, Mattie Ross. I don't believe there's a trailer yet available. The new film has some big names in Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin. The lead will be played by a young actress named Hailee Steinfeld.
