Ahhhh!

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

Woot! I’m happy to report that I turned in the first draft of Notorious Pleasures last week. I’ll have a week or two to get caught up in my garden (where have all those weeds come from?) before I get revision notes from my editor and I’ll go back to writing.

Meanwhile, I have a few website updates: There’s a new Turkish page for my Turkish readers. Non-Turkish readers can check out the lovely cover of The Raven Prince Turkish edition! Speaking of which, I’ve updated the French page with all the covers to date–beautiful! The book of the month is Jennifer Haymore’s A Hint of Wicked.

Finally, Brenda Novak’s annual online auction to benefit diabetes research is going on now until the end of May. I have three items up for sale: an advance readers copy of Wicked Intentions; a basket of goodies, including all my books, assorted teas, and British biscuits; and for writers, I’m hosting a brunch for three at RWA nationals in Orlando–I’m thinking mimosas will have to be on the menu! ;-)



Website Updates and More

Friday, April 30th, 2010

It’s May already and my peonies are in bud. I do hope I can get to weeding before the violets take over the garden this year. What are we without hope? ;-)

I heard just today that two of my books finaled in The Readers Crown Contest: To Desire a Devil and my Julia Harper book, For the Love of Pete.

A few website updates:

  • I have a new Book of the Month pick up on the Extras page.
  • Wicked Intentions bookmarks are in! As always, they’re free so be sure and order some for yourself and for friends.
  • If you’re a public librarian in the USA, be sure to check out the list of books in translation I can send to your library. (Scroll down for instructions.)

Enjoy!



Lovely Updates and the Cover for WICKED INTENTIONS

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Max, our biggest Untrained Dog, met me at the door this afternoon, proudly wearing the remains of yet another broken tie-out lead on his collar. Sigh. We do keep getting him the strongest tie-outs we can find and yet he manages to break the one he has every couple of months. I bought him a new one today, “guaranteed” to hold a up to a 125 pound dog (Max is around 80 pounds.) Poor Rue! When I hook the tie out to her it’s like Marley’s ghost in A CHRISTMAS CAROL: drag…THUMP…drag…THUMP…

The monthly updates for my website are up early! Pride of place goes to the new Wicked Intentions page. You can mouse over the cover to view the beautiful stepback, read the excerpt, and pre-order on Amazon. I don’t have bookmarks yet for Wicked Intentions, but they should be coming in by the end of March or so.

What else? I have a new Book of the Month up on the Extras page, and a new website contest featuring books by Laura Kinsale and Margaret Mallory. Enter for a chance to win all three!



In the Midst of Melting

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Our big snow is melting away bit by bit which makes walking the dogs easier–for me, at least. The dogs don’t care if they have to hop through snow to go on their morning walk. Rue in particular seems to enjoy sticking her entire head in fresh snow to see what’s under there. I took a peek out front, but so far no signs of early snowdrops. In another couple of weeks, perhaps?

I’ve added a new feature to the Extras page–Book of the Month. I’m often asked for my favorite books, what I’m reading now, or for book recommendations. I was also asked to “blurb” several books in 2009 and I thought I’d share some of these and other books I’ve enjoyed recently. January’s Book of the Month is Courtney Milan’s fabulous debut, Proof by Seduction.

I’ve also updated the individual book pages with a “Book Extras” box that lists all the extras for that book on my website. I hope you enjoy!
