…Until the release of Scandalous Desires! I recently saw a super wonderful review for Scandalous Desires from blogger Katie Babs which begins:
“Elizabeth Hoyt has written the must read historical romance of the year. Scandalous Desires (Maiden Lane #3) is beyond perfect from beginning to end.”
Read the rest of the fabulous review here.
I’ve spiffed up the website for the release of Scandalous Desires. Here’s a few things you might want to check out:
You can download the fairy tale from Scandalous Desires, Clever John, along with an extended excerpt of the book. Just click on the purple Clever John cover. Clever John is also available FREE for Kindle, Nook, Sony, and as an iBook.
You can also download my free Insider’s Guide to Elizabeth Hoyt’s Maiden Lane Series booklet.
I have a new Book of the Month for October.
And, finally, I’m running not one, but two fun contests this month: my regular website contest and a special contest with the fabulous Kristan Higgins: sign up for both our newsletters for a chance to win a Bad Boy Survival Kit full of fun!
Enjoy!

I just got back from a conference that took place in beautiful St. Petersburg, Florida, where I enjoyed not only the beach and waves but also some fabulous seafood. Believe it or not, I’m glad to be home, though. Autumn in central Illinois is simply gorgeous–the nights have turned cool, the trees are blazing orange and yellow, and the Honey Crisp apples are ripe. I do live this time of year!
I’ve got some updates to my website.
Finally, I’ve got an exciting contest up on Facebook: In October I’ll be giving away a $100 gift certificate to Borders bookstore. To enter the contest all you have to do is “like” my Facebook fan page. That’s it! And if you’re already a fan, don’t worry–you’re entered into the contest.

 I spent last weekend putting together four raised vegetable beds made from cedar wood, although I’ve only filled one so far with soil. We planted tomatoes–yellow pear and brandywine–and carrots and multi-colored swiss chard. And then it rained the rest of the weekend and early this week and the entire backyard flooded! I’m so glad I decided on raised beds.
There’s only a little over a month left until the release of Wicked Intentions, the first book in my Maiden Lane series. I’ve posted the video for Wicked Intentions, along with a new research article, St. Giles and the Gin Craze on the Extras page. I’m giving away my very last arc of Wicked Intentions in my website contest along with a gift card for Barnes and Noble bookstores. Finally, for a limited time only I’ll be giving away a free first chapter excerpt booklet for Wicked Intentions–simply go to my contact page and order one.
Enjoy!

 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!

 I’ve just handed in what I’m hoping is the final revision on my next book, Wicked Intentions, which will be out in August 2010. If you read the excerpt at the back of To Desire a Devil, you’ve already had a taste of Temperance and Lord Caire’s story. Wicked Intentions is the first book in my new Maiden Lane series and I’ve already started work on the second book (tentatively!) titled Notorious Pleasures. I’m hoping that we’ll soon have a cover so I can put up a page for Wicked Intentions with the excerpt and other info. Stay tuned!
In the meantime, I’ve posted Chapter 11 of The Ice Princess! This is the second to last chapter–I’ll be finishing up The Ice Princess in December.
I’ve posted a new Real Dog page for Rue, our newest Untrained Dog on the Extras page.
And finally, I have a new website contest up featuring three of Carolyn Jewel’s books.
Enjoy!
