Cover Shoot!

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

I’ve just returned from a trip to New York City where I got to see the cover shoot for my November book, Scandalous Desires. While there I got to interview the models, the photographer, the stylist, and others. Hopefully we’ll have that video soon, but in the meantime, you can see some of the still photos and a short video of the shoot on my Facebook page.

Notorious Pleasures will be out in a week (!) and to celebrate I’ve posted both the Batten and Reading family trees on the Extras page.

Eloisa James’ A Kiss at Midnight is my Book of the Month for January. And A Kiss at Midnight is the website contest prize for January along with the Princes Trilogy: The Raven Prince, The Leopard Prince, and The Serpent Prince.

Enjoy!

Signs of Spring

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Just this week the temperatures in my part of the Midwest suddenly soared into the sixties and even hit seventy at one point. My snowdrops were already showing, waiting patiently for the snow to melt, but the lavender species crocus (Crocus tommasinianus) popped up overnight it seemed. I’ve got a shade garden by the side of the house where I planted several hundred a couple of years ago and now it looks like a lavender carpet. The “Tommies” must be happy because I’ve noticed single volunteers peeking out of the grass here and there. Now if only the squirrels don’t eat the blooms!

In other news, my publisher, Grand Central Publishing, will be re-releasing the entire Prince trilogy this summer to coincide with the release of Wicked Intentions. They’ve also giving The Raven Prince, The Leopard Prince, and The Serpent Prince brand new covers which I’ve posted on their respective pages. Mouse over the new covers to see the original covers.

Lots and Lots of Books

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

So the Midwest just went through a nasty heat wave and in the midst of it I drove up to Romeoville outside of Chicago to go sign books at a really, really, really big warehouse. I signed for three hours in the morning and two and a half in the afternoon and by the time it was done I’d gone through twelve thin-line sharpies (assorted colors!), a box of 2,000 bookmarks (to put inside the books), and signed slightly under 3,000 books. After that I went back to my hotel room and collapsed. The books I signed (they were pulled ahead of time so I didn’t pick the titles) were The Serpent Prince, To Beguile a Beast, and To Seduce a Sinner. If you live in the USA, you should start seeing these signed copies in big box stores such as Target, Meijer, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart (to name only a few.)

Meanwhile, the link I posted a couple of weeks ago to a free online copy of The Leopard Prince isn’t active yet. I’ll let you know here when it is.

Finally, the RWA Readers for Life Literacy Autographing is coming up in Washington, D.C. There is no admittance charge and over 500 romance authors will be attending to sign their books. Here are the details:

THE ICE PRINCESS Chapter 5

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

My garden is simply delightful right now. True, it’s still full of weeds (mostly wild violets and Star of Bethlehem) but the mosquitoes haven’t yet hit and the evenings are just right–not too hot, not too cold. My shade garden (under a big old maple tree) has white short-spurred columbine and Spanish bluebells blooming amongst the unfurling hostas. I did see the wicked bunny by my tiny veggie garden, but hadn’t the heart to scare her away. Mr. Hoyt (who grew up on a farm) said it’ll be my own fault if we have no tomatoes this summer!

Website updates for May are done! Here’s what you might want to check out:

Chapter 5 of The Ice Princess,
the first scene excerpt of To Desire a Devil,
the cover of The Serpent Prince French translation, Le Dernier Duel (even if you don’t speak French, the foreign language covers are fun to see!)
If you’ve ever wondered “who is that model on the cover?” of one of my books, wonder no longer! Check out the FAQs page to find out the identities of all four of the male models on the Legend of the Four Soldiers series.
and finally, I’m very pleased to announce that To Taste Temptation, To Seduce a Sinner, and To Beguile a Beast will all be released in large print hardcover! The first two titles already have covers to check out–very sexy!

Enjoy!

Fairy Tales and Auctions

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Happy May Day! I was once fortunate enough to enjoy May Day in Oxford, England (I believe I grumbled when my mother pulled me out of bed early to see the Morris dancers–teenagers are never grateful.)

Unfortunately here in central Illinois it’s gray and damp today. Still too wet to weed (well, without making a muddy mess anyway) and rather chilly too. Brrr! Just as well that I need to stay inside and write.

Today I’m blogging at Grand Central Cafe about fairy tales and To Beguile a Beast.

Also today is the start of Brenda Novak’s Online Auction for Diabetes Research. This is a lovely chance for readers to buy autographed books–and arcs!–from their favorite authors and benefit a good cause too. Here are some of the items I’ve donated:
