5/3/12--More fun news, this time from the Booksellers' Best contest--I'm a
double finalist! The Naked King made the cut in the Long
Historical category, while "The Naked Prince" is in the running in
the Novella group.
4/24/12--"The Duchess of Love," my e-novella and prequel to my new series,
releases today! You can read an excerpt
here.
4/21/12--While recovering from the RT convention and pushing to finish the
second book of my Duchess of Love series, I got some fun news--"The Naked
Prince," my novella in An Invitation to Sin, is a finalist in the
National Readers' Choice Awards for best Novella of 2011! I'm so
delighted!
3/20/12--I just found out Publishers Weekly gave Bedding Lord Ned a
starred review! You can read the review
here.
3/13/12--I've been spending some time updating various parts of the web
site--see, I finally added Facebook and Twitter buttons. (I hope they
work.) So feel free to poke around and see if you find anything
interesting. If you've got questions for the "Frequently Asked
Questions" page, send them along and I'll see if I can answer them.
3/7/12--I finally got the final tweaks for Bedding Lord Ned's cover,
and to celebrate I've posted it and an excerpt. Just click on the
cover and you should get to Ned's page. Enjoy!
2/23/12--I'm hard at work on the second book in my Duchess of Love
trilogy--head down, nose to grindstone--but I decided I'd better take a
break and give you a taste of my upcoming releases. Today I've added
an excerpt from the prequel novella due out the end of April/beginning of
May. For those of you who prefer print, it will be included in the
print version of Bedding Lord Ned. Click on the cover to go
find it! I'm also trying to figure out how to put a Facebook "badge"
here, but until I puzzle that out, you can find my Fan page
here.
1/8/12--A belated happy new year! I'll have two stories out this year:
an e-novella, "The Duchess of Love," in May and a book, Bedding
Lord Ned, in June. We've been tweaking the covers a bit, so I
don't have them yet, but both stories are up for pre-order on various sites.
If you've got a favorite on-line bookseller, please check them out.
Once I have the final covers, I'll add them here with excerpts and links.
The novella, a prequel to the trilogy, tells the story of how Venus
Collingswood, an inveterate matchmaker even at the young age of 19, meets
her duke and becomes not just the Duchess of Greycliffe, but the "Duchess of
Love." The three books are set a generation later when Venus is trying
to meddle in her sons' love lives. Bedding Lord Ned is about
her second son, Ned, a widower, and Ellie Bowman, the girl who's loved him
since they were children. Now I'm hard at work on the second
book--Lord Jack the "baby's" story. I'm saving Lord Ashton, the heir's
tale for last. Oh, and if you haven't yet made the jump to digital,
don't despair. The novella will be included in the print book.
10/31/11--"The Naked Prince" won the Golden Leaf for best novella!
And I won a basket! And I saw lots of friends I hadn't had a chance to
chat with for a long time, so the conference was great fun. But before
I left for New Jersey, I was in mad editing mode, going through the copy
edits of my new novella--"The Duchess of Love."
9/15/2011--I am SO excited!! The Naked King made Booklist's Top
Ten Romance Fiction list for 2011. You can find the list
here.
5/30/11--It's the end of the long Memorial Day weekend here in the U.S., the
beginning of summer--and it's only a week till The Naked King's
official release date. You may already see "him" popping up in stores.
I hope you'll enjoy his company. I'll be popping up, too, around the
Internet, doing guest blogs. If you want to stop by to see what I have to
say and maybe win a Naked book, I'll put the links up on my
blog when I have them. And
don't forget Kensington's contest and mine are still going on. The info is
here and

5/9/11--Yipes! Where did April go? It's now less than one month
until The Naked King's official release date! Please stop by my
blog--you'll find daily
activity there from now until the King is out. Today I've
posted a very cool clickable e-postcard. Here it is, but to get the
click-through feature, you'll have to go to the blog. And don't miss
out on the Kensington contest! I'll be posting my own contest on the
blog tomorrow. And later in the month, I'll put up chapter 2 in 14
snippets. So please join me there!
