Happy Valentine's Day! I hope your February is filled with romance. While you're here, please check out my new contest, or catch up on the latest news. If you're on Facebook, I'd be delighted to have you join me at my new Fan page for more updates, discussion, and giveaways.

I've finished most of my revisions on A Night to Surrender--just a few little things to wrap up, hooray! (And I do think that title's going to stick.) It also looks like the release date will be August 30, 2011. I really hope I have a cover to show you soon! Thank you so much to everyone who left "anxiously awaiting" comments on my previous post. They really mean a lot to me.

Next week, I hope to post a little more about the new series.

In the meantime, I'm moving house on Facebook! I was getting too close to the limit for Friends, so I've opened a new Fan page that will eventually house all the updates, giveaways, and such. If you've been a Friend on my profile page (or even if you haven't), I'd love it if you'd come "Like" my new page now. To kick things off, I've uploaded a new photo album of some pictures from my trip to England that inspired locations in the new series. You can view it here. And all next week, I'll be giving away an autographed book every day, so don't miss out!

I've updated my contest page with a new giveaway - and I'm making up for lost time by giving away five hot new historical romances in one bundle!

I recently learned rights to my first trilogy (Goddess of the Hunt, et al) were sold for French translations. C'est magnifique! Finally, a translation I might be able to read...just a little. My high-school French is quite rusty.

And I'm very excited to be a guest of the Friends of Huntington Beach Library for their Romance Authors' Tea on February 10. Romance and tea and libraries - three of my favorite things! Other authors on the panel will be Patricia Wynn and Carol Snow.

Hope all is well with you and yours, and you are not buried under too much snow, or nursing some horrid winter cold. Cheers!
