New contest! New publisher!

Thank you to everyone who entered the KISS and Teal bundle contest last month, and congratulations to winner Linda M.! I've just posted a new contest for October. One lucky reader will rake in three gorgeous new historical romances, all taking place in times and settings other than the English Regency. If you enjoy variety in your historical romances, this is the contest for you!

In other exciting news, please join me in welcoming Rouge Romance to the world! This new UK-based digital imprint is part of the Random House family. Rouge just launched on September 29th, with all three of my Stud Club books in their catalog. My other trilogy (Goddess of the Hunt, et al) will be forthcoming, as well. Until now, my first six books not been available as e-books in the UK. The sheer fact of their availability pleases me tremendously, but pretty new covers make it all the more exciting! Aren't they lovely?

Shop Teal this Holiday Season

First, a huge thank you to everyone who's been reading A Night to Surrender, writing me with their thoughts about it, and recommending it to their friends! I'm so grateful, and pleased by the warm reception readers have given Bram and Susanna's story.

As I'm sure you know, if you've followed my site at all or seen the logo on the book, this book is part of Avon's wonderful KISS and Teal campaign to promote awareness of ovarian cancer signs and symptoms.

Last week, I had the opportunity to talk about the campaign on a local news program:

If you're wondering what else can be done to promote ovarian cancer awareness and support the OCNA, I have a fabulous, easy suggestion. We usually think about red and green, silver and blue at holiday time. This year, why not shop teal?

A few simple clicks, and you could be helping OCNA spread its vital message for women's health every time you shop online:

This app is so easy to download - it took about two clicks and thirty seconds on my computer. You don't have to do anything further, except go about your everyday online shopping. Whenever you make a purchase from one of dozens of participating retailers, a percentage of your total will be donated to OCNA. And we're not talking about small, obscure retailers, either! These are biggies like Target, Nordstrom, eBay, iTunes, Barnes & Noble, Expedia, Travelocity, and more.

So please take a minute to download the app, and know you're helping spread a life-saving message--just by shopping!
