I'm thrilled to announce that my new novella, Once Upon a Winter's Eve, will be #100 on this coming week's USA Today Bestseller list!  Thank you so much to everyone who bought it, read it, and told their friends. I'm so grateful to all my readers.  This is the best early Christmas gift I could imagine.

The novella is still on sale for just $0.79 for Kindle and Nook!

Additionally, the first full-length book in the Spindle Cove series, A Night to Surrender, is marked down to just just $4.99 for Kindle, Nook, Sony, and Kobo.

And it just gets better! Now the digital pre-orders for A Week to Be Wicked are marked down to $4.99, as well!  Lock in that price  by pre-ordering for Nook or Kindle.

Happy Thanksgiving to my friends in the United States!

Tis the season for shopping. Bargain shopping. I have some wonderful e-book deals to share with you. As I write this post, my new digital novella, Once Upon a Winter's Eve, is on sale for just $0.79 for Kindle and Nook! Seventy-nine cents--cheaper than a donut, only with more indulgence and less guilt.

And for a limited time, the first full-length book in the Spindle Cove series, A Night to Surrender, is marked down by three full dollars. The digital edition is priced at just $4.99 for Kindle, Nook, Sony, and Kobo.

In fact, several Avon titles are on sale for this discounted price. So if you need a relaxing, romantic break from the holiday bustle, it's a great time to try a new-to-you author!

I wish you all the happiest of holiday seasons.

It's release day for Once Upon a Winter's Eve!  

This all-new novella in the Spindle Cove series is yours for just $0.99 this holiday season. If you'd like a preview, the first chapter is available here.

I have to confess, this story wouldn't have come about without my friends. The entire plot was hatched out of a comment I made on The Ballroom Blog several months ago, while chatting with pal and fellow author Sara Lindsey late one night. I happened to say, "Some wallflowers bloom at night," and she wrote back, "That would make a great story." The wheels began turning in my mind (Are those mental gears are supposed to resemble big industrial-strength cogs? Because I imagine mine to look like hamster wheels.), and Violet's story was born.

I'm indebted to several other friends for helping me with the manuscript and the publication process, and as Thanksgiving approaches, I am very thankful for them all. And I am endlessly thankful for my readers. I wish you all enjoyable holidays with your loved ones.

And although it turned out well for Violet, I hope that no one crashes into your Christmas party, collapses at your feet, and ruins your best gown.

Just two weeks until the release date for Once Upon a Winter's Eve!  I have three great bits of news on that front.

Pre-order available!   You can pre-order it for Kindle here.  Other formats (including HTML and PDF) are available for pre-order directly from the Samhain store.  That's just the beginning.  By November 15th, the novella will also be available for purchase directly from Nook, Sony, Kobo, Apple, and other e-book vendors.

New excerpt!  I have uploaded the entire first chapter for your reading pleasure here.

Great price!  And I've saved the best news for last - for the holiday season, Samhain is making the novella available for a promotional price of just $0.99!

I'm excited.  Can you tell?  :)

Violet's story was a joy to write, and I'm so glad that this novella will be available in time for the holidays, at a very affordable price.  And isn't the cover beautiful?

Remember, even if you don't have an e-reader, you can use one of the free Kindle apps to read it on your computer or phone, or you can purchase the book from Samhain in html or PDF format and read it in your browser.
