One week until Wicked! Also, new formats

Release date for A Week to be Wicked is just seven short days away! Encouraging reviews keep popping up at sites like The Romance Reviews and All About Romance. At midnight on release day, I'll be posting a special little contest called "Colin Kept Me Up All Night" for those excited to read the book right away. Stay tuned for more info.

Psst, did you notice the cover for A Lady by Midnight has been posted? Whew! Hot stuff. :)

Lastly, I'm excited to announce that some of my titles are available in new formats. For the first time, one of my books is available in hardcover large print--A Night to Surrender. (A Week to be Wicked will eventually be available in this format, too.) And One Dance with a Duke is now available as an audiobook from Audible!

Happy Spring! I hope your bookshelves are blooming with great reads. I'm busily writing away on the second book in the new series (tentatively titled A Week to be Wicked, coming early 2012) and getting excited about some upcoming appearances. On April 2nd, I'll be talking with the East Valley Authors, and from April 6-10, I'll be at the RT Booklovers Convention in LA. You canclick here for a list of the conference events I'll be participating in. Can't wait!

December, 2010

December is normally the time when creatures enter hibernation. I'm doing the reverse--emerging from the writing cave (and there was precious little sleeping going in there, trust me :) ). I've turned in the manuscript for my next book, hurrah! And while I wait for revisions from my editor, I finally have some time to gear up for the holidays and, oh yes, update the website. A few sneak peeks at the new book are posted here! I wish you all a wonderful holiday season with your loved ones.

September, 2010

My goodness, it's been a busy few months, between my trip to England and all the excitement of school starting! Fall is my favorite season, even with the milder version we get here in Southern California. I've updated the blog with some answers to readers' questions - namely, How do you solve a problem like Claudia? and What's Next?

July, 2010

Today, July 27th, my sixth book Three Nights with a Scoundrel, hits the shelves--exactly 364 days after the release of my 2009 debut, Goddess of the Hunt. To say it's been a whirlwind year would be a vast understatement! I fly out today to cap it with a wonderful week at the Romance Writers of America conference in Orlando, where Surrender of a Siren is a finalist for the RITA award. Unbelievable. I feel blessed and so grateful to all my family, friends, and readers. Thank you!

This week, I'm off to the RT Booklovers Convention in Columbus, Ohio, where I can't wait to meet up with readers, writers, and booksellers...oh, and accept a lovely award for Goddess of the Hunt (RT Reviewer's Choice for Best First Historical 2009)!
