Seven Wicked Nights is out today!
Seven bestselling historical romance authors offer seven sexy stories featuring dukes, lords, rakes, scoundrels…and the unforgettable heroines who bring them to their knees. These stories range in length from long novellas to delectable little bites.
My contribution to the set is How to Catch a Wild Viscount, which you might have already read – but even if that’s the case, here’s your chance to read stories from six other great authors for less than a dollar! Order the set today at Amazon, iBooks, Nook, or other retailers.

Elections for the Board of Directors of Romance Writers of America opened this week, and I am on the ballot as a candidate for Director-at-Large.
Why am I running?
RWA is going to be facing some big decisions and issues in the next year or two–and the choices made will affect every member. As a someone who values RWA, I would like to see that process be as transparent as possible, and inclusive of all the different voices in our organization.
So most importantly – please vote! Whether you vote for me or not. The ballot is full of excellent candidates.
If you are looking for suggestions, I will tell you I am voting for Courtney Milan and Carolyn Jewel. They are brilliant, talented authors who would bring a wealth of publishing experience and subject expertise to the board. Both have experience in traditional and self-publishing. Courtney has an impressive (understatement!) legal background, and Carolyn knows a great deal about technology and user testing.
I am neither a lawyer nor an IT whiz — aside from being an author, my professional background is as a librarian. That means my particular interest is in providing free and fair access to books and information. Board directors are elected to serve the organization, not advance individual agendas, but if I have a philosophy that tends to color my decision making, it’s that one.
Most of all, I just believe in and appreciate RWA. Over the years, membership has meant a lot … Read More »

I’m happy to announce that I’ve re-released my very first novella as a free e-book!
As I write this, How to Catch a Wild Viscount is available free from Amazon (US, UK, Canada), BN, Kobo, iBooks, and GooglePlay. If it’s not free at your favorite retailer, you can also download a free PDF here at my website. There will also be a Createspace paperback available to order through Amazon very soon, for anyone who would prefer print.
Order links, excerpt, info, and PDF are at this link. If you missed this story before, I hope you enjoy it!
This novella was originally published in 2009 as The Legend of the Werestag. Yes, that title was weird. No, the story is not a paranormal romance. 🙂

It’s been a busy summer so far for the Dare family! I recently returned from a wonderful time at the American Library Association conference in Las Vegas, and soon I’ll be headed to two events in Texas.
July 20-22 – “For the Love of Books: Readers Love Romance!” at Lake Austin Spa
I am beyond excited for this. What could be better than a gathering of readers and writers, at a world-class spa retreat? Lake Austin Spa is gorgeous in the photos, and I can’t wait to experience it myself. I’ll be there with amazing bestselling authors Lori Wilde and Kerrelyn Sparks, and anyone else who would love to join us for a few days of pampering, writing, and talking romance. There will be romance trivia, a writing workshop, wine and cheese… I think I’m even leading (or straggling on) a hiking excursion! If you have a few days to spare, please consider joining us!
Romance Writers of America annual conference, July 22-27 in San Antonio, TX
The RWA annual conference is always a highlight of my year. If you’re anywhere near San Antonio, please mark your calendar for the annual “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing on Wednesday, July 23rd, from 5:30-7:30 at the Marriott Rivercenter hotel. This wonderful event with 500 authors is open to the public – all books are donated by the publishers, and proceeds go to support local literacy causes.
For those attending the conference, I’ll be moderating a panel on Thursday at 4:30:
