This Tuesday, I’ll be headed to Atlanta for the 2013 Romance Writers of America Annual Conference. RWA Conference is always a highlight of my year, and I’m so excited to see old friends and make new ones.
If you are anywhere near Atlanta, please consider attending the “Readers for Life” Literacy Autographing. Over 400 romance authors in one ballroom, signing books donated by publishers and authors – all proceeds go to literacy. Since 1990, this event has raised more than $775,000!
The signing is open to the public. It will be held on Wednesday, July 17, 5:30-7:30 PM, at the Atlanta Marriott Marquis. (From past experience, it pays to line up early!) For more information and a complete list of authors, please see this link.
If you’re in the area, you’re also invited to join authoresses and friends of The Ballroom Blog on Thursday evening at 9PM, in the Pulse Bar (also inside the Marriott). More info here.
Hope to see some of you in Atlanta!… Read More »

Thank you, readers, for all the wonderful support you’ve given Any Duchess Will Do. Pauline and Griff’s story has now spent two weeks on the USA Today Bestsellers list, and I just got word today that the book is already going into a third printing. Wow!
I am just so touched by the enthusiasm readers have shown for the Spindle Cove series, and the way so many have welcomed the characters into their imaginations and hearts.
Several readers have written to ask me what’s next. It’s true that I’m now working on the first book in a brand new series for next year (and I’m sooo excited about it!). However, for those who were wanting more Spindle Cove, don’t despair! Even though Any Duchess was the last planned novel for the series, I feel pretty certain I’ll be revisiting Spindle Cove and/or the characters in some way, at some point.
Tomorrow, I fly out to Colorado for the Crested Butte Writers Conference – can’t wait! If you happen to be in Colorado and want to drop by, the Saturday afternoon events and signing are open to readers.
Thanks again, and I hope you’re all having a wonderful summer.

As the daughter of a famed author, Isolde Ophelia Goodnight grew up on tales of brave knights and fair maidens. She never doubted romance would be in her future, too. The storybooks offered endless possibilities.
And as she grew older, Izzy crossed them off. One by one by one.
No, no, and… Heh.
Now Izzy’s given up yearning for romance. She’ll settle for a roof over her head. What fairy tales are left over for an impoverished twenty-six year-old woman who’s never even been kissed?
This one.… Read More »

Hooray, it’s release day for Any Duchess Will Do! I’m just so excited for Griff and Pauline’s story to be out in the world. I hope readers enjoy getting to know these two just as much as I did.
If you want to chat about this book, there are several chances! There will be a Twitter chat today (May 28th, 4pm ET/1pm PT), hashtag #dukeproblems; my GoodReads group has an ongoing discussion thread; and there will be a special “Ask Tessa Dare” event at GoodReads on June 10th. I’ll be in the Chicago and Ohio areas in the next few weeks – details here. And of course, please feel free to just email me, too!… Read More »

Thank you, readers, for making Beauty and the Blacksmith a USA Today bestseller in its first week! I’m just thrilled and delighted by all the support you’ve given Spindle Cove.
Edited to add: For those who’ve been waiting on print, I’m happy to say the paperback edition of BATB is now available to pre-order!
It’s just two weeks now until the release of Any Duchess Will Do! I’m so excited for this book. Griff and Pauline became one of my favorite couples to write.
The first week of June, I’ll be on tour in the Midwest (Chicago and Ohio), doing events with the amazing Eloisa James and Gayle Callen. Check the schedule here!
My brilliant web designer helped me make some fun little virtual buttons. Check them out in the “extras” section!
