It’s Hang Out With My Friends Day!

The If I Fall Blog Tour is going strong!  Today, I’m visiting with some romance writing friends!  First up, I’m over at Vanessa Kelly‘s blog — where if you can answer the age old “What one book would you take to a desert island” question, you might win a copy of Follow My Lead (the book that introduces Sarah Forrester, the heroine of If I Fall).

Next, I’m also hanging out with Maya Rodale — one of the founders of Lady Jane’s Salon, and a fantastic historical romance author to boot.  She asks me her infamous Heroine Questionnaire.  And you never know what’s going to happen when we start talking heroines.

Other than that, a lot of fun things going on this week — and a lot of writing.  Until later, my friends — Happy Reading!

 

 

Vauxhall Vixens

A Vixen of Vauxhall!

Today, I am talking casting with the Vauxhall Vixens.  Who would you cast as the leads in the inevitable movie adaptation of your novel?  For me, in If I Fall it’s a certain six-packed Texan (provided he can do a British accent, of course) and a fair English rose.  Also, there’s a giveaway, so head on over!

Until next time kids, Happy Reading!

 

Tote Bags N Blogs!

Another stop on the If I Fall Blog tour!  Today I’m over at Tote Bags N Blogs, talking about how much I love Secret Identities.  (Answer: a lot.  A lot a lot.)

Also, in some fun news, If I Fall was named one of The Season’s Top Picks for April!  Are you excited? I’m excited.

That’s all for today — don’t forget about my website contest!  The prize this month is phenomenal:  my entire signed backlist PLUS a $25 Amazon gift card, so you can fill out your Kate Noble collection!

Back again soon, until then — Happy Reading!

 

 

Dishing on Romance

Today, I’m at the Romance Dish, where I divulge one of the more painful inspirations I had for writing If I Fall – a broken heart.  (But don’t worry, at least in my case it turned out well.  To find out if it turned out well for Sarah Forrester, you’ll have to read If I Fall!)

Also, we’ll be doing a giveaway too, so head on over and read about my pain!

There will be many more blog tour stops next week, so stay tuned for more to come!  Until then, happy reading!

 

 

Double Stop!

At dawn, we write!

Hey all!  The If I Fall Blog Tour has a double stop today!  I am so excited to be interviewed by the awesome (and thorough!) Pamela Clare at USA Today's Happily Ever After Blog.  It was a really fun interview, you should check it out.

(Also, you should check out the great review (eeee!  Good reviews!) USA Today posted about If I Fall as well.  It makes me do a happy dance.)

My second blog tour stop today is as a guest at the Jaunty Quills, where the wonderful Shana Galen and I discuss cover art, the case of wit v. poignancy, and CELEBRITY STAR SIGHTINGS!  Tell us the star you would most like to see across a crowded room, and possibly win a copy of If I Fall!

I hope you all are enjoying the blog tour so far –  in fact, it has me already planning my next one.  Do you guys have any suggestions for places I should go (physical or internet) for my next book release?  I'm taking all suggestions!

Until later kids, happy reading!

Novel Thoughts. I has them.

The Blog Tour rolls on!  Today I'm at the Romance Reader at Heart Novel Thoughts Blog (whew, that's a mouthful!) talking about one mischievous hero, Naval limericks (the non-dirty kind) and giving away a copy of If I Fall!

While all these giveaways are happening on other sites, I don't want you to forget about the contest going on here on this website.  There's a fantastic prize — all four of my backlisted books (autographed, naturally), plus a $25 gift card to Amazon — so you can fill out your Kate Noble collection!

More to come very soon, but until then, kids, happy reading!

Wherein I get interviewed by a demon sheep.

The demon sheep and me. Sort of.

Yes, you read that right.

Today, I am visiting with Mho Fho – er, I mean, Katiebabs over at her blog, Babbling About Books!  Mho Fho is her demon sheep, and somehow, he snuck into my luggage for my recent trip to Machu Picchu, and wreaked his own kind of havoc on the flight down.  *And*, this is one of those lucky blogs where one lucky commenter could win a copy of If I Fall!  So what are you waiting for?  Head on out!

Have you read If I Fall yet?  What did you think?  I would love it if you would let me know.  You can leave a review on Goodreads or Amazon, or just drop me an email!

I'll be back soon, but until then, happy reading!

The Season For Romance!

And the Blog Tour rolls on!  Today, I'm at the The Season for Romance, talking about first crushes?  Who was your first crush?  come by The Season and let us know, and you could win a copy of If I Fall!

Until later sweets, Happy Reading!

 

Romance at Random

Good morning all!  Just a quick note to let you know that I am hanging out at Romance@Random's Novel Thoughts Blog — hosted by the lovely, talented, multi-RITA nominated Stefanie Sloane!  We talk about the Golden Girls, and the deliciousness of Olive Oil Gelato.  (It's real and it's delicious!)  And of course, about If I Fall and The Dress of the Season.

Nestled happily between Miranda Neville and Diana Palmer...

Also, I've been running around the Los Angeles area, signing books in every bookstore I find!  If you are in the LA area, you might get lucky and find one of these!  (Although, the title seems to have changed to "If I Fautographed Copy".)

I've been so gratified and happy about the feedback that I've gotten already from readers — you guys are fast readers!  (Hmm… maybe I need to write faster to quench your thirsts!)

I'll be back soon with more blog tour information, but until then, don't forget about my website contest!   But for now, kick back, enjoy some Golden Girls discussion, some olive oil gelato, and Happy Reading!

Get Ready to Fall!

release the balloons!

Are you ready with the confetti?  How about the cake?  Someone brought cake, right?  Oh, good.  Because what's a party without cake?

What am I celebrating, you say?  Well, if you have to ask, you're obviously new around here.  That's okay, we saved a slice of cake for you.  I'm celebrating because it is *finally* April 3rd, and that means that *finally* If I Fall is on the shelves!  I am so excited to be able to share the story of Sarah Forrester (last seen getting her heart broken in Follow My Lead) and her childhood friend Lieutenant Jackson Fletcher.  Oh, there are some other people in there, too.  Some infamous spies, some Burmese aristocrats, some French counts, some society busy bodies.  But at it's core, it's a bout Jack and Sarah, figuring out that they are the ones who will be there to catch the other when they fall.

Appetite whetted yet?  Why not read an excerpt before you order your copy?  How about the juicy Noble Notes, that offer an inside peek as to the behind the scenes research of writing If I Fall.

But, you may ask, does this book release warrant both confetti and cake?  That seems a bit excessive for one measly little book, doesn't it?  Well, it's not just one measly little book (and I take umbrage at you calling any work of over 100,000 words "measly") – it's two!  Not only does If I Fall come out today, but so does my special e-novella, The Dress of the Season!

The Dress of the Season is about Harris Dane, Viscount Osterley, who orders a scandalously dress for a woman he wishes to woo – but it accidentally (along with his affectionate note) ends up being delivered to his ward, Miss Felicity Grove!  And that's only the first mix-up, that forces these two stubborn people to see each other with new – and more appreciative – eyes.  Love always seems to be in the last place you look.

The Dress of the Season is available on an e-reader near you now, and its book page also features a wonderfully funny excerpt and some interesting Noble Notes.

To truly celebrate today, I'm kicking the blog tour into high gear!  Today, I'll be visiting with RomConInc, talking about those first crushes that wake us up to Romance — just like the crush Sarah used to have on the Blue Raven…

Not enough to justify the mess of confetti, you say?  Well, how's this:  I have just posted a brand new website contest!  The prize this time is my ENTIRE autographed backlist, plus, a $25 gift card from Amazon, so you can complete your Kate Noble collection.

Okay, I'm going to go bite into some fabulous cake now.  I'm starving.  I know I say it often, but this time I truly mean it, kids:  Happy Reading, everyone!
