"AWAKENING AVERY" BOOK LAUNCH GIVEAWAYS!

Each week we're visiting the characters from my newest release, "Awakening Avery," and designing a give-away around that character.

Gabriel is a private and contradictory man who loves his home, his family, and Key Lime Pie. A gifted landscaper and florist, he can, by brawn and force, tame acres of wild land, and yet his gentle fingers...

BOOK NOOK REVIEW

SECRET SISTERSby Tristi Pinkston

Fill your thermos with hot cocoa, stuff some chocolate chip cookies into a Baggie and grab a copy of The Bishop's Handbook of Instructions. You'll want easy access to all three as you begin your raucous romp with the dysfunctional Relief Society presidency in Valor Publishing's new release, Secret Sisters, by five-time author Tristi Pinkston.

Pinkston's heroine, Ida Mae Babbitt, a well-intentioned bulldozer of a Relief Society president, is a "git-er-done"...

BOOK NOOK REVIEW

We just launched "AWAKENING AVERY" on Saturday, and as I walked through the book store I saw so many great titles that were written by friends. There's quite a smorgasbord of great new books debuting and plenty of recent releases with enough variety to satisfy every personal preference. Today we're going to look at:

IN THE THICK OF THIN THINGS?

There are always more things to be done than there is time to do them, and so proper prioritizing may be the single most important skill of life. I know that, but I often need a reminder.

I have a book launch this weekend so I'm eyeball deep in Key Lime Jelly Bellies, bookmarks, favor tags and promo stuff.

I was driving yesterday and I had a CD in the player from last October's LDS Church Conference. I heard President Monson's comment about how too many of us are "in the thick of thin things." ...

AUTHOR INTERVIEW: DONNA HATCH

Regency Romances are romance novels set in the early nineteenth century with themes and hurdles that remind the reader of Jane Austin's work. RR author, Donna Hatch, and I cyber-met through ANWA, an LDS women's writing group we each belong to. This busy lady is launching two new books within a few months of one another. "The Guise of a Gentleman" falls into the Regency Romance genre, but "Queen in Exile," her most recent release, is actually a fantasy.

Q: Aside from being crazy busy, tell us s...

"ILLUMINATIONS OF THE HEART"
by Joyce DiPastena
Not a big romance fan? Don't let the flowery teaser on the back cover of "Illuminations of the Heart," fool you. This book is one meaty, intelligent, well-researched and exciting read for lovers of historical fiction. The romance? It's smartly written and delicious.

He spoke the name on a breath like a prayer. Then he lowered his head and kissed her.

Her heart is lost in that first embrace, her world shaken to its foundations. There is j...
