May Lady Jane's Salon: Two Salons, Double the Fun!

We at Lady Jane's are taking our show, or rather our Salon, on the road to The Romantic Times BOOK Lovers Convention held this year in Columbus, OH.

Behind the Scenes with…Biz Urban

The photo of attending authors, including Yours Truly, made the April 5th Picture of the Day in PW Daily. Huzzah!
