Since I blogged last…
Um, the seasons changed!
Also…
I went to England!
My eldest started first grade! *sob*
Goddess of the Hunt came out in Russian!
Booklist mentioned me as one of the "new stars of historical romance" – woot! (If you're looking for new historical authors, be sure to check out that list.)
And I've received so much lovely reader mail. I've noticed a few common questions cropping up, so I thought I'd go ahead and post answers here for anyone else who might be wondering.

What Happens in Florida…
…is finally on my blog!
Okay, here comes the overdue conference wrap-up!
So, I did not win the Regency Historical RITA on Saturday night – that honor (most deservedly) went to Julia Quinn for What Happens in London. I was so elated to see her get her third RITA and instant induction into RWA's Hall of Fame, I honestly didn't feel the least bit disappointed. What I felt was hungry, and, in the absence of any lingering nerves, finally able to enjoy my dessert. 
The conference was wonderful...

July, 2010
Today, July 27th, my sixth book Three Nights with a Scoundrel, hits the shelves–exactly 364 days after the release of my 2009 debut, Goddess of the Hunt. To say it's been a whirlwind year would be a vast understatement! I fly out today to cap it with a wonderful week at the Romance Writers of America conference in Orlando, where Surrender of a Siren is a finalist for the RITA award. Unbelievable. I feel blessed and so grateful to all my family, friends, and readers. Thank you!
Release Day! Three Nights is in stores today
Hooray! Three Nights with a Scoundrel, the final installment in the Stud Club trilogy, is in stores today! I wish I could be online more, but I'm traveling today from California to Florida for the RWA conference, so I'll be in transit for most of the day. But I want to say thank you to everyone who has been reading this trilogy and looking forward to Julian and Lily's story–I hope you enjoy it!

Desires winner and RWA preview
Congrats to Babs, lucky #15 as drawn by Random.org. You win the prize package of three autographed Silhouette Desires! Please use the contact form to send me your mailing address. Congratulations!
I'm packing my bags for RWA as I type… well, okay. Not exactly as I type, because I am not that good at multitasking. Let's just say the room is a mess.
As always, I am so excited to be attending National Conference – this year in Orlando, Florida! Conference means getting to see old...

Win Your Desire(s)
Last week was my local RWA chapter meeting, and I had the pleasure of signing books with several of our chapter's published authors. What struck me was that three of them all had Silhouette Desire books out this month!
If you've read books from the Desire line (or even looked at the titles), you know the heroes are usually super high-powered businessmen. They have wealth, power, and of course, good looks…everything but the right woman in their lives. I don't know about you, but I can...

New excerpt posted!
Or maybe I should just say, longer excerpt posted?
Anyhow, I can't believe it's just one week until the release of Three Nights with a Scoundrel! I previously had part of Chapter One posted as an excerpt, but this morning I've expanded it to all of Chapter One. So a few more pages to tease you. Click here to read it!
Summer has been keeping me so busy, but I'm going to make up for my lack of blogging with some great giveaways. Look for a particularly desirable contest tomorrow. (That's a ...

Nook News
A few days ago, a very alert reader wrote to let me know that Goddess of the Hunt wasn't available for the Nook (Barnes and Noble's e-reader), even though all my other books were. But when I tried to email this very alert reader back, the return email bounced.
So for the benefit of all and sundry, I will post the reply here. I've emailed my publisher, and they are on the case…hopefully GotH for Nook will be available soon! Thank you for your patience.
Speaking of patience, the last few...

Twice Tempted is in stores today!
Hooray, it's release day! Twice Tempted by a Rogue, book two in the Stud Club trilogy is in stores today. Sooo exciting! You can read the first chapter and find buy links here. You can enter to win an autographed copy here.
This book was a challenge for me in many ways. Rhys is by far my most tortured hero yet, and Meredith needed to be a strong, resourceful heroine to be his match. But the joy of writing the book was in developing these two strong individuals and letting them reveal...
