Summer business (& busyness!)
Wow, what a month. Between baseball, end-of-school craziness, and the book release & blog tour, I think the dust is finally beginning to settle. Well, except for the fact that my agent called to let me know book #3 is now due a month earlier, because my publisher would like to schedule 2 books for me in 2010! Yay! But…eek! For the next few months I'm going to be The Little Engine That Could…
I have a GREAT contest in the works! (Hint: It involves my agent and/or a barrel of awesome signed books!)

Definitely Stranger than Fiction
Though my books generally are more about characters than they are about actual historical events, I spend a great deal of time researching the historical backdrop. When I researched A HINT OF WICKED, I spent a lot of time neck-deep in divorce and separation laws of the period, and I read some really interesting case studies! I blogged about one of them today:
Come by to read the wild story of the 3rd Duke and Duchess of Beaufort’s nasty divorce and comment to win a copy

A Hint of Wicked Is Out!
Well…a year and a half after I was offered my first contract from Hachette, A HINT OF WICKED is officially out! You can find it wherever books are sold. I’m so far beyond excited, I don’t even know what to say! I had this dazed, dreamlike moment when I saw my name on the sale tag at Target. Totally, completely surreal…
It’s also my anniversary, so another reason to celebrate! I’m not exactly low maintenance, so it’s a true miracle my husband has put up with me for the past (*cough*) eighteen year

But I’m definitely going to check out some of those other authors! I can’t wait! I lov

Interview with Jackie Barbosa
When Jackie Barbosa, the author of the upcoming erotic historical romance anthology, Behind the Red Door, offered me an early copy of her book, I was so excited! I’d heard great things about her writing, and couldn’t wait to dive in. I read it (devoured it, actually) as quickly as my nutty schedule would allow, and Jackie certainly didn’t disappoint! I thoroughly enjoyed all three stories.
JH:Can you tell me a little about how you sold BEHIND THE RED DOOR to Kensington?
JB: Mostly, it was pure
