Fiancé by Friday: A Great Stand Alone

So thinks Liz over at Blogging by Liza, She says:

"Even though this is the third book in the Weekday Brides series, I personally think it stand alone very well. I will go back and read the first two books, so I can see their HEAs, but if you have just discovered this series, you will be fine starting with this book."

There is also a great interview by Snarky Mom Reads HERE.

Houston, we have books on a shelf!

I know what you're probably thinking...

What's the big deal? Right?

Well folks...here is the big deal. When I set out to publish my work I naturally thought said books would be on a shelf at any number of bookstores throughout the land. Only that didn't happen. Not that hundreds of thousands of copies weren't sold and those books enjoyed by too many people to count. But, (it's a big but) NEVER, EVER have my books been on a shelf throughout the land for just anyone to happen upon and purchase.

Until now!

I went to my local Sams Club today after seeing that some of my books had made it on the shelf there in other parts of the country and there it was... Married by Monday, the second book of my Weekday Bride Series was happily sitting on the shelf saying 'buy me'!

Yes, the tag showing the price was well under seven bucks covered up my last name, but do I care? Hell no! My book is on a shelf. And at Sams Club. That's huge folks. If you're browsing the book shelf at Sams you know the books there are already bestsellers. Which Married by Monday is. But damn! I'm there!

And hell yeah it feels good.

And I do hope that every author out there has a chance in the life to experience the thrill of seeing their work on a shelf.

I really do!

Release Day for Fiance by Friday

It's HERE!

Finally, Fiance by Friday is here and on the shelf. Yeah, as in the shelf. I'm told you will find print copies in select Sams Clubs. Wow!

If you haven't already picked this up...here is the blurb.

Gwen Harrison:
The beautiful, high-born daughter of an English duke came to America to take over her sister-in-law’s matchmaking business. But just because she’s the boss doesn’t mean she can’t fantasize about making her own perfect match with bodyguard Neil MacBain. Will the enigmatic man who haunts her dreams cost her more than she bargained for?
Neil MacBain:
The retired Marine can’t deny the effect blue-blooded Gwen has on his troubled soul or his battle-hardened body. But as a client, Gwen is off-limits—until a threat from Neil’s past returns…and Gwen is caught in the crossfire. Now to keep her safe he will risk it all: his career, his life…and his heart.

I'm featured on two blogs today... 

Swept Away by Romance
A Chick who Reads

C'mon over and wave.

Oh, and... I have an all day release party taking place on Facebook. Lot's of giveaways.
