Cover Reveal: Hollywood Holiday by Sasha Summers
My lovely anthology sister, Sasha Summers has a new cover! Not only does the talented Ms. Summers have a sci-fi holiday story coming out in A GALACTIC HOLIDAY she also has a contemporary holiday story, HOLLYWOOD HOLIDAY. Huge congrats, Sasha.
All she wants for Christmas is for Hollywood to love her again. But once she meets him, her Christmas list changes.
Jen’s only Christmas wish: Hollywood falling back in love with her. Meeting ex-Marine Gunner was a bonus. She likes that he isn’t impressed by celebrities or the movie biz. She likes that he’s funny and sweet … and drop-dead gorgeous. And she loves that he has no idea who her alter-ego is: Jen Fleming, Hollywood bad-girl and paparazzi target number one. Why ruin an amazing affair when he’s leaving after the new year?
But the closer they get, the harder she falls, and the more she wants to tell Gunner everything. Especially once he shares his secret with her.
Her new Christmas wish: Gunner accepts and loves her for who she really is.
More about Red Carpet Series Book 1: Hollywood Ever After:
She wasn’t meant for movie stars, Hollywood, or happy endings.
And then she met him.
Happy Endings are for fairy tales. Or the movies. Not for real life. At least, not in Claire’s life. Even though she’s starting over, she knows better than to want too much this time. But when she falls, literally, into the strong arms of Hollywood’s ‘it’ boy Josh Wiley, Claire’s in for some surprises. Her plans for rest and relaxation are forgotten as one incredible night with Josh becomes two… And her heart begins to want him as much as her body. Will two kids, one bastard ex-husband, and Josh’s juggernaut career mean the end of their affair? Or can Claire find her happy ending after all?
About Sasha:
Sasha is part gypsy. Her passions have always been storytelling, Hollywood, history, and travel. It’s no surprise that her books include a little of each. Her first play, ‘Greek Gods and Goddesses’ was written for her Girl Scout troupe. She’s been writing ever since. She loves getting lost in the worlds and characters she creates; even if she frequently forgets to run the dishwasher or wash socks when she’s doing so. Luckily, her four brilliant children and hero-inspiring hubby are super understanding and supportive.

RWAus Conference 2012
Image: Gopal VijayaraghavanI'm having an awesome time at the Romance Writers of Australia Conference at Surfers Paradise. Last night was the Harlequin Cocktail Party and today I attended the keynote, panels and workshops. I really enjoyed the screenwriting tips workshop by Alexandra Sokoloff.Best of all I've been catching up with lots of writing buddies including many of the LoveCats. Here are just a few of the fab romance writers I've chatted with today: Rachel Bailey, Robyn Grady, Sue Mackay, Michelle Douglas, Tracey O'Hara, Kylie Griffin and Nicky Strickland.
Tomorrow I'm on the paranormal panel in the afternoon with Alexandra Sokoloff, editor, Monique Patterson, Keri Arthur, Cathleen Ross and Nicola E. Sheridan. We'll be discussing the other things that go bump in the night!
