Let There Be Prizes
It's the six-week countdown to the April 27 release of Mistress by Mistake, so it's got to be #MistressMonday on Twitter! Now, I'm not really a big Tweeter, but I do know Twitter is replacing blogging as the way to get the word out. So every Monday between now and release day, I'll be giving away 2 copies of Mistress by Mistake to 2 random people who tweet whatever they'd like, as long as they include the hashtag #MistressMonday. That means 12 books are up for grabs (yes, I know you can...

Quickies, Lengthened
March 16th additions to this post: you can "look inside" Mistress by Mistake on Amazon now! Woohoo! I love the "surprise me" feature where I can try to figure out the plot so far, LOL.
I got my first review on Goodreads from a "perfect stranger" who won my book at Tiff's Toronto RWA chapter, and she is perfect indeed. Here's what she said:I really enjoyed this. The characters are charming, the plot sexy and fun. The sex scenes (and there are a good number!) are frank and earthy, not purple...

March Mudness
No, that's not a typo. My dooryard is awash in mud, grit, ice, melted snow, unmelted snow and general yuck. We've had wacky weather lately and have lost power for long and short periods, resulting in two unpaid days off from school for me. I can't decide what is worse—no hot bath or no computer access. Last week I reluctantly crawled out from under three blankets and drove around town to get warm, grab some tea at a take-out window (my hair was too hideous to go inside) and charge up my...

An Adjustment Period
Well, I'm home, but my brain is definitely still on vacation. For those of you waiting for me to send out a newsletter and post my contest, please wait just a tiny bit longer. (Breaking news! Correction! Newsletter has been sent and check the Contest page. I'm rallying…slowly.) I'm finding it disorienting to be back at work—it's like the week off wiped away all my library skills, LOL.
And now that I'm in my own cozy writing room, I have page proofs to read of Margaret Rowe's Tempting Eden to k...

Cruising Along
I finished Not Quite a Courtesan and sent it off. NQAC is a novella which will be part of the Kensington Brava anthology Lords of Passion in December 2010. (A perfect Christmas present!) I am absolutely thrilled to be sharing the same cover with Virginia Henley and Kate Pearce! It was a lot of fun to write, and I hope my editor likes it. Here's a snippet where Darius and Pru meet:
The man on the step was tall. Dark. Too handsome. "You!" she said. "I am glad you are here. We have business to...

More fun stuff! Every day brings something I never dared to expect. Linkage ahead.
From Katiebabs, a picture of her demon sheep King Mho enjoying a snuggle in a slanket with Mistress by Mistake. I could not embed it, but just click on over to Katie's site and scroll down. I'll still be here when you come back.

New News
I was going to put an exclamation point in the title, but noticed I've gone a little overboard lately in my exclaiming in the headings below. So I'll be nice and calm, although life has been one lovely exclamation point after the next lately. I recently celebrated my wedding anniversary (as my mother in law so famously declared at our January wedding, "And they don't even have to get married!"), arcs have been mailed out to prize winners and reviewers, and I'm almost done with the novella...
