Winners Announced!!!

OMG, you all are SO great! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all the awesome discussion group questions! You came up with some really thought-provoking discussion points that I never in a million years would have come up with. YOU ROCK!!!!

Okay, so…because there were so many entries, I added extra prizes. Including another ARC and more totes. And with the totes will come some extra little goodies.

Last time I selected winners, I made my son do it, since he was grounded and I had hundreds ...

Wanna Win A Sin Undone ARC?

[image error] Hi everyone!

Well, I need your help. I've been asked to provide book club questions for a reader's guide for Ecstasy Unveiled and Sin Undone. Very cool! Problem is, I have no idea what to ask, so that's where you come in.

I know you probably haven't read Sin Undone yet, so it's hard to come up with discussion questions to provide for a reader's group to discuss after they've read the book, but I'm still open to anything you can come up with. If you haven't read either book, simply say so i...

New Covers and Lori Foster's Event!

Hi everyone!

I was supposed to post yesterday, but got busy with last-day-of-school stuff, so I'm a little late.

Anyway, the Lori Foster event was awesome! Getting up at 4:45 AM to drive down to Ohio was not awesome, but the trip was great. I picked up Barbara Vey and Amy Knupp in Milwaukee, and we (well, I) had fun on the drive. Amy and I were like freaking Lucy and Ethel, so it was a good thing we had Barbara with us, even though I'm pretty sure we scared her to death (the way Amy's...

Welcome Zoe Winters!

Hi everyone!

I'm back from Lori Foster's! I'll share more about that tomorrow, because today I wanted to introduce you to an author I've known for years now — I remember when she got her first cover…it was so cool!

So anyway, here's Zoe Winters!

Until Next Week…

Well, Eternal Rider is handed in to my editor, my hair is freshly colored dark brown, blond, and bright pink, and I'm off to the Lori Foster weekend in Cincinnati! If you happen to be in the area on Saturday, there's a huge, public booksigning, and I'd love to meet you!

***updated to add…we made it! And Barbara Vey of Publisher's Weekly blogged about our road trip. It was definitely an adventure! Here's the link!

Take care, have a great weekend, and read lots!

Hugs,

Worth The Splurge

I love shoes. What woman doesn't? Okay, I'll admit, shoes were never a big deal to me in the past — shove on a pair of serviceable sneakers, and I was good to go.

But then something happened. No, I'm not sure what. Just…one day I decided I liked shoes. The problem is that I tend to be a bit of a miser. So I would buy shoes, but heaven forbid they cost more than $30. And even then, I was like, ugh…I want to pay 14.99 or less.

The problem is that cheap shoes, while they might look great, are...

Guest Author Day: Kait Nolan

Hey everyone!

Every once in a while I'm lucky enough to score an author who is willing to let me be lazy and not post something of my own, and today I'm happy to introduce you to Kait Nolan. Who blames me for…well, if you read on, you'll see.

Welcome, Kait!

A favorite question of readers is always what the big idea was behind a book or series. It's hard to answer that question about my debut paranormal romance novella Forsaken By Shadow without talking about the book that came before—a...

We Have a Title!

Just got word that the sixth Sydney Croft book has a title! Which means cover copy and a cover will come soon. Yay!

Anyway, joining the lineup of ACRO books will be TAKEN BY FIRE, and it's scheduled for late spring/early summer of next year. Now we just have to get the book finished!

Hope everyone is doing well! I'm heading back into the deadline cave…
