Greetings all!

I've been rather busy behind the scenes these last weeks, putting together a website (finally, eh?) and blog that will both be launching soon, and also organizing a blog tour release party for Anchored: Belonging Book One, coming January 17 from Noble Romance Publishing.

Before I get into the blog tour details (Fun! Prizes! Swag!), I wanted to share the official blurb for Anchored, which was approved this morning:

Network news anchor Daniel Halstrom is at the top of his field, but being at the bottom of the social ladder—being a slave—makes that hard to enjoy. Especially when NewWorld Media, the company who's owned him since childhood, decides to lease him on evenings and weekends to boost their flagging profits.

Daniel's not stupid; he knows there's only one reason a man would pay so much for what little free time he has, and it's got nothing to do with his knowledge of current events. But he's never been made to serve like that before, and he fears he won't survive the experience with his sanity intact.

He finds himself in the home of Carl Whitman, a talk show host whose words fail him time and again when it comes to ordering Daniel to bed. Daniel knows what Carl wants, but it seems as if Carl isn't willing to take it, and Daniel's not willing to give it freely. His recalcitrance costs him dearly, but with patience and some hard-won understanding, love just might flourish where once there'd been only fear and pain. Can Carl become the anchor in Daniel's turbulent life, or will he end up the weight that sinks his slave for good?

Neat, eh? (This is where you nod and smile ;-p) If you liked
Counterpoint, I think you'll enjoy Anchored quite a bit, as they explore a number of similar themes, and also share a thread of darkness. But don't worry: Anchored ends better :D

Now, onto what you really care about: the party!

Details are forthcoming, but for now I'll leave you with this:

The blog tour will run the entire release week, beginning January 17, making one stop each day at a different blog (and potentially multiple stops the first day for a bonus scavenger hunt). You'll find author interviews, character interviews, book reviews, exclusive excerpts, and more. Even better, you'll find swag. Each participating blog will be given an Anchored book swag package to raffle to a commenter. And at the end of the tour, I'll be raffling off some lovely prize packages to readers who commented on every participating blog, including free copies of Anchored and Counterpoint, gift certificates to the Noble Romance Publishing store, and lots of swag.

(If you're a romance blog owner with decent traffic and would like to participate in the blog tour or scavenger hunt, please drop me a message at metarachel (at) gmail (dot) com.)

I'll be posting more details about the party as the date draws near, but meanwhile, mark your calendar and get ready for some blog-hopping fun!
