Guest Appearance - Don't Miss This Blog

Okie dokie all, (like my midwest accent coming through?)...

You want to see this beautiful blog site! Reading Between the Wines Book Club

Now, I'm making some stops at some fabulous blogs that have fabulous reputations. Most of them, though, I was intimately familiar with in one way or another.

This one, however, I stumbled onto while I was looking for additional review sites and erotic romance fans. It's just too damned beautiful!

I think though what really struck me is, I've recently been truly induced to wine -- you know, something other than "it's white" "it's red", and I have a favorite wine bar here locally. Reading Between the Wines completely captures that atmosphere for me. Love it, Love it!

Anyway -- Although the Stripped Book Tour does not run on the weekends, today I'm a guest at the amazingly classy Reading Between the Wines Book Club, and I'm sharing exclusive, original content. Not a clip from the book, not an excerpt you've seen before, not something you'll read again. Original content . Please stop in and share your thoughts -- I'd love to see you there!




Also -- as my alter-ego, Claire Ashgrove, the tour is still in full swing over the weekends. Today's stop is at Paranormal Heaven, another beautiful paranormal blog. (Love, love, the purple!)

Stop in, leave a comment, and be entered for up to $50.00 in Amazon Gift Cards!

Dreams Come True

It was almost a year ago that I submitted my manuscript for this "special project" to my agent, with very little heads up about what was going to land on her desk. Almost a year ago that I entered it into the Great Expectations Contest and learned it had become a finalist in Romantic Suspense.

And now... through what I truly consider Divine Intervention, STRIPPED is on the shelves.  Why Divine Intervention?  Because I never envisioned it would be with Berkley Heat.  Yes, I wrote it with a slant for Sensation.  But erotica?  Good grief, I couldn't write those words.

Until my now-editor saw something in the writing that I hadn't fully realized and made an offer on an erotic title.  Convert it?  Daunting.  But Berkley?

You cannot imagine how long I have dreamt of working with Berkley.  And my editor?  Her too.  I used to hunt the RWA contests for where she might be judging... and swore every time, because, infalliably, she was judging something I didn't have an entry for.

So it is with much ado, much grattitude, and much elation that I invite all of you to celebrate with me!  Thank you... everyone.  From the depths of my heart.

Now, add into that dream-come-true the fact that my other book, the story I waited years to tell appropriately, IMMORTAL HOPE, also releases today under my other penname... and yes, I revisit the phrase, "Divine Intervention."

In a little while, I'm off to check out Barnes and Noble, demi-demons in tow, prepped to have their photos taken with my books.  I don't care if it's silly.  I don't care if I cry in public -- I likely will.  My books are here, my dreams have truly begun, and I'm going to grin from ear-to-ear all day long.

Meanwhile, if you're out shopping too, and you see my books on the shelves, drop me a note and let me know where!  I'd love to have a collection of sightings by the end of the day.

In between, or if you're staying out of the cold at home, the Blog Tours continue:

Short Announcement

Well, it's been available on the blogsite for a while now, but I've said nothing formally.  So today's teaser is related to the STRIPPED Blog Tour that begins January 2, 2012

I'm going to be visiting 20 blogs, talking about a lot of different things, and the best part is:

You can win!  Not just a copy of the book. No, the prize is more interesting than that.  But you'll have to check out the tour for details!
