...at The Romance Review's Year-End Splash (YES!) Party Saturday, December 1 in the Q & A portion of the contest. I don't know which number the question (of the dozen or so each day) will be. Why not play them all? Each answer gives you more "clicks" toward the (torturously addictive) cover memory game, which, in turn, offers opportunities to win the grand prize (and free downloads of every question you answer correctly). You do have to be registered to play and win. There are over 300 prizes, including a grand prize $100 Amazon gift certificate. The party runs through December 15th. Good luck!

Finally Available in iBooks!
Hurrah! Finding Grace is finally available to download directly from iBooks to iPads, iPod touch, and iPhones. The first three chapters can be downloaded as a sample.
That's the good news. The bad news is that it's listed under "Suspense" rather than "Romance." While Finding Grace does have a good share of suspense, it is definately first and foremost a romance. But, hey, at least it's up there for people who are looking for it :>).
