Scandal Wears Satin: Under the Cover

As promised, more stepbacks, working our way backward in the Dressmakers series. Here's Sophy's smoochy.

Vixen in Velvet: The inside story

A reader asked on Facebook for a peek at the stepback or inside cover of Vixen in Velvet. Now why didn't I think of that? Many readers buy eBooks now, and they don't see the smoochy stepback. So I'll work my way backward through my books over the coming weeks.

Attending New England Chapter Conference? I'll be there.

This weekend I'm spending with romance writers and readers. The Romance Writers of America New England Chapter is holding its Annual Conference in Burlington, MA, at the Burlington Marriott, and I'll be there for the events that don't start too early in the morning, as my nature is not lark-like.

On Saturday 3 May from 4-5:30 PM, I'll join other published writers signing books at the Annual Book Fair for Literacy. This event is open to the public. If you're in the area, I hope you'll stop by...

The Duke of Wellington Tour

On behalf of my friends at Number One London, I'm passing along information about their amazing Duke of Wellington Tour. If you'd like to visit England, but feel hesitant about getting around on your own or have trouble making up your mind where to go and what to see, this might well be the tour for you.

Silk is for Seduction at a sweet price in the UK. How's £0.99?

For years I waited for my new books to become easily available in the UK. For years I wanted to be able to tell my Australian readers, "Yes! You can get the eBook now!"

It's happened. Not only that—and not have Mills & Boon created some luscious covers for my Dressmakers series, but a wonderful Mother's Day promotion* is now in progress, and the first Dressmakers book, Silk is for Seduction, (Marcelline's story) is part of it. The eBook is on sale at a delightful price of £0.99!

Lunch with Kristine Hughes

Adventures in Florida this year included lunch with Kristine Hughes, one half of the Number One London blog team.

Not many days earlier, I had the pleasure of spending time with her blogging partner, Victoria Hinshaw, at the Southwest Florida Romance Writers conference.

It’s always a joy to spend time with another nerdy history girl, and Kristine certainly qualifies. There was not a yawn or a glazed look in the house (not at our table, at least) as we discussed posting and the business of c...

See you in Florida?

If you're planning on attending the Southwest Florida Romance Writers conference on Saturday 15 February, please stop and say hi.

I'll be there for the luncheon and various other events, as well as signing books.

It's always interesting to see the different approaches to cover art in different countries. in this case, we have three very different styles from the same country.

Vixen in Velvet Phase Two Completed

Some wonder why it takes so long from the time the author says the book is DONE to when it appears at a book retailer. It's because of the phases, as mentioned briefly when I turned in the Vixen in Velvet manuscript.

It seems like only yesterday I was celebrating. In fact, it was less than a month ago. Within days it came back to me for Phase Two, the Revisions (tweaking, filling in missing bits, clarifying unclear bits, etc.).

Today’s good news is, that part’s done, too.

Phase Three (coming so...
