A new heart and a fun contest!

First, I would like to apologize for not keeping my Goodreads page updated. I've been very ill since my heart attack Christmas Day 2008. The good news is that I received a new heart December 22, 2010. It's only been three months, but already I'm so much better! Don can't keep up with me anymore. Well, okay, he injured his foot, but still. . . . I'm doing splendid, as Frances Hart would say.

Now for the fun part! I've updated my Facebook page, and am running a special contest there. Since it is book related, I thought I would post about it here, so that all of you will have a chance to participate. The contest is called: Find Michael at Shutterstock.com! The winner will receive autographed copies of THE LOVER and GABRIEL'S WOMAN in their language of choice (American English, German or Spanish). It's very simple to enter the contest; all you need do is find the photograph you think best represents Michael (THE LOVER and GABRIEL'S WOMAN) at www.shutterstock.com, and post a link to the picture on my Facebook page.

I hope to see you there!

Thanks, Laura! It's so good to feel good! And to start getting my feet wet in the publishing pool.

Laura Wright We've missed you! The writing and the championing of women's issues:)


message 4: by Robin (new)

Robin Schone Awww, thanks, Laura. Sometimes I think readers wish I would just hurry up already with the women's/men's issues and go directly to the hot stuff. It's nice to know that you appreciate the issues. :-)

Mitzi I’m thrilled to hear you are doing so well!!! I love all your books and sure hope you’ll be writing again soon.


message 6: by Robin (new)

Robin Schone Thank you, Mitzi! My transplant coordinating nurse made it very clear last Tuesday that it was the team's goal to have me back writing! I don't think they'll take no for an answer. ;-)

Seriously, I am slowly but surely wading back into the publication pond. Hopefully I will soon have great news to share. :-)


message 7: by KatLynne (new)

KatLynne I am so glad to hear that you are doing so well and hope you continue to improve each day until you are fully recovered! I love your writing and every book is a keeper and favorite. I believe my first book was Scandalous Lovers and I immedietely went out and purchased all others from your backlist:) You have an amazing talent. Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery!


message 8: by Robin (new)

Robin Schone Thank you so much for both your well-wishes and your very kind compliments, KatLynne. How honored I am to know that all my books are keepers for you. As the saying goes: "It does my heart good." :-)


message 9: by Mitzi (new)

Mitzi I would love to get your books in ebook format (even though I own them all in paper back/hard cover)…They are my favorites!!! Do you know if they will be available as digital (kindle, etc) ebooks anytime soon?


Carol Cork *Young at Heart Oldie* Robin, I'm so pleased to hear that you are doing so well. You had your transplant on my birthday, December 22, so I'm sure that must be a good omen. I don't tend to read much erotica but you and Kate Pearce are exceptions. The Lady's Tutor, The Lover and Gabriel's Woman are all on my keeper shelf.

Wow. You own paperback and hard cover?! And would like them in eBook format? Thank you, Mitzi! My heart is feeling very good, indeed. :-)

Some of my books are available in eBook format:
The Lady's Tutor
Scandalous Lovers
"The Men & Women's Club" (PRIVATE PLACES anthology)
Cry for Passion

I know one other book will be made available in eBook format, but there my knowledge stops. Alas, I have no control over the process. But I will keep you informed via my website, Goodreads and Facebook when others become available!

Happy belated birthday, Carol! My transplant doctors say that I now have two birthdays. I just tell them don't forget the presents! ;-)

Seriously, I'm glad I share a birthday with you. And so very glad TLT, TL and GW are on your keeper shelf.
