My New Cover and the Advent Calendar Giveaway

Starting November 30^th, Harlequin Historical authors are having another holiday giveaway! We had so much fun last year that we just had to do it again. Each participating author chose a day on the calendar to run her own individual contest, and there’s also a grand prize from all entries throughout the contest – a Kindle Fire! For the contest calendar, go here. For the rules, go here. The more days you enter, the better your chance of winning the Kindle Fire!

Here's the cover for my January Undone! They painted the hero's hair red just for me. :) This is the sequel to The Wanton Governess, and it was so much fun to write. ;~))

Argh! Testing to see if all my setups are gone

I'm late as usual remembering to post things here, but since some of my Facebook setups have disappeared, I will post anyway to see if this post shows up there. Or on Twitter. Or both!

Today, I'm having fun at Ellis Vidler's Unpredictable Muse talking about taking my Muse for a ride.

This month, I'm a spotlighted author at Nights and Weekends. Thank you, Margaret Marr!

The Wanton Goveness -- Release Day!

Today is release day for my new Regency e-novella, The Wanton Governess! Pompeia, the heroine, was a hoot to write, and the cover conveys her nature beautifully. (Kudos to Harlequin's art department:)). I've posted an excerpt in two places today, at the Pink Fuzzy Slipper Writers and the Harlequin Historical Authors blog. (Same excerpt, different sorts of blogs. The Pink Fuzzies blog on all sorts of random topics as well as their books; the Harlequin historical authors post lots of cool stuff about history. Take your pick, if you'd like a peek into Pompeia's wanton heart!)

The Wanton Governess is available for purchase at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million, eHarlequin, and other places where e-books are sold.

New Cover -- Test Post

I never know whether my covers will post properly first go on Blogger. Sometimes the colors are all skewed!
Anyway, here's the cover of my new Undone, to be out August 1st:
