Tastes of Love and Evil re-release and Round Robin!

I've been overwhelmed lately, so I forgot my blog. I seem to do that a lot. Just not my strong point...

But anyway, I have two bits of news. One, Tastes of Love & Evil has been re-released in paperback by Montlake Romance. Considering the crazily high prices out there for secondhand copies (over $100 sometimes), this is excellent news. People who prefer reading on paper can now get it at a reasonable price.

 

Other bit: I'm participating in another Harlequin Historical round robin. It's a time travel story, which goes on throughout the month of March. Today my chapter (Chapter Eleven) is up. I ventured a thousand years into the past -- something I've always wanted to do. It was dark, scary, and smelly back there, but I'm planning to go back again at the end of the story. :)


(And only two weeks to go until The Magic of His Touch comes out! :~)))

Harlequin Historical Holiday Giveaway

It's time for my favorite contest of the year -- the Harlequin Historical Holiday Giveaway. It's also time for a bunch of other stuff, so I'm totally hyper right now. It's a good kind of hyper, though.

Here's the calendar -- 18 days of contests, a different author each day, and at the end, the Grand Prize of a Kindle Fire.

To get to a live calendar with links to all the author sites, click on the calendar or the link above. To read the rules, go here.

My day is December 11th, and I'll be giving away a $25 gift certificate to Amazon or Barnes & Noble, winner's choice, as well as a download of one of my e-novellas -- again, winner's choice. My contest will be open from the 11th to the 21st.


The more days you enter, the more chances you have to win prizes... Good luck, and have fun!

It's time for another fabulous giveaway hop from Reading Romances. A bunch of Harlequin Historical authors (including me) are participating in this one.

To learn more about the Harlequin Historical prizes, go to the Harlequin Historical Authors blog, where Michelle Styles has spelled it all out and set up a rafflecopter for you to enter.

After that, go to Reading Romances and find out about all the other participating blogs and the prizes they're offering.

There are many ways to enter and many prizes to win, so once you've stuffed yourself with turkey and pumpkin pie, hop on over (even thinking about hopping after a turkey dinner makes me queasy...so maybe roll on over...crawl on over...thank heavens it's all virtual) and enter.

And now I'm off to make Glorified Cabbage and Asparagus Casserole. Happy Thanksgiving, all!

Twelve Harlequin Historical authors (including me) are participating in a spotlight in the Harlequin Community this week. There's a great discussion going. Ask questions of your favorite authors and join in -- it's fun. Just go to the Harlequin Historical Spotlight Discussion. Here's the URL spelled out if you need it:

Also, if you're looking for Christmas recipes, try the Harlequin Christmas Cookie Recipe Exchange. There are already a bunch of great recipes there. I posted my grandmother's recipe for Cherry Slice (aka Cherry Squares), one of my favorite Christmas treats. Here's the URL spelled out:
