Hey all!

Today I'm hanging with the Romance Bandits, talking about Facebook and other social networking sites. Stop by and comment for a chance to win an autographed copy of STOLEN FURY!

In other fun news...

I got a GREAT review from The Chicago Tribune yesterday for STOLEN FURY, and was tickled pink to see my name in the headline with Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Jayne Ann Krentz, Jennifer Cruise, Connie Brockway and Anne Stuart. Totally made my day.

I also had a fun (and fabulous!) review posted at Closetwriter, which you should definitely check out.

And finally...for those of you waiting for Shane's book...I found out last week that STOLEN SEDUCTION is going to be a January 2010 release! I'm very excited about this news and can't wait to see what the art department does with the cover in the last STOLEN book.

Happy reading!

Good news on a Tuesday!

STOLEN FURY won 1st place in the Romantic Suspense category of the Judge A Book By Its Cover Contest!

Big kudos to the art department at Dorchester!!!

Also, I'm the guest over at Romance Writers on the Journey, and we're giving away three different prizes, one of which is an autographed copy of STOLEN FURY. Stop by and comment today to be entered in the drawing!

Catch Up Post

I just realized it's been over a week since I blogged. Where does the time go?

I've been swamped this week with this and that, but I have a few things to share:

1) Are you following Karin Tabke's 1st Line Contest? Two of my good friends are still in the running, Kendra Elliot and Karen Duvall. I'm cheering for you, ladies!!!

2) I was the guest speaker last Tuesday night at the Willamette Writers February Meeting. Attendance was great, my talk went well (I had no idea I'd be on a stage with a microphone!) and people seemed to get a lot out of it. (Topic was Stealing Time To Write). Big, big, BIG thanks to all the authors who participated in my survey and shared their experiences and words of wisdom. I used quotes from all of you and had your book covers on various slides. If nothing else, I totally plugged romance to a group of (primarily) non-romance writers.

The only bad part about the presentation is that I'd been nursing a cold the weekend before and it hit me hard Tuesday. About halfway through the presentation I went into a coughing jag and nothing I did could stop the coughs. My throat was bone dry, even water didn't help. (too much talking). Luckily, though, a man in the back of the room (ironically, his name was Angel) came running up with a cough drop and saved the day. If it weren't for Angel and his cough drop, I don't think I'd have been able to get through the rest of the talk. So, Angel, thank you!!!! My good friend, Lisa, took lots of pics, so hopefully I'll have some to post soon.

3) I finally got my website updated. I was having serious programming issues, but those are now resolved, and my website is all up to date with my new cover for STOLEN HEAT and other fun stuff.

4) If you're going to be in Washington DC this summer for the RWA National Convention, be sure to catch the workshop I'll be participating in - High Octane Kisses - which focuses on putting emotion into action scenes. I'll be on a panel with agent Laura Bradford and authors Ann Aguirre and Carrie Lofty.

and finally,

5) On my website I've now posted the Epilogue to Stolen Fury! If you've read the book, head over and check out the epilogue for a peek at what's to come in the next two books in the trilogy.

And just for fun...

This is the DH and I in Reno last weekend for the Super Bowl. We had a great time, but didn't win any money. ;)
