I’m so excited.  The June 5^th release of The Casanova Code is rapidly approaching.  I have to tell you.  I love this book!  Please be sure to take a peek at the excerpt – you can only read it here on the website.  I haven’t posted it anywhere else.

Romantic Times Bookreviews gave The Casanova Code a 4.5 review .  “MacMeans is known for unique, entertaining, fast-paced stories that shimmer with imaginative plotlines and unforgettable characters.  This is another to add to the readers’ lists of favorites:  lively, witty, sexy and fun, yet tinged with mystery.”   Woohoo!

In honor of the upcoming release, I’m running a contest.  There’s a theme of  cherry blossoms that runs through The Casanova Code.  In the Japanese culture, cherry blossoms are used in paintings to suggest the ephemeral, or short-lived, nature of life.  I’ll let you discover exactly how cherry blossoms are used in The Casanova Code.  But in the meantime register for my newsletter.  I’ll choose a name from the list of newsletter subscribers to win a cherry blossom pendant necklace from the Smithsonian in both May and June.  Good Luck.

 Also, don’t forget some love for Redeeming the Rogue.  This book was nominated for 2011 Most Innovative Historical Romance by RT Bookreviews, the Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence, and the Wisconsin WriteTouch contest.  I once asked a reader what she loved about Redeeming the Rogue and she enthusiastically responded  “The Hero!”  Rafferty is an Irish rogue who is spiffed up by Lady Arianne Chambers so he can impersonate a diplomat.  I wrote this one to keep you turning the pages.  Hope you love it as well.
