While the temperatures are dropping outside, things are heating up on the website!  I hope you take a few moments to look around.  Let me give you a rundown on all that’s happening.

REDEEMING THE ROGUE, my August release, is getting some great buzz.  It’s been nominated by Romantic Times book reviews for a critic’s choice award, 2011 Best Innovative Historical Romance.  How cool is that?  The winner won’t be announced until April of 2012, but this is one of those awards where it is an honor to be nominated.  Seriously.  All the other finalists have “bestseller” after their names.  I’m hoping it’s a sign .  Don’t forget a deleted scene is up on the website – it’s a scene intended for REDEEMING THE ROGUE that you can only read here.

I recently received the cover for THE CASANOVA CODE which is slotted for a June 2012 release.  Check out the cover and an excerpt chosen to whet your appetite.  CASANOVA CODE launches a new series called “The Rake Patrol” based on Victorian personal ads – yes, such things existed back then.  Hope you take a few minutes to take a peek.  I’m working hard on the second book in the series now.

Some of you might recall TAILS OF LOVE, a collection of short stories that feature animals, that was released a few years ago.  All the author proceeds from that book went to a no-kill animal shelter.  I’m pleased to announce that this anthology has been  released this December as a mass market paperback.  My story, Lord Hairy, is the only historical in the collection – but a fine collection it is.  Take a look!

Finally, let me give a shout out to Ginny Casano, the winner of the Irish locket.  I’m planning a new contest for January and looking around for a good prize.  Be sure to check back for details.
