A hasty, ill-advised marriage to a fiendish rake, a doomed devotion between a handsome young priest and the lovely, desperate girl he’s befriended… No, not Collen McCullough’s THE THORN BIRDS but A LONG FATAL LOVE CHASE by Louisa May Alcott. Written in 1866 a few years before Alcott’s revered classic, LITTLE WOMEN, A LONG FATAL [...]
OK, so I was dutifully reading Google’s new Privacy Policy Alert, an action clearly undertaken to avoid line edits on my Work in Progress, when I unearthed this blast from the past 2007 video interview on my then new book, STROKES OF MIDNIGHT. The video, made by Pacific TV for the Romance Writers of America [...]
I’d like to start by sharing one of my favorite quotes by another romance writer you may have heard of, Mary Ann Evans. “You’re never too old to be who you might have been.” –George Elliot. You tell ‘em, Mary Ann. 2011 was, in many ways the year in which seeds were sewn for me. [...]
The VANQUISHED e-book giveaway ended as of midnight, and whew what a thrilling ride these two weeks have been! While we’re still waiting on the final numbers, so far across e-reader platforms–B&N, Apple, Amazon, and Sony–VANQUISHED landed in the hands of nearly 40,000 new readers. Nearly 40,000 new readers, some new to the book and [...]
One upon a faraway time, the 1990′s, there was a freelance writer named Hope Tarr. While Hope enjoyed writing articles, her Big Dream was to write books. In 1999, Hope sold A Rogue’s Pleasure, a sexy Regency-set romp and her first book. From then on, she got busy writing books. Really busy. The rest, as [...]
July 14th is Bastille Day, the day set aside for celebrating French independence, or the day Parisians stormed The Bastille, that bastion of l’Ancien Regime. No more Lettres de Cachet, no more near feudal era serfdom, no more aristocrats hoarding all the good food and wine. I’ll be lifting a glass of champers to my [...]
We’re dubbing tonight’s Lady Jane’s Salon as “Super Special” and those are not words that we at Lady Jane’s use lightly. This month we’re departing from our otherwise sacrosanct first Monday of the month time slot to welcome attendees of The Romance Writers of America (RWA) Conference to the Big Apple. To kick off the [...]
Vanquished, the first book in my Men of Roxbury House trilogy, released in France today! Retitled La Rose de Mayfair (literally: The Rose of Mayfair), the book has a fresh new cover to go with the re-imagined name. And yes, mes amies, the book is in French! Arguable French isn’t the only romance language that [...]
Sometimes life is filled with delightful, seemingly random surprises. Coming into our second week of a new year, I’m happy to report that so far 2011 does not disappoint. This weekend I learned that A Rogue’s Pleasure, my Regency set historical romance debut reissued this summer with Carina Press, was up for a Best Book [...]
Many thanks to everyone who took time out from their busy holiday season to turn out for Monday’s Lady Jane’s Salon. Once again we were at standing room only–a fine welcome to the winter holidays, indeed! Our guest readers were Lauren Willig, Jacquie D’Alessandro, and Me! Lauren read from The Mischief of the Mistletoe. As [...]
