Hi Janean, I think those links are fixed. We just had a sale go
through our site. Give it a go again, if you'd like, either that, or
you can find us at ebookad.
So you're enjoying Harper and Jo? Inquiring minds want to know!

Dang right!!! I plan on Champagne being my first bunch of women. <BG> I think the way it's generally done is that they interview authors who has a book out in that month. I just barely joined their group of moderators for the web, so I still haven't been given any instructions. Hopefully today.
LOL. It isn't very hard, Marie! I do it for a group's newsletter as well as reviews. (Which I am behind on b/c of this flu. Errr...) It really is fun to talk and find out about other authors. :)

Are you planning to give the readers more than just a couple sentences for the blurbs? As a reader and buyer I like to know more about the book in the blurb to get an overall view of what the book is about.

That's why I've been trying to get my name put on the schedule for reviews - since I have two stories coming out in April. I don't even know if I've got the job yet. We'll see...and if I do, I'll let you know.

"Lady Jenna Ashton and Lord Cole Hamilton are married in name only.
Abandoned, practically from the alter, Jenna waits two years before
seeking out her husband for an annulment. But he has more in his
closet than disguises from his investigation business.
Besides finding himself unexplainably attracted to his wife, he has
been framed for a crime he didn't commit. The estranged couple is
forced to seek refuge in an old castle, the beastly master of which
has plans of his own.
Jenna is swept into a whirlwind of mystery, passion and adventure,
but will she discover the truth of her own heart before it's too
late?"

A Sister's Secret By Lori Derby Bingley
Brooke Rawlings's life is turned upside down after the death of her sister. Brooke's life as a
tough investigative reporter hasn't prepared her for the challenge of being the guardian of her teenaged nephew Jeremy. When he withdraws from everyone, Jeremy's oh-so- attractive-but-arrogant teacher, Matthew Grant, is concerned that Jeremy is involved with drugs. While investigating Jeremy's behavior, Brooke and Matthew uncover surprising information about her sister's death and the disappearance of another student. She soon comes to realize there was much more to her sister than met the eye. Can she unravel the web of secrets and lies and find happiness with the man at the top of her suspect list?
Stolen Son By Fran Shaff
Ella Mason has gone through the motions of living for five years. Ever since her newborn son Mica was taken from his crib in the hospital, she's given up on hope and love. Then Rafe Wallace walks into her life. Her heart begins to beat with an urgency she thought
long dead. Ella lets herself start to care for the man she hires to do household repairs even though she suspects he has a secret. But she never dreams his secret would bring back her son or chase away her chances for love.
Harper's Treasure By Jennifer Lynn
Buried treasure lies where `X' marks the spot, and Jolene plans to find it. With the help of one annoying computer geek, she is able to outwit and outmaneuver her former lover through one adventure after another. Little does she know that the geek has romance on his mind, when he finds himself attracted to the feisty brunette.
With tropical storms, pirates and an old nemesis hot on their trail, Jackson proves little by little that he is anything but a nerd, and helps Jo find the greatest treasure of all…love.

Hi everyone
I plan to start up a long overdue and reasonably regular author's
enewsletter - say once a month/every six weeks or so, and hope to
have the first edition out early in Feb.
If anyone would like to go on the mailing list please send me an
email at joaniemacneil@... and put newsletter in the
subject line.
Champagne authors are most welcome to send me snippets of promo for
inclusion in the newsletter. :)
Regards
Joan
w/a Joanie MacNeil - joanie@...http://www.bookswelove.net/macneil.html
Life is a big canvas. Throw all the paint on it you can.
Champagne is working feverishly to prepare for the April launch! Our
authors and editors are completing final edits on their titles, and
the Art Director has signed off on all the cover art. Promotional
materials will be going out to the authors soon.
We are currently plotting and scheming about our ebook-of-the-month
club and have finally put a name to it. The Champagne Connoisseur
Club will go live late March (so subscribers will be able to receive
their two books before anyone else!). We are also in deep planning
for our launch party at the Romance Studio, March 31. Can't spill
all the details yet, but I can promise that it will be a fantastic
event.
