Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a pleasant holiday.  Winter arrived full force this past week and the weather guys say we may even see snow today in NC. Great time to be inside reading a book.

I'll be sending a newsletter once a quarter this year. There just isn't enough news to send an update once a month. I have nothing out with publishers right now. I hope to start shopping the next short story by March.  Then the goal is to have something ready to pitch at RWA National in July.  There may not be any new releases from me this year.  We'll just see how it goes.

Romancing February Blog Tour

27 romance authors invite you to participate in a month-long event of love and laughter. Each day starting Feb. 1, 2009 an author will throw a romance party at her blog and host a contest with a prize. The link to the next day's blog location will also be provided at each location. Just drop by and enter the contest. And get ready to heat up the cold wintery days of February. You could win a prize a day!

 

On February 28th, one person will be awarded the grand prize of a $75 WRP gift certificate. All you have to do to enter the grand prize contest is make a list of each author in this blog event and name one title she has available. Submit your list to Christmasrideblog@... by midnight CST, February 27, 2009. The winner will be announced on February 28th--just in time to warm up that person's February.

Begin February 1, 2009 with Amber Leigh Williams.

 

e-book Recommendations

            Mistletoe Magic Series – Breath of Magic by Regina Carlysle, Touch of Magic by Desiree Holt, Whispers of Magic by Cindy Spencer Pape, and Elven Magic by  Regina Carlysle, Desiree Holt, and Cindy Spencer Pape. – All good reads for erotic fun and frolicking with lost loves as the main romantic theme. I do recommend you read the books in order.
