Happy New Year!

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Best wishes to all for a wonderful New Year!
See you back here in 2009….

CRIMSON ROSE on the Loose!

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Today is the official release day for Crimson Rose the Paperback!
If you happen to come across it, please do say hello to it for me. I can tell that I’m becoming an old and blase author because I have not yet made the rounds of every bookstore in a twenty block radius [...]

A Very Selwick Christmas: Chapter One

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Welcome to our first installment of An Entirely Gratuitous Selwick Christmas Novella (hmm, really must think of a catchier title).
Back in 1803, it’s Christmas Eve. At the Uppington estate in Kent, all the usual suspects are gathering….

A Bonus Novella for You

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

I’m a little behind with my gift giving this year. Many a month ago, I had the grand idea of writing a short story about Amy and Richard’s first Christmas together and presenting it here, on the website, as a holiday gift to you, my readers. The Temptation of the Night Jasmine opens [...]

Crimson Rose Sighting!

Friday, December 26th, 2008

Even though the official release date for the paperback version of Crimson Rose isn’t until next Tuesday, guess what I saw in Borders today? A whole pile of lovely paperback Crimsons, front and center on the New Fiction rack. So if you’ve been holding out for the paperback, you may just [...]

In the Meantime….

(Check out the comments section for a [...]

The Thing About Tuesdays

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Like all good things, the Tuesday trivia contests had to come to an end (especially since I had run out of advance copies of Night Jasmine). But I find that Tuesday lacks a certain zing without the excuse to hang out here on the Pink Carnation page. So, for the month of January, [...]

Final Tuesday Trivia Winner

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

The time has come. The final ARC is ready to leave home. But to whom will it go?
And the very last of the Night Jasmine ARCs goes to….
*drumroll*
… Jody (of Comment #55)!
Congratulations, Jody!
Thanks so much to everyone for swinging by these past five Tuesdays. Even though the ARCs are [...]

More Happy News

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

The Seduction of the Crimson Rose has been nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewers’ Choice award! It’s perfect timing, too– Crimson Rose the Paperback should be in stores in just under a month. Many hugs to the lovely Romantic Times reviewers and fingers crossed for Crimson Rose!
Now back to our [...]

Final Tuesday Trivia Contest!

Tuesday, December 9th, 2008

There is one last, lonely ARC of Night Jasmine sitting on my kitchen chair. Forlorn and bereft without its brethren, it needs a good home.
So, for the last ARC of Night Jasmine, here’s our final Tuesday question:
Which Pink Carnation character would you most like to see star in his/her own book?
