I’m so thrilled by all the snazzy shirts and hysterical top ten lists! Thank you all so much for contributing your time and ingenuity to the Official Pink Carnation T-Shirt Project, in both its forms. The winners of the ARCs of The Mischief of the Mistletoe, chosen at random from among the entrants, are…. – [...]

It ain’t over… until the author wakes up tomorrow morning. If you have a late night burst of inspiration tonight for either Mini-Contest #2 (designing the official Pink T-shirt) or the mini-contest in the Mini-Contest (coming up with a top ten list for the back of the T-shirt), feel free to put in that last [...]

You may have noticed that the Have Author Will Travel panel on the side bar has been updated to reflect new places, dates, and times. Debuting in its new, permanent place on the Diversions page, we also have the Pink Carnation Playlists, musical accompaniment for each Pink book, with your suggestions as well as my [...]

Like “How To Lose a Spy in Ten Days” or “You Know You’re Obsessed with the Pink Carnation When….” So I’m adding another level to the contest. (Insert evil laughter here.) For those of you not artistically inclined, here’s your chance to score an [...]

The reviews are coming in for the new edition of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation– and they really couldn’t be lovelier. “This fantastic story offers a snapshot of history that is sexy, fun, intriguing and, more than anything, undeniably swashbuckling,” opines Quill Book Reviews. The review goes on to call The Secret History [...]

I am very, very glad that I decided to choose a winner at random, since I don’t believe I could have narrowed my choice to just one. Thank you all so much for your thrilling plot-lines for Miss Gwen’s long-awaited Gothic masterpiece. I’m sure she would be very appreciative– if she weren’t Miss Gwen. (Gratitude [...]
