Paper-y Thingies!

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Late breaking news: Two L is now available in book form! You can order it directly from Amazon. I also have a surprise to announce. Several people have asked me for a paper version of Ivy & Intrigue: A Very Selwick Christmas. Once I got the hang of the self-publication platform for Two L… well, [...]

Give the Gift of MISTLETOE

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

It may only be the last day of August, but the Halloween gear is already out in the stores and I have a pumpkin latte in my hand. Correction: I had a pumpkin latte in my hand. Now it’s just an empty paper cup. But I digress. The point is that the holidays are just [...]

If You Like….

Monday, August 29th, 2011

If you like Elizabeth Peters’ Vicky Bliss books, you’ll probably also like… – Kasey Michaels’ Maggie series, starting with Maggie Needs an Alibi. Michaels’ Saint Just has more than a little in common with Peters’ “Sir” John Smythe. – Donna Andrews’ Murder with Peacocks, largely because the narrator’s voice reminds me a lot of Vicky’s. [...]

Now On the Shelves

Monday, August 29th, 2011

I feel a bit like the Count who counts: one, one book release! Two, two book releases! Appearing on shelves today, we have the UK edition of The Temptation of the Night Jasmine: Meanwhile, on Nooks and Kindles, we have my law school satire, Two L, where Measure for Measure meets Harvard Law: There will [...]

Bad Weather Reading

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

With the hurricane a-coming, I sped up the publication of the “e” versions of Two L. You can find it on both Nook and Kindle. (The print edition won’t be up for a few days more.) Stay safe, everyone!

Two L

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

As you know, my law school novel, Two L, will be coming out on Kindle and Nook in (eek!) five days. Here’s the exciting news: it will also be available as a book book– or, to quote the immortal words of Blackadder, a big papery thingy. Two L will be available for purchase on Amazon [...]

If You Like….

Monday, August 22nd, 2011

If you like Judith McNaught, you’ll probably also like…. – Gaelen Foley’s The Duke or Devil Takes a Bride, featuring those trademark innocent heroines and tortured heroes; – Lisa Kleypas’ Secrets of a Summer Night, whose entrepreneurial hero reminds me quite a bit of Jason from Once and Always; – Elizabeth Stuart’s Heartstorm (with apologies, [...]

The Mistletoe Tour!

Saturday, August 20th, 2011

This November, I’ll be zig-zagging around the country to celebrate Turnip’s paperback debut. On November 1, I’ll be celebrating Mistletoe Publication Day with an event at the Mysterious Bookstore in New York with two of my favorite people: Deanna Raybourn and Tasha Alexander. On November 5th, I’ll be reading at the Book Cove in Pawling, [...]

Weekly Reading Round-Up

Friday, August 19th, 2011

On the fiction side, I was on a bit of a Susan Elizabeth Phillips kick this week. From Natural Born Charmer, it was an easy move to Match Me If You Can, and from there to This Heart of Mine. I know, I know. I was reading through the series backwards. What can I say? [...]

Literature Map

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

Yesterday, in the If You Like comments, Amy N mentioned the Literature Map. I hadn’t heard of it before, but I clicked on the link, and, voila!, there it was: an If You Like on a grand scale. How cool is that? I’m not sure I agree with all their suggestions, but some, like Deanna [...]
