Pink the Paperback officially makes its British debut today!

Look for it at Waterstone’s and WH Smith. My spies across the Pond inform me that it’s part of their summer sales.

What would I do without foreign editions to keep me entertained? The paperback version of the UK edition of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation comes out this July. My fabulous British publisher just sent me an early version of the cover picture.

Pretty, no? I can’t wait to see [...]

For those who were trying to track down The Secret History of the Pink Carnation in the original hardcover, it looks like fresh copies are currently available through Barnes & Noble. Get ‘em while they last!

p.s. congrats to Rebecca W and Jillian B for winning the book give-away on All About Romance!

Pop over to Access Romance tomorrow (well, today already in some time zones) for a [...]

Little did Lord Richard Selwick realize when he set out to attain fame and glory that, one day, he would become… yarn.
A friend of mine just passed on this link from Etsy. It was too, too cool not to share. The Purple Gentian now has his very own shade of merino wool. [...]

… here’s a real Pink Carnation artifact: the Lost Cover of Pink I.
