August 03, 2010 • Thank you for everyone who participated in the fabulous shoe contest and Nook giveaway! I’ve just posted a new contest, so be sure to enter for your chance to win. And please do share with your friends!
• Also check out Eloisa’s new photo from last week’s RWA 2010 Literacy Signing in Orlando, Florida!
July 27, 2010 • A Kiss at Midnight is in bookstores, waiting for you! I do hope you enjoy my version of Cinderella. The Chicago Tribune labeled it “delectably witty,” so with luck you’ll laugh your way through it, and turn the last page with a sigh.
• I hope you’ve enjoyed the Extra Chapters I’ve written for many of my novels—so please jump in and tell me which chapter I need to write for A Kiss at Midnight! Just read the novel in the first month after publication and check in on the Bulletin Board to vote for the chapter I should write.
• My fabulous contest—giving away two Nooks— is in its last days, so don’t forget to enter both on this website and by becoming my fan on Facebook, for a chance to win one of these electronic readers!
• Do check out the New & Next page: I have some very exciting information about what’s up next—a story out in January and a new novel in December!
• Have you explored all the Easter Eggs hidden around the site? I added three new ones just for A Kiss at Midnight—including pictures of my hero and heroine, as well as a picture of one of my favorite characters, Freddie.
July 5, 2010 • The most exciting news is pictured right here on the homepage: my wonderful publisher is giving away two fabulous Barnes & Noble NOOK electronic readers! One is going to a winner of my contest, and one will be given randomly to a fan on my Facebook page (check out the link to the left). Give yourself a double chance!
• A Kiss at Midnight pubs July 27 – I’m so excited! Even more so since I got this fabulous review from Publishers’ Weekly, calling Kiss a “delectable Regency reimagining of the Cinderella story… a candy floss comic romp around a core of heartache. James’s deft touch allows the characters to shine through genuinely witty dialogue and an uncluttered plot.”
• My new Barnes & Noble column is up and every novel is proven gold – how do I know? Well, because I read them but also because I read the entire RITA finalist list for Young Adult. The RITA is romance’s most prestigious prize, and these are the best YAs published in the past year.
• I put up a new Books to Love review—for a novel that may be hard to find, but would be worth the search.
June 7, 2010 • Announcing: Chapter One of A Kiss at Midnight! I can’t wait until A Kiss at Midnight pubs on July 27th — and I hope after reading this chapter, you feel the same.
• We have a redesigned contest page and a fabulous prize — an ARC (advance reading copy) of A Kiss at Midnight! Plus four runners-up will receive darling shoe ornaments that I picked up in France and England.
• Speaking of contests… I have exciting news about next month! My publisher joined forces with Barnes & Noble, and we’ll be giving away two Nooks, B&N’s electronic reader. So be sure to check here and my Facebook page for details.
• My new Barnes & Noble column is up, on the allure of oh-so-innocent heroines. Five fabulous romances waiting for you: don’t miss it!
May 3, 2010 • I’ve put up a sneak peek at the evil stepmother in my fractured Cinderella, A Kiss at Midnight — coming this August! Do read to see if you don’t feel a sympathetic shiver for my heroine, Kate.
• My new Barnes & Noble column is up, called “She’s No Rocket Scientist” — don’t you want to know what THAT’s about? In brief: five terrific romances that you absolutely shouldn’t miss.
• I’m having such a good time on Facebook, describing our adventures in Paris and swapping stories with a terrific community there. Lately we’ve discussed bad hair days (I’m having BH month), and favorite kids’ books. If you’re on Facebook, please join us.
• I just added a review of one of my favorite Teresa Medeiros novels, A Kiss to Remember, to my Books to Love shelf. If you haven’t read this fabulous romance, do check out the page.
April 5, 2010 • Look at this beautiful cover for A Kiss at Midnight (pubbing July 27th)! The shoe says it all… this novel is my very own version of Cinderella.
• Talking of covers, Pleasure for Pleasure made it into Entertainment Weekly with the rather dubious distinction of having a cover that didn’t match its content — if you’ve read the novel, you know that Josie is decidedly a curvaceous heroine, whereas the cover model was, alas, slender to the point of near death.
• My new Barnes & Noble column is up — talking about romances that break society’s biggest rules: whether those are Don’t Sleep with Your Boss, or Don’t Sleep with Anyone (historicals). I’m talking about five fun, terrific novels, so don’t miss it.
• I put up a new Books to Love — Christine Warren’s The Demon You Know. This is a really fun paranormal read, so if you like bad boys (the badder the better), do check out my review.
March 1, 2010 • I am very happy to announce that I’ve put up an excerpt from Chapter One of A Kiss at Midnight, my very own Cinderella (pubbing July 27). I hope you enjoy my Cinders-girl… Do stop by next month, because I’ll add a few more pages to the excerpt.
• My new B&N column is up — talking about five really fascinating romances that revisit old genres — like Christina Dodd’s swashbuckling In Bed With the Duke, a delicious mix of Robin Hood and The Scarlet Pimpernel.
• I just added a new Books to Love ~ Tessa Dare’s A Lady of Persuasion. I really adored this book — if you haven’t had your hands on it yet, don’t hesitate!
• I’m revisiting a fun piece in the Readers’ Pages: a discussion of the difference between the Regency and Georgian periods, something I’m thinking about again as I migrate back to the Regency after six Georgian novels.
• The Southeast Review just published a long interview with me, so if you’re interested in hearing just about everything I have to say about writing, check here.
February 14, 2010 • Happy Valentine’s Day! In honor of the holiday, I wrote a little piece called Of Rice and Men, about my husband and our early courting days… I hope you enjoy it!
