Out of the blue, UNLOCKED has appeared as an e-book...just 99 cents at the moment on Amazon, where it's listed at #124 in sales.

SB Sarah and Dear Author's Jane have both given it glowing reviews, and given how AMAZING Courtney Milan's first novella, THIS WICKED GIFT, was, (and given the quality o her tiny little short story about Smite, which you can see on her website) I'm sure UNLOCKED is terrific. It's waiting for me on my Kindle as we speak.

The most interesting part: it appears to be self-pubbed. Good for you, smart and daring Miz Milan!

Frankly, you should have charged AT LEAST $2.99 for this. That price difference wouldn't have slowed me for a millisecond, and I don't think it would slow down any of your fans.

And lookit how gorgeous the cover is. 

Oh, my goodness people, RUN, DON'T WALK!!! Get this one!! 

 

 

 

Life's been crazed lately, but I've also been writing like a maniac...so that's good all around. 

For those of you who haven't visited yet, you must check out the wonderful auction run by Brenda Novak--it's raising money to find a cure for Diabetes. My beloved nephew wrestles with that particular demon every day, and I want to help him return to a normal life ASAP!! Special today: you can bid to get your very own author interview with the fabulous women over at Smart Bitches Trashy Books!!! Don't miss that one, authors!! 

Oh, and if you just want some out-and-out literary entertainment, check out the really cool "extra" story Courtney Milan has posted on her site.  And if that's not enough for you--or if you went to see the Pirates of the Caribbean movie this weekend and need a little more aaarrr! in your life--another one of my Ruby Sisters has published a book: Blood and Treasure, a Romancing the Pirate novel by Jennifer Bray-Weber.

That enough linkage for ya?  

 

And yet weirdly cringe-worthy at the same time. But definitely sweet.  Here's the link.

 

I post this here purely for academic purposes. Check out the Top 111 Characters from English Literature in Order of Bangability.

I'm having trouble understanding a few of the characters on the list....Aslan? Casuabon?? Seriously?? That's some serious kink, ladies.

Another winner via the very wonderful Sarah of smartbitchestrashybooks.com. Here's the original link. I've definitely got to add a car chase (and some explosions) to my latest Regency:

 

WOOT!! My little sister (and CP) keeps tearing up the contest circuit!  She's now one of only SIX finalists in the entire Beau Monde Royal Ascot contest!!!

And she placed second in the very difficult Marlene (after up-and-coming 2011 Golden Heart Regency finalist Valerie Bowman), and got excellent scores and some wonderful comments from final judge Leah Hultenschmidt! You can read more at thesublurbs.com.

Makes me itchy to enter some contests again....but for now the goal is just to write, write, write!!!

It's time for the annual cover contest!! Lots of beautiful covers up for your voting pleasure, including the beautiful two-cover Forbidden Rose (my hands-down favorite in that category)...and some real howlers in the Worst category. I know the authors had no control over those colors, and it's probably mean to laugh, but, OH, MAN!!! The guy with the buttocks...that's all I'm going to say.

More brilliant stuff via Smart Bitches. Happy May Day, everybody!! (and here's the link so you can check out MORE!)
