Hello!

Welcome to my November newsletter!  Here in the UK the leaves are falling and the nights are darker and full of shooting stars. After a wonderful holiday in Scotland I'm back at work on my next series for HQN Books - preview below!

Books

'Tis the season for Christmas anthologies and I have two in the shops in the US!

The Season for Suitors is a reprint in the anthology The Heart of Christmas, which also features stories by Mary Balogh and Courtney Milan. The Heart of Christmas, which is my first USA Today bestseller, has been hailed as "superb storytelling" by Romance Reviews Today and All About Romance said: "Entertaining and a very sweet read." Just what you need to keep you warm at night! An excerpt is here!

The other anthology, Together by Christmas, features the first print publication of The Unmasking of Lady Loveless, which was originally e-pubbed on the Harlequin website. Hot, sweet and very saucy, this short story has been described as "very sensual and sassy." The anthology also has a longer Regency story by Louise Allen, one of my all time favourite historical romance authors! Check out the excerpt!

News

Last week I was in Winchester for Jo Beverley's UK book tour! Both Jo and Mary Jo Putney, my writing colleagues on the Word Wenches blog, are being published in the UK by new imprint Everlyn Books! Jo's tour is taking her all over the UK to beautiful historical places associated with her book My Lady Notorious. To celebrate, I am offering a copy of Jo's book and Mary Jo Putney's Fallen Angel, alongside a copy of my Brides of Fortune trilogy as my website prize this month.

For UK readers, I am very happy to announce that The Brides of Fortune series will be published by MIRA from May 2010. More details next year!

Coming Next

Keep an eye on my future books page for details of my new series coming next year from HQN Books. If you like unusual settings for your Regencies I hope you will like Whisper of Scandal, the first book in the series - it is set in London and the Arctic!

Contest

The special contest for newsletter subscribers only is to win some beautiful silver jewellery plus copies of The Heart of Christmas and Together by Christmas! More details of the prize are on the website. To enter simply email me the answer to the question: What is the name of the village in The Unmasking of Lady Loveless? The answer is here!

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Happy reading!
