Historical and Contemporary Romance Author
This post is completely unrelated either to writing or to romance novels…well, perhaps tangentially to romance novels, lol. Here’s the sitch. My daughter is turning ten in July. And she is starting to..um…bloom. It’s clearly time to have the mother-daughter facts of life talk–particularly the “if you start bleeding, you aren’t dying” discussion–and you’d think that as a romance novelist,…
It’s no secret that I have a book out on submission right now, and I’m pretty nervous about it. Although having Behind the Red Door come out the same day my agent sent out the pitch letter for the new series has been a blessing because I’m far too busy to obsess, I haven’t been so busy that I’m not thinking about…
Just put up a very long article in the For Writers section called The Perils and Pleasures of ePublishing. It was way too long for a blog post, but I’m putting this here in case anyone has the burning desire to praise, castigate, argue with, or ask questions about what I wrote. Have at it!
Today is the day! Behind the Red Door is officially out. (Please, please, keep the applause to a minimum.) It’s actually a little anti-climactic, because I’ve heard reports of the book shipping from online retailers as early as last Monday, and several bookstores had it stocked late last week. I even have visual evidence courtesy of Evangeline Collins, who took this…
Today, I’d like to welcome historical romance author Evangeline Collins! I just finished reading her debut release from NAL Signet, Her Ladyship’s Companion, last week, and I loved it. Evangeline has a beautiful voice, and her love scenes are exquisitely crafted and emotionally rich. If you like your romances lush and sensual, you have to give Evangeline’s book a read! In…
All right, it’s Thursday. The randomizer spit out Sara Hurt as the winner of the copy of A Hint of Wicked. Sara, please email me at jackie at jackiebarbosa dot com with your snail mail address, and we’ll get it out to you! Disappointed that you didn’t win? Well, there’s still a chance to win more prizes. Jennifer Haymore has an…
Today, I’d like to welcome Jennifer Haymore, author of A Hint of Wicked, to the blog. When I first heard about this book a few months ago, I was instantly intrigued. The premise was just too unusual not to spark my interest. Here’s the back cover blurb: CAUGHT BETWEEN DUTY AND DESIRE . . . Sophie, the Duchess of Calton,…
Swing by the We Heart Historicals event over at Emma Petersen’s blog this weekend and leave us a comment, either recommending a historical or answering one of the questions, and get a chance to win a copy of Behind the Red Door, plus who knows what all else. Tomorrow, I’ll also be posting a juicy and exclusive excerpt from the…
Today’s We Heart Historicals feature is an interview with the super-talented, super-funny, and super-angelic Victoria Dahl. (Hey, I’m not kidding about the angelic part. She even has a halo! I’ve seen it on her TwitterPic.)1 She’s going to be giving away a copy of her awesome historical, A Rake’s Guide to Pleasure, so be sure to stop by and comment…
Okay, so it took me almost two weeks longer than I expected to get the new website up and running, but it’s here now and it’s gorgeous, isn’t it? (I can say that without sounding vain because I didn’t do the design. Frauke of Croco Designs is behind all this sultry goodness, and I am so grateful to her. I…
