Librarians perform a service for patrons referred to as Readers’ Advisory. This is when they receive requests to recommend a book or author who might be of interest to a patron’s particular reading tastes. This can be quite a challenge! But a skilled librarian is [...]
First, I wish to thank everyone who stopped by last month and offered your congratulations. My husband and I are looking forward to meeting our first child on May 31st (though I’ve been told he or she might arrive sometime before or after that date). In the coming weeks, we should know if we are [...]
Good news! In a follow up to last week’s post, I am thrilled to announce that Delilah Marvelle sold the first book in a new series to Harlequin as part of a three-book deal (details reported on Publisher’s Marketplace). Congratulations Delilah!
In more historical romance news, the acclaimed author of dark, sexy Regency historicals, Anna Campbell, is [...]

The second book in Delilah Marvelle’s School of Gallantry series, Lord of Pleasure, hits stores this week. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Delilah Marvelle’s “wickedly humorous historical romances,” her first book in this series, Mistress of [...]
Like many of my fellow romance writers, I traveled to the RWA 29th Annual Conference last week in Washington, DC. Overall, it was an amazing experience. The sessions were informative and the speakers inspiring.

A Wild Pursuit by Eloisa James
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn
The Romantic by Madeline Hunter
Suzanne Brockmann’s Troubleshooter series
Why did I [...]
I am thrilled to announce a new title for The Virtuous Courtesan. Following conversations with my former publishing world coworkers, and feedback from some of my early readers, I decided to change the title to Flirting with Scandal.
While the title, The Virtuous Courtesan, worked with the overall premise—an innocent twenty-something lady whose best friend’s unconventional plan leads her [...]
My writing day usually begins with a cup of coffee and visits to my favorite blogs (see previous post on The Blogsphere for a detailed list). After that I settle in with my cat curled up on the desk beside me and write. Since I completed my latest revision of The Virtuous Courtesan, I’ve been [...]

The first unfolded on the pages of The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley. I’d read a number of glowing reviews for Jennifer Ashley’s latest historical and had been [...]
