It’s Mills & Boon Loves Month!

That’s the title of the New Voices 2011 Anthology featuring me, Maisey Yates, Aimee Carson and Leah Ashton.  This colletion of four complete novels (including the Cinderella Bride) has been released in conjunction with the start of Mills & Boon’s New Voices 2011 competition.

New Voices is an international romance writing competition to discover new fresh voices for Mills & Boon books.  My friend and anthology mate Leah Ashton won last year’s competition.  In addition, they bought three other authors as well.  This year they’re looking to find another break-out star.  Personally, I can’t wait to start reading the entries.

You can participate too.  Visit www.romanceisnotdead.com and vote for your favorite entries.  Who knows? Maybe you’ll have a say in who is featured in next year’s New Voices anthology.

Meanwhile to celebrate the release of Mills & Boon Loves (as well as the North American debut of The Heart of a Hero) I will be appearing all over the blogosphere.  Keep an eye on my facebook page to learn when and where I’ll be.  You might win a copy of Mills & Boon Loves or a Heart of a Hero gift pack.

BOOK SIGNING

I’ll be signing copies of The Heart of a Hero in Portsmouth, NH on September 24 at the Sheraton Harborside.  Please stop by and say hello!

Big Happenings in September!

I’m super psyched to announce not one but TWO releases coming this fall.  THE HEART OF A HERO makes its North American debut September 6th.  Meanwhile, the Mills & Boon New Voices Anthology MILLS & BOON LOVES…. will be released in the UK.  This fabulous anthology features not only my book THE CINDERELLA BRIDE but works by Aimee Carson, Leah Ashton and USA Today Bestseller Maisey Yates.  I’m planning something fun to celebrate.  Check back for details after Labor Day.

FOREIGN RELEASES

The Cinderella Bride is available in Italy!  Retitled Affascinata dal Capo (Fascinated by the Boss), the book was released by Harmony Jolly in February.  This is my first non-English foreign release.  I’m incredibly excited.

And speaking of Foreign Releases….  Beauty and the Brooding Boss was a large print release in Australia this February. I’m so excited to have my books read by new readers.

MILLS & BOON ANTHOLOGY UPDATE

As mentioned earlier, The Cinderella Bride will be featured in a 3:1 anthology released by Mills & Boon.  Entitlee The Cinderella Brides, the book will also feature releases by fellow Mills & Boon authors Maisey Yates (Harlequin Presents) and Aimee Carson (Mills & Boon Modern Heat)  Look for The Cinderella Brides in October 2011!

UPCOMING APPEARANCES AND BOOK SIGNINGS

I’ll be signing copies of Beauty and the Brooding Boss at the New England RWA bookfair for literacy on April 30th.  Proceeds from the bookfair, which will be held at the Hawthorne Inn in Salem, MA, benefit literacy charities.
