April 2007

Happy April 1st to everyone! Be kind when playing fools jokes, okay? >:)

Lots of updates to my webpage to announce, so I'm just going to run through them one by one!

1) Two Myspace pages to announce. One that I had kept private, but now is open to the public, and one that is a group page for Ohio Authors. Links to both are on my home page! If you're a member of Myspace, please check it out!

2) SIMON SAYS has a page on my site now! Go to the dropdown book menu and click on SIMON'S PAGE. There's an excerpt, a video, and some cool photos from my trip to the UFC.
More to come of course. I'll be adding povs, more photos, more excerpts, hopefully an interview with Mike Swick, and more! Hope you enjoy!

3) Yes, CASEY has a book! After Harlequin reissued the 4 brother books, SAWYER, MORGAN, GABE & JORDAN, but did NOT tell readers that CASEY, the 5th book in the series, was being reissued, I got hammered with emails asking about it. I LOVE you all for your interest, but I was stuck. Hq said they were reissuing, but I didn't have a cover, so I didn't have much to share. Finally, the cover showed up, and so it's added to my website! CASEY is being reissued with CAUGHT IN THE ACT as a 2 in 1 retitled ENTICING.

4) There's now a "Buy" link on my LLFoster site - www.llfoster. com - for SERVANT: The Awakening. I'm so excited about this book. My editor read the finished work, and she loved it! Since this is a new venture for me, with an all new name (my initials, so I don't confuse readers. This is NOT a pure romance) I've been more than a little anxious. :-& I felt like a first time author all over again.
My editor told me that the book is sort of romantic horror. :p I know, sounds odd, huh? But it does have its horror moments, and there really is a nice underlying romance, so...Mostly it falls into the category of Urban Fantasy. I'm very hopeful that those of you who aren't too squeamish will give it a try!

5) A link to my "Guest map" has been moved to my home page. I LOVE seeing where everyone is from, but the map sort of got lost in my pages. Now you can find it and mark your location. Very fun!

6) I'm now creating fun products for the www.RunningWithQuil l.com authors in my cafepress store. Check it out! I just love and admire the different Quill authors so much, that I thought it'd be fun. Stella Cameron's incredible book, TARGET, is the first to be featured. And what an awesome cover!

7) The June "Reader & Author Get Together" is zinging right along! If you can make it, please get registered! Check out the list of attending authors, editors and agents on the Community page of my website.  Right now, we have 36 authors, 2 agents, and 2 editors. Registration is only $35! That covers most of your meals, and a full weekend of fun.
Your other expenses would be:
$99 a night for the hotel
and any travel/air expenses you had.
I can promise you a fabulous, totally relaxed and casual good time. ;) You won't regret attending!

8) New covers and bookmarks!
Right now I have covers for the reissue of A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS, going from trade to mass market, and bookmarks for CAUSING HAVOC/SIMON SAYS (it's 2-sided) and SERVANT: The Awakening. Both bookmarks are awesome.
If you want a a bookcover, send an envelope at least 5" x 7", and if you want the bookmarks, I'd need a legal sized envelope.

9) New appearances have been posted to my site, under the Author link, then Appearances. They're sort of backward right now, going from 08 to 07, but I'll get that fixead. #-o Also, I'm hoping to work out a signing down south a ways for July. I'll get that posted as soon as I can get things confirmed.

10) The cookbook, THE WRITE INGREDIENTS: Recipes from Your Favorite Authors, comprised of over 90 author-donated recipes is now listed on the "Get Together" page.
(It'll be added to my other pages, with a link to buy, soon!) I just got the cover approved, so it's not up yet, but will be very soon!

Geez, I hope that covers everything. I've been so swamped lately that I don't know if I'm coming or going. See, SERVANT was originally set to be out in 08, but getting it bumped up to October of this year is wonderful. It meant I had to get right on it, and rearrange my schedule, but now it's all done and approved so hopefully my life will settle back into a more normal routine.

Yes, SIMON SAYS is related to CAUSING HAVOC. You met Simon in Havoc's book. The next romance for me will be HARD TO HANDLE, featuring Harley Handleman, another SBC fighter, and you'll meet him in SIMON SAYS. His book is slated for February 08.
So for those of you asking, yes, there will be more books in Harmony Kentucky, and more ultra-buff, capable guys!

Oh yeah, please remember everyone, I have a new email address! lorifoster1@ fuse.net

Thank you to everyone who sent me notes about CAUSING HAVOC, and those of you who have expressed an interest in SIMON SAYS. I just sent out arcs on SIMON SAYS, so hopefully I'll have some reader comments to share on the SIMON SAYS page very soon.
(Another oh yeah - I'm leaving HAVOC's page up front and center until May, then it'll be replaced by SIMON's page. I hate to cut any of the guys short, but geez Louise, between new releases and reissues, I have 10 books out this year! 8-} It's no wonder I'm half nuts, huh?

THANK YOU everyone!
Smell the spring flowers, keep smiling, and happy reading!
