March 2010
Happy March, everyone!
For Ohio, March definitely came in like a lion, so I'm hoping it'll go out like a lamb. I don't know about you, but I am more than ready for SPRING!
And speaking of spring, I have a lot of booksignings coming up!

BACK IN BLACK
First off, I need to thank everyone who purchased a copy of Back in Black. The book has been on the New York Times for several weeks now, as well as PW, USA Today, and Borders. So many of you have written me wonderful notes through email, myspace and especially on my Facebook! THANK YOU! It means a lot to me to hear from you, and to know that you enjoyed the book.
For those of you who haven’t yet read it, here's the blurb for Back in Black:
SBC president Drew Black is as controversial as they come. But the hot-headed entrepreneur is a perfect match for his popular sports club venture: uncompromising and extreme. Maybe too extreme. With a reputation for saying what he thinks, Drew's been causing a lot of friction. That's why someone's been called in to clean up his image—before he does any permanent damage.
The lucky lady is Gillian Noode, a PR expert who's smoothed out the rough edges on many a man. But Drew is rougher than anyone she's ever met, and he refuses to change for any woman, for any reason. To make matters more complicated, Gillian's starting to like him raw. Now, opposites aren't only attracting, they're igniting. But in the rising heat, which one of them will end up on top?
AWARD!
I won the "Favorite Author Award" from The Romance Studio! How cool is that!? I am very honored by the recognition.
NEW BOOKS AVAILABLE
The Harlequin digital team tells me that an old, "online read"
of mine is once again available. You can read Stranded at this eHarlequin link.
Tempted, a reissue of "Annie Get Your Guy," "Messing Around With Max," and "Little Miss Innocent," will be available at the end of the month. Check out my "Coming Soon" page to see the covers for all the upcoming books.
Don’t forget, Men of Courage, Men of Courage II, and The Truth about Cats and Dogs were just produced in eBook format last month! They are available for Kindle right now and eHarlequin’s eBook Store, as well as through all other eBook vendors.
More on the 6th annual READER AND AUTHOR GET TOGETHER
Information for the Get Together, including registration, is on my website under the community link. We're still the best deal in town with registration for the entire weekend being only $50! Readers and authors alike will enjoy the casual atmosphere, the access to books, the conversation, good food, fun, games and photo ops!
We currently have over 100 authors attending, and our list of special guests continues to grow!
* New feature: you can now access a printable list of authors from the website. If you want to bring already purchased books to be signed by the authors who will be attending, this is the easiest way to go through your shelves!

PRINTABLE ONE SHEET CALENDAR
The printable one sheet calendar of upcoming releases has been updated for 2010. You can find it here.
FACEBOOK
Please remember – I'm trying to get my Facebook friends to join my Facebook fan page. I'm told that after 5000 people join my personal page, it'll shut down – and we don't want that! I have over 4000 friends right now, and I get over 50 more each week, so... closing in fast!
Fan pages can accommodate a lot more people. The Fan page would be the same as my personal page, though. There's a link for the fan page on my regular Facebook page, right below my profile picture.
CAFEPRESS
Lastly, don't forget to check out my Cafepress store where you’ll find fun gifts for the reader or writer in your family!
As always you can find me at various locations.

God bless you, everyone. I hope you enjoy a beautiful, healthy, happy March!
