Apparently e-readers and the like are doing wonders for sales of Mills & Boons to thirty-somethings. Woohoo!

RITA nominations

Big, big congratulations to fellow Modern Heat author, Kelly Hunter, who's a finalist in the Romance Writers of America RITA and Golden Heart awards for 2010 with Revealed: a Prince and a Pregnancy.

Am rather worried the whole of Bk 3's story might hinge on a rather unlikely coincidence and that the hero doesn't have much of a conflict, but after the trauma of Bk 2 have decided to go with the flow and to try not to stress too much.

In the meantime, said Bk 2, Propositioned by the Billionaire, which is out in July and is up on Amazon, now has a cover! And here it is...


Much as I love Phoebe, I wish she'd get out of the way so we could all get a better look at that chest...

A review

Bought: Damsel in Distress has had a lovely review and gets an A grade over at The Good, The Bad and The Unread. Am basking in a warm glow while trying to convince myself Bk 3 isn't as awful as I think it might be...
