Whoo-hoo!  I just love getting a first glimpse at new covers.

Now, I have to warn you that my editor asked me please not to share this yet, as it hasn’t been officially finalized.  And normally, I would totally respect that.  (Believe me, I’ve held my tongue for nearly a week now, which was not easy.)  But when I spotted it on Barnes & Noble already, I figured all bets were off.  I mean, you can go there & see it for yourself whether I post it here or not, so…why not post it here? (Sorry, CG. :pain: )

So here you go, the wonderful new artwork for my December Silhouette Desire, INHERITING HIS SECRET CHRISTMAS BABY. (Dynasties:   The Jarrods, Book 6.)

Do you lurv it as much as I do? :inlove:

By the way, it’s also up at Amazon now, which means, you know…PRE-ORDER! (Hint, hint. 😀 )

Thanks to our own Darling Laura for finding this gorgeous picture of Connor Drake, the hero from “All I Vant for Christmas” in THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS.

Mm-mm. I would not mind spending a little time under the mistletoe with him, even if biting were involved. :vampire:

I’ve got some wunderbar news to share!

Last Saturday afternoon, when I definitely wasn’t expecting any Very Important Phone calls, the telephone rang.  It was the coordinator for New Jersey Romance Writers’ annual “Golden Leaf” contest letting me know that KNOCK ME FOR A LOOP has finaled in their Single Title category.

Whoo-hoo! Can you say, “Happy, happy, super-happy”?!

I’m delighted for Zack & Grace, of course, & also a little excited because I’m already signed up to attend their conference next month, so I’ll be at the awards ceremony.  Hopefully to accept one—an award, that is. 😎   But even if that isn’t the case, it will be ultra-fun to spend the weekend knowing KNOCK made it so far in the competition, & also to autograph copies at the post-conference booksigning.  (Along with the hot-off-the-presses THE BITE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, of course.  :vampire: )
