No, not going out to the bar with our manuscript, but our editor let us know Novel 2 will be published November 09. We’re working on revisions right now, and the art department is probably going to do the cover early next year. Working title right now is The Sensual Education of Caroline. Yes, Caroline, sister to the hero in the first book. Guess she’s in for a fun time…

We’ll be adding more and more to the Regency and Victorian Parlor Music sections. Keep checking in!

More kudos out there. PASSIONATE  has received a CTRR (Coffee Time Reviewer’s Recommend Award) from Coffee Time Romance & More.  This award recognizes outstanding writing styles in all book types and genres. The reviewer recommended our book for this award as she felt it surpassed their top rating. Exciting!

Thanks to all of you who came out and helped us celebrate! And bought out all our books, too. We had a great time.

Today is it~ we go live, Amazon ships orders, and hopefully all over the country (or heck, the world!) people are picking up a copy of our book and thinking ~ Hey, maybe I’ll buy this one ~

To help celebrate, we have a fun interview up at Delilah Marvelle’s blog, A Bit O’ Muslin. Stop by and leave a comment for a chance to win a book!

Have fun getting PASSIONATE today!

Word about the world is that PASSIONATE is showing up on shelves. Let us know if you see us in your local bookstore.

Author copies arrived the other day. Nothing like holding your first book in your hands, hefting it up and down, riffling through the pages. Wow. That’s a lot of words. What a journey, from inception to reality. Took a few years longer than we thought… but then, everything in publishing moves slower than you’d think.

“Passionate is a book that lives up to its title. Amid the scorching sands and sultry skies of North Africa, two people find that their love of life and everything beautiful in it can create a passionate love that won’t be forgotten. The authors have created a strong, independent woman who aptly matches her strong, independent man. A cleverly written, witty book that is hard to put down.”
