Still time to make a free donation

I'll be heading out to the Pike's Peak Writer's Conference later this week, and taking the opportunity to hook up with two of my children. If you're not aware of it, one of my daughters is raising money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society via Team in Training. She's a trainer AND is going to run a half ironman, which never ceases to amaze me. More details and links here. At any rate, I promised her I'd kick in an extra fifty cents for every short story sold until May 1st. All you have to do is forward confirmation of your purchase to my email address. My two newest releases, Hurricane Breeze (Champagne Miniature Rose) and Second Chance Rose (Last Rose of Summer Rosette) might be good places to start. Both are on the WRP best-seller lists. View all my Wild Rose Press titles here.

(And, you can buy them from any participating venue. I'm not reducing my donation if you find them at Fictionwise or AllRomance ebooks. )

Quick Update - Advance Review For Hurricane Breeze

I found this advance review this morning.

Grade A from Simply Romance Reviews

Carter and Tiffany are believable loveable characters with all their faults ... The steamy sex scenes will leave you breathless. This book is for anyone who tries and succeeds of breaking out their own self-imposed exile and finds their heart’s desire.

Counting down to Hurricane Breeze

Hurricane Breeze has a release date of February 20th. Here's the blurb:

Carter Worthington (the Fourth) is the kind of man whose schedule is laid out in fifteen minute increments, while Tiffany wouldn't know what to do with a day planner if she owned one.

Carter thinks he's happy, tucked away in a quiet Florida neighborhood, where nobody knows his alter ego is novelist Grant Gardner, and he's content to keep it that way. But when a hurricane blows Tiffany Breeze into his sheltered universe, he must deal with his past, overcome his fears and decide if he's spent his life existing instead of living. Is he willing to leave the emotional safety of his orderly existence to experience the highs, knowing he'll also have to face the lows?

Busy, Busy

I have less than 2 days before I leave for a month in South Africa. LOTS of loose ends to tie up. I won't have much internet access while I'm there, but if I do, I'll try to post updates on my Blog.

Meanwhile, I'm working on galleys for Hurricane Breeze. I firmly believe typos happen when you shut off your computer. I asked 3 friends to read the galleys, after I went through them, plus two editors. All 3 found little glitches -- and they all found DIFFERENT ones.

Here's the cover, though. I like it a lot. What do you think?



Back to laundry and packing. Ugh.
