My publicist sent me an image from the December 7 edition of the Post-Star newspaper out of Glen Falls, NY. Their “Question of the Week” answer from Sherry Recinella was a fabulous thrill for me – and the entire staff at Sourcebooks who forwarded it with their excitement conveyed. Thanks...
Well, I have received no other frantic messages from my editor so am assuming that the new title is here to stay! Now that I have had some time to assimilate the change, utter it aloud a number of times, and heard from so many of you who love the...
I am thinking all authors would agree that one of the high points in writing our stories is to type “The End” in bold print at the bottom of that final page. Maybe it is just me, but I always flash onto the scene in Romancing the Stone when Joan Wilder...
My author’s copies of Loving Mr. Darcy arrived last night – mere hours after my hubby went on a search mission and bought 2 at B&N. Whoo Hoo!! Surprised none of you heard the giddy screeching. I had gotten a hint that the oval color had been changed by a...
Hello everyone! Are you as excited as I am? In two weeks, just 14 days from today, Loving Mr. Darcy: Journeys Beyond Pemberley will officially be released. Another red-letter day in my life as a published author. I am thrilled to be able to share my love for these incredible...
Now that I am home and more or less feeling 100% well (danged foot!), I am turning my attention and efforts to the release of my second book in 27 DAYS AND COUNTING!!! In the weeks ahead there will be tons of activities and updates. I am still plotting and...
Finally, right? I am home, it is Monday morning, and I slept for 9 hours straight! Sorry for the delay in sharing my news but the last 2 conference days were jammed from early sunrise to well after the sun was set. I am not complaining as it was fabulous....
Good morning everyone! Yes, I am not getting around to posting anything about yesterday – the first official day of the Romance Writers Conference in Washington DC – until today. No, I was not out until the wee hours of the morning partying! Rather I was exhausted and needed to...
While I was waiting for the edits to roll in I enjoyed several months of freedom, so to speak. It was the “lull period” as I called it. Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy was doing it’s thing with no further involvement needed from me, and I knew the above mentioned...
Loving Mr. Darcy ~ Journeys Beyond Pemberley will not be released until September – and that seems so far away still – but as we know in the publishing world, stuff starts happening way before the actual release date! So while my head has been wrapped up in finishing my...
I knew that Sourcebooks intended on listing The Darcy Saga in their upcoming catalog, but imagine my surprise to discover a full 2-page spread! In stunning, vivid color with excerpts and lovely descriptions, I am so impressed and thrilled. This is the trade catalog that is sent to all the...
January of 2010 is when the third book in The Darcy Saga series will debut. I know, I know…. that is AGES from now. Not! In the world of publishing things must be planned waaaaayyyyy in advance. That is why Deb was so anxious to lock me in on further...
Back to when I met with Deb in Berkeley in February: One of the topics high on my list (and hers) was discussing future novels. This was the first serious conversation we had about going beyond the first three. I pitched a brief synopsis of what Darcy 4 included at...
September sounds so far away, doesn’t it? Well, yes and no. The six months between the release of Mr. and Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy this past March and the launch of volume 2 of the Darcy Saga on September 1 are far from idle, but I am enjoying the breather. Nevertheless,...
As I have said before, the first book is out and more or less setting its own pace and following its intended path with little assistance from me or even the Sourcebooks marketing team. Now it is in the hands of the readers who will hopefully love it and share...
