Get it while it's hot!

Today is the official release of Ethan's Chase by Bronwyn Storm, aka our very own Brown. The Romance Studio has awarded this contemporary romance an overall rating of 4.5 hearts (out of a possible 5). Congratulations, Brown!

Here is the synopsis, followed by the trailer:

From downed networks to binary coding, Chase Logan can handle just about anything. Except her sexy new client, Ethan Phillips. His sculpted looks have Chase’s libido spinning faster than a Pentium 4 processor, but his aloof attitude freezes her in an instant. Five years after charging his ex-fiancé with fraud and sending her to jail, advertising executive Ethan Phillips’s emotions remain in the ‘off’ position. But Chase’s laugh, her candor and delicious figure, are booting up his feelings and turning on his heart. Though both Chase and Ethan believe their emotions are safe behind their respective firewalls, their mutual attraction renders their logical programming inactive, and they're about to find out that when it comes to love, there are no defenses that can protect the heart.

Order Ethan's Chase today from the publisher, The Wild Rose Press.

Girls, let's start pouring those martinis!!

This one goes out to...

...two talented writers whose hard work is paying off and to whom this post is dedicated. They are:

• Bronwyn Storm: Bronwyn has recently sold yet another short story to The Wild Rose Press, on the heels of her first, very well received Miniature Rose I Love You a Latte, which has enjoyed pride of place on the publisher's Bestseller list for weeks. Her full-length novel, Ethan's Chase, is due to be released in coming months. Here is a teaser:

• India Grey: India has just this week sold her fourth novel to Harlequin Mills & Boon Modern. Her first novel, The Italian's Defiant Mistress, recently won a CataRomance 2007 Reviewers' Choice Award, and her second, The Italian's Captive Virgin, is out in England this month. For those of us over here in North America who must wait until October for release here, see the teaser at right and visit her website for an excerpt. Do you have any promotional literature on the third, India, and any idea when it will be released?

Congratulations, Brown and India! Keep up the good work.

Get your credit cards out!

It's time to celebrate yet another release with some shopping and a celebratory drink or two. Congratulations to Brown (aka Bronwyn Storm) who officially becomes a published author TODAY! Congratulations, Brown!!

Head on over to The Wild Rose Press to get your copy of I Love You a Latte today. Don't delay! Take it from me — I get all the sneak previews — you'll love it. For a synopsis, check out the column at right. And don't forget to visit Brown's Town to take part in the contest she's running. See you there.

Cheers!

India sweeps North America!!

For all those North American fans eagerly awaiting the release of India Grey's The Italian’s Defiant Mistress, the wait is over. Hallelujah!

India is a featured author over at Harlequin Presents, and her book is available from the usual shops, newstands, and online bookshops, including Amazon, chapters.indigo.ca, Barnes & Noble, etc.

You've no excuses. And, believe me, you won't be disappointed!

Galleys, cover art, plus new releases

It's official. Bronwyn Storm's short story I Love You a Latte, a Last Rose Of Summer Miniature, will soon be available from Wild Rose Press. Rumour has it that the galleys are sitting with the author. Check out the cover art below.

Here is a teaser:

If love was coffee, then for Annie Langdon, it would be thick, black, leave a bitter taste in her mouth, and acid in her stomach. For the past year, though, Devon McMaster has used a smile that packs more punch than a triple-shot espresso, and a personality tastier than coffee-cream chocolate to persuade Annie's heart to percolate for him. This Christmas, Annie will learn men, like coffee, can come in decadent varieties.

Watch for I Love You a Latte coming in December.

Currently available are two other books you absolutely must have on your bedside tables (if they aren't there already):

1. India Grey's The Italian's Defiant Mistress, currently available in the UK (those of us in North America must wait a few more agonizing months).

Be sure to visit India's website, as she's running a competition from now until September 1.




2. Amanda Ashby's You Had Me at Halo, released just yesterday here in Canada as well as in the US. It's a novel about a woman who dies with unresolved issues and comes back in the body of her geeky co-worker in order to sort them out.

Watch for a review just as soon as I get my grubby little hands on a copy.

Rush to the shops

Hey, folks, India's novel has hit the newstands (in the UK). Head directly to your nearest bookshop before there are no more copies left.

ITALIAN'S DEFIANT MISTRESS NOW RELEASED IN HARDBACK

As if it's not enough that I've already written one blog in the last month, I now find myself having to write a second and I should actually be eating my breakfast and heading off to work.

Still, some things are more important.

I just found out from Amanda Ashby's blog - who found out from Amazon - that yesterday was the official release date for the hardback version of India's book: The Italian's Defiant Mistress.
Yes folks! You can now actually buy this much-talked about book and get to read it at last!

And India, might I suggest you dust off your old trumpet and practise blowing it now and again!
