New Cover Reveal! SUMMER IS FOR LOVERS

They say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover... but I really wish you would. Thecover for my next book--Summer is for Lovers--is notjust slap-you-upside-the-head gorgeous, it so perfectly captures the mood of the book I was almost in tears the first time I saw it. Summer is for Lovers is an unrequited love story set in the Victorian seaside resort of Brighton, and it features Caroline Tolbertson, an awkward, unconventional heroinewho has harbored a secret crush onDavid Cameron sinceshe was twelve years old. The cover image beautifully captures the angst and longing I associate with Caroline.That she is standing alone,looking out at a turbulent ocean,brilliantly showcases who she is and what she wants. David,who is a border-line villain in What Happens in Scotland, is given a chance at redemption in this book. His past mistakes have convinced him that his soul is too scarred to come anywhere near...

My Cobblestone Carpet

When most folks think of a grand entrance, they might imagine a grand staircase, ascending to a crowded ballroom (think: Cinderella). Or, they imagine a red carpet rolled out in welcome (think: Hollywood). Well, I’m a historical author, not a movie star. And I can’t imagine anything more welcoming than a Cobblestone Carpet… and luckily, thanks to old-town Richmond’s charm, that is precisely what I got  on my very first book tour! The tour kicked off Thursday 2/28/13 at Eagle Eye bookstore in Decatur Georgia, and I was fortunate enough to have a full quorum of friends come out to cheer me on. Special thanks to Charles for arranging everything! My critique partners Romily Bernard (right) and Sally Kilpatrick made the trek up, and lots of friends and coworkers from CDC and Georgia Romance Writers came to see me take on such questions from the audience as, “So, about this racy cover: can...

What Happens in Scotland

I have to admit that I picked this book solely for the title and I was not disappointed. I love a Highland historical romance and this book was a joy to read. The book was fast paced and centered around a couple who in one night completely undid all the years of good and proper behavior they had each worked so hard at. They also found in each other the ability to look past the prim and proper exterior to find enjoyment in life and each other. Each helped the other to overcome long held beliefs of family, marriage and public opinion to find love, affection and happiness. This book was fast paced and kept you in suspense from beginning to end. I had a hard time putting it down and was very impressed with the well-rounded characters including the family and friends of the two main characters. If you...

Let’s Get Personal with Author Sarah MacLean

*This interview was originally posted with the Dashing Duchesses, and is cross-posted with permissions. I still remember the day I first started stalking… er…. learned about Sarah MacLean. I was perusing Dear Author, trying to figure out which books I wanted to read next when I came across an outstanding review for Eleven Scandals to Start to Win a Duke’s Heart. Now, an A ranking on Dear Author doesn’t come along every day of the week. In fact, the thought of actually having one of my books reviewed on Dear Author makes me want to dive into a bottle of Jim Beam. A really big bottle of Jim Beam. With one of those ginormous straws that McDonalds serves that you can fit 10 Wendy’s straws through. But at the time, all I could think was, “I want to be this woman when I grow up.” So I promptly read Eleven Scandals, and chased them with...

Confessions of a Debut Author

 I wish someone had warned me. You know, about the being nervous part, about the part where those supposed butterflies in your stomach actually feel more like a hamster. On a lopsided wheel. Trying to gnaw its way out. Why, you ask? My debut historical romance What Happens in Scotland is almost here!!! February 26th is the day, which means I have just under a month to bite my nails down past the quick (given they are already hovering in the vicinity).   The month before a debut author’s book release (at least, the month before my book release) is interesting, terrifying, and beautiful. After all, I’ve been waiting ten months for this, ever since I got that amazing call from Esi Sogah at Avon. And reaching even further back, I’ve been working toward this for four years, ever since I started writing my very first novel. In the writing...
