Hope everyone had a wonderfully fantastic Labor Day weekend.
For those still looking for a little relaxation time, check out the Stress (Way) Less article at Shecky’s, which suggests pampering with some luxe lotions and a copy of Gemma Halliday’s MAYHEM IN HIGH HEELS. According to the popular fashion and beauty site, it’s “totally indulgent!”
This week, MAYHEM is also the Romance selection at DearReader.com. Sign up on their site to get a week’s worth of preview, and join the conversation on their forums.
Congratulations to Victoria Alexander, whose THE PRINCESS AND THE PEA is on this week’s New York Times mass-market bestseller list.
And it’s been a busy week for Caroline Fyffe. Her debut novel, WHERE THE WIND BLOWS, has recently been optioned for film, with production slated to start this fall. The Lonesome Dove-meets-Little House on the Prairie story was also featured in this month’s Horse & Rider magazine. Caroline will be signing books tomorrow at the Wal-Mart in Lodi, CA.
Even if you weren’t able to visit the Dorchester authors at DragonCon this weekend, you can still win a Kindle loaded with your choice of books. The winner also gets a Kindle edition of the highly anticipated fantasy debut by L.J. McDonald, THE BATTLE SYLPH, which won’t be in stores until March. Click here for details.

Woo-hoo! My congrats to Caroline, too. I’m in the middle of reading Where the Wind Blows. It’s going to make a fabulous film!
I came down with the flu so didn’t get to go to DragonCon.
Maybe next year… Seems so far away…

I must say that I adore the cover given to Victoria Alexander’s book. Are Dorchester’s historical romances now to have similar covers (or covers like Jennifer Ashley’s The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie)?

The cover look for a historical romance often depends on its setting, its tone, and quite honestly, the budget. To keep things from getting stale, we try to provide a variety. If you take a look in the Coming Soon section, you’ll see that Dawn MacTavish’s COUNTERFEIT LADY in November has a very different look from FAITH by Deanane Clark in January.

That’s so exciting about Caroline’s book being optioned! I’m absolutely thrilled for you, Caroline, and kudos to Dorchester for making it happen!

“Rusty silver chain.”
It will be interesting to see how they film that!
