So, When Honey Got Married… launches on the 1st of May, and we’ve been having a lot of fun promoting the stories over on Honey’s FB Page and on Twitter. Prizes, pictures, choices! I bought a month-long subscription to a stock photo site, downloaded Gimp (a free image manipulation program) and promptly went NUTS with the pretty pictures. So(…)
You are cordially invited to the Louisiana wedding of the decade. On a beautiful spring evening, on the grounds of the Belles Fleurs Plantation, Honey Moreau will marry eminently eligible Brent Delacroix. Love will be in the air…can anyone resist? I’ve been waiting for this Entangled Indulgence Anthology to hit the e-book shelves ever since(…)
Ask any author why some of her books sell better than others and chances are she’ll tell you that she doesn’t know. More publicity perhaps? A timely and influential review on Goodreads? Good cover/bad cover? A killer premise? Luck! But over the years some stories consistently outsell the rest – the figures make this very(…)
I’m writing! Well, fixing… but it still counts. And if you’ve been waiting for the next book in the West Family Series and would like a sneak preview, here’s the prologue (which may or may not make the final cut): Prologue Seventeen-year-old Lena West didn’t understand the question. It had something to do with Euler’s(…)
As a teenager, I used to approach Valentine’s Day with an equal mix of anticipation and fear. Would I have a secret admirer? A not-so-secret admirer? Did I have the courage to send someone I liked a card? I remember one boy sauntering into music class and giving every girl in it a tiny chocolate(…)

RRP for print copies is $2.59 (before discounts), and as low as $1.59 in e. My accountant, she weeps. On the upside, these are TRY ME prices,(…)
I’m doing it. I’m getting up at 2am on Jan 22 2013 to talk first kisses with fellow authors @JessicaHartxx (Jessica Hart), @BooksbyKimberly (Kimberly Lang), @miralynkelly (Mira Lyn Kelly), @ReadNikkiLogan (Nikki Logan) and the #HarlequinKISS team. They’ll be the ones making sense.
Last year’s Bookscan figures prove beyond doubt that many readers do. The sales figures for the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E L James are staggering. Sylvia Day’s Crossfire Novels are selling beautifully too. The reviews are very mixed. Reader engagement is very strong. Readers talk about these books a lot. Non-readers talk about these stories(…)

Evangeline Jones spent the best and worst week of her life exploring kinky sex with Logan Black. Eleven years later, she’s a confident and successful business woman.
