If you missed out on getting my February release, Tycoon’s Valentine Vendetta, it’s available now 40% through eHarlequin.com. The link takes you through to page one of the sale of over 100 titles that have been drastically discounted, including a couple of brand new Presents titles. If you like your romance reading hot and steamy then make sure you take advantage of this amazing offer!
There are also a couple of the Diamonds Down Under books available too!
I’m the proud recipient of another absolutely amazing cover. This time for my August release, CLAIMING HIS RUNAWAY BRIDE. Just had to share it with you all! The book is available for preorder at Barnes & Noble now.
And the back cover blurb is very to the point:
He Didn’t Want
Her To Remember…
The accident that had taken Belinda’s
memory had provided Luc with the
perfect means for revenge. His beautiful
bride had no recollection of fleeing her
groom on their wedding day…or the
real reason behind their union. All she
recalled was the unbridled passion they
still shared—and the steely-eyed mogul
planned to take full advantage of it.
Anyone who is keen to learn the basics of writing a romance novel and doing it well enough to potentially earn a living out of continuing to write them should have a copy of Kate Walker’s 12 Point Guide to Writing Romance.
The 12 Point Guide is an excellent reference guide for romance writers of all levels–easy to use and very easy to read.
This edition is Kate’s second, the first sold out! And she’s taken the time to update much of the information as well as include a new section “From the Author’s Desks” where she’s gathered information from authors writing for various romance lines (yours truly included) and has presented their open and honest comments for you all to read and enjoy.
Kate has been writing popular romance for more than 16 years and has over 40 books published. Not only that but she is a great tutor in workshop and conference situations as well. Believe me, what she doesn’t know about the industry, probably isn’t worth knowing.
Yay, my first four star review! 
Pat Cooper, reviewer for Romantic Times, had this to say about my June release JEALOUSY & A JEWELLED PROPOSITION (book 6 in the Diamonds Down Under Continuity):
Matt Hammond finally has what he needs to bring down the mighty Blackstones and get back what they stole from his family, but first he has to squelch the rumors that his young son really belongs to the man he suspects of being his late wife’s lover. Nanny Rachel Kincaid has been in love with Matt since she was a teenager and now, living with him to care for his son, she sees the changes years of bitterness have caused. Yvonne Lindsay wraps up the Diamonds Down Under series with Jealousy and a Jewelled Proposition (4), which has a tight plot and a surprise ending.
We have a Q&A with Diana Ventimiglia and led by Jan Colley on the Diamonds Down Under blog this week. All commenters will go in the draw to win either a critique by Diana for their work or, if you’re a reader rather than a writer, a gift pack of books from the DDU authors.
Remember too, the critique from Senior Editor for Silhouette Desire, Melissa Jeglinksi, is still up for grabs. Make sure you you comment on that blog to be in to win.
I spotted an excellent blog, by Nicola Marsh, on the Pink Heart Society blogsite last weekend. To read it, click here!
There’s some excellent advice and suggestions.
I think too often we let our fears hold us back from what we’re truly capable of. Kate Walker once told me, “Be Brave!” So I challenge any of you who like to write to do the same.
Have you always had a burning question you’ve wanted to ask a Silhouette Desire editor? Well, if so, now’s your opportunity. My very lovely editor, Diana Ventimiglia, is currently on the eHarlequin.com board here!
Boy those words look odd when you type them one after the other!
Anyway, just wanted to pop in and say that I am BUSY! And I love being busy, especially when it’s writing busy. This week I accepted a new contract offer to do an online read for eHarlequin! I’m really excited about the opportunity, and the prospect of writing a romance that’s only 10,000 words long 
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on which way you look at it) I’ll probably be a little scarce on my blog as I juggle my current deadline and the new online deadline.
At the moment I’m trying to finish one book and thinking hard out about how I can incorporate the setting and introduce the characters of my August release (Claiming His Runaway Bride) in the online read. I’m open to suggestions on story themes so if you have any favourites feel free to run them past me.
I know I’ve had a discussion before on eBooks and readers but I’m very happy to say that someone pointed out to me that my Palm Z22 does support reading eBooks. Lo and behold, on my installation disk was an eReader file to download (who knew?) So, I’m delving into the realms of eBooks very happily. My only problem being that my screen is virtually unreadable in strong sunlight (and yes, I’ve checked my brightness and contrast settings.) Anyway, I digress, but suffice to say I’m very happy dabbling in this new world. While I’ll still buy my keepers in print, there’s something very special about seeing them on the bookcase and running your hand across the spines, I can also see a whole new world out there in eBooks that makes me very excited as a reader.
So, it was fortuitous when I received an email from Diesel eBooks requesting a link back from my website AND an offer of a 20% off coupon for readers wanting to buy my books in eBook format from them for the next 45 days. So, if you would like to see my Diesel eBooks and take advantage of the 20% off coupon remember to put in this code–LIND67aab–at the checkout!
Happy eBook reading!
The road of true love is never smooth. Seeking distraction today, from a poor page count of my own, I surfed others love stories and happened across this one.
To be totally honest with you, I love what he came up with, but what a crying shame that he couldn’t hold onto the string just that little bit longer!
What would you do in his loved one’s place? The same as she has done or would you forgive and forget and say “yes” anyway?
I’m inclined to think that perhaps the bride-to-be is not as harsh as has been depicted in this item, however, if she really is then perhaps the groom-to-be should be rethinking who he wants to spend the rest of his life with!
