First: I want to congratulate all the Golden Heart and RITA finalists. I am so proud of all my fellow GSRWA (Greater Seattle Romance Writers of America) and Beau Monde (the Regency RWA chapter) members and Dorchester authors who finalled!

Alert reader Barb (I read the complete works of Dave Barry at a formative age, I am giving in to the instinct to say "alert reader" right now) sent me this awesome video of "Great Big Sea" performing the song. Isn't the singer cute? He kind of reminds me of Christian Kane[...:]

1. A number of people have been asking me about e-books for In for a Penny. I'm sorry it's taken me so long to figure this one out; the deal is that Dorchester's e-book program is still a little new and the releases aren't quite simultaneous yet. But the e-book version is [...:]

Two new blog tour things up today:
1. I was part of my first podcast yesterday! I was a guest on Danielle Monsch's Romantically Speaking. Here's her description of our conversation:
So what was discussed? Georgette Heyer vs. Jane Austen, East Coast vs. West Coast, Gerard Butler vs. Christina Hendricks, and Kirk vs. [...:]

1. I'm guest-blogging over at The Season today! I talk about costume drama monster movies I'd like to see (like vampire Crusaders or Lieutenant Hornblower and the Kraken). The person to suggest my favorite costume drama monster movie concept in the comments gets a signed book!

My blog tour continues today! I'm talking about my deep-seated ambivalence about Georgette Heyer, Jane Austen, and trying to be taken seriously over at the Book Smugglers.
