I had some awesome news last night; Ecstasy Unveiled is now celebrating THREE WEEKS on the USA Today bestseller list! OMG! Lore has done really, really well, and to celebrate, I'm giving away books!

I'll give away one copy of any of my Ione books, one copy of any of my Croft books, and because it's Jaci Burton's birthday today, I'll give away a copy of Riding Wild too!

Just tell me in the comments which Ione book OR Sydney Croft book you'd like, and then let me know if you've read Jaci...

Today I'll be doing a blogtalk radio interview at 2PM EST.

Also, recently Lore and Wraith have had awesome news, but I'm excited to announce that Shade is no longer feeling left out, because his book, Desire Unchained, won the CAPA award for Best Paranormal Romance 2009 at The Romance Studio!

WTG, Shade!

I'm just so proud of that sweet little demon!

I just learned (I'm a little late - been down with a migraine for days, but yesterday it hit critical mass and left me curled in a ball under my covers for a good 18 hours) that Passion Unleashed won a CataNetwork Reviewer's Choice Award for 2009!

Yay!

I'll be doing a blogtalk radio interview on February...

I thought this was really fun and wanted to share…Kimi Alexandre from Talechasing made these voice book promos. I love toys like this…and she did a really great job!

Listen to Diana Pharoah Francis's book promo for her urban fantasy Bitter Night:

Squee!!!

I just found out that Ecstasy Unveiled not only hit the New York Times bestseller list for the second week in a row, but it hit the PRINT list at #20!!!! OMG!!!

I'm so excited! Thanks once again to all you amazing readers who have been buying the books and supporting this series. Writing it has been a dream come true, and y'all made it happen!

THANK YOU!!!

You know, any time anyone has something positive to say about my books, I'm thrilled. Beyond thrilled. But when authors whose work is simply amazing, authors who I go fangirl over, talk about my books, I'm floored. It means so much to have someone whose work you admire like your books.

I still feel so new at this, like I don't belong with the cool people who actually know what they're doing and seem to do it so effortlessly.

One of those people is Gena Showalter, who talked about Ecstasy U...

Exciting news, and not just for me!!!!

My hands are STILL shaking, and I found all this stuff out yesterday afternoon, but…Ecstasy Unveiled hit #58 on the USA Today list, which is a big jump from #81, which was where Passion Unleashed debuted.

AND…Lore also jumped 10 spots on the New York Times, putting Ecstasy Unveiled at #23 on the NYT!!!! Squeeeeee!!!!!!

Nope.

My awesome Sydney Croft buddy, Stephanie...

First off, I just want to say that I have the BEST readers in the world. I really do. Just when I'm beginning to understand why some authors limit their web presence and access to them (I've been dealing with mega-crazy harassment lately) support and encouragement comes in huge, happy waves. So thank you to everyone who has been so wonderful.

In other news…my editor just informed me that Ecstasy Unveiled hit #8 on the Borders Romance bestseller list! Again, another huge thank you to everyone w...
