Audio deal: "A Duke in Shining Armor" for $5.99—and other news

This seems to be a great time for deals. The other day, we had one of those rare Australia eBook deals. Now we’ve got a new one for the U.S. and Canada from Chirp Audio.

For a limited time (and unfortunately, I don’t know the exact time limit), the first Difficult Dukes book, A Duke in Shining Armor, is available from Chirp Audio for a mere $5.99. No subscription required. If you haven’t yet heard Kate Reading’s wonderful way of creating an entire world with just her voice and brains and acting ability, now is an excellent time. If you already own the audio, here’s a nice way to make a gift or two.

And what have I been doing lately? you might ask. Signing my name to exactly a jillion title pages.

These brave pens gave their all for the JQ edition of Lord of Scoundrels. Thanks to them, the pages are on their way to be part of a truly beautiful special edition of my book.


A September Kindle deal for readers in Australia

UK/AUS/NZ eBook edition of A Duke in Shining Armor

Most of the deals I report are for U.S. and Canada only, so I’m delighted to announce a Kindle deal for Australia.

The first of the Difficult Dukes Series, A Duke in Shining Armor, is on sale for AUD 1.49 for the entire month of September. My Difficult Dukes find themselves dealing with even more Difficult Women, much to their enlightenment (and other things). In this one, the Duke of Ripley tries to return a a runaway bride to her bridegroom. If you haven’t started the series yet, or want to make a gift of the first volume, now is an excellent time!

An Evening at Lovestruck Books

So Queen Victoria’s a vampire and the Devil wants to visit a church bazaar…

That’s a glimpse into the world of Demons and Democracy. It’s a funny and spicy book, with a wonderful cast of characters, some human but mostly not. My friend Megan Frampton wrote it, and author Felicia Davin and I helped celebrate its release recently at Lovestruck Books in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Yes, Cambridge, in Harvard Square. There, once, years ago, when I entered bookstores and asked where the Romance section was, eyebrows went up and lips curled, as though I had committed a vulgarity. Well, times have changed, and Harvard Square now has its very own all-Romance bookstore.

We had a lovely time talking about Demons and Democracy, the writing process, and other things. As you’ll note, we had a nicely mixed group, with men for once not underrepresented! Felicia kept things moving with interesting questions, there was quite a bit of laughter, and our audience asked a few at the end, with more laughter ensuing. I think a good time was had by all.

If you’re in the area, Lovestruck Books is well worth a stop—and maybe an hour or more browsing and shopping. The staff are amazing: efficient, cheerful (oh, happy, it seems, and who could blame them?) and incredibly helpful. The event ran without a hitch. If you’re looking for signed copies of our books, you might want to give them a call.
