Good Monday All!
Hope you had a great weekend and you're planning on recommending some fabulous books to us.
I'm making this blog short and sweet today. Got lots to do on CHANCES ARE. I think Jake, Angela and I have finally hit our stride and we're headed for the home stretch. This might be the longest novella in novella history but I'm hoping to see the end this week--or at least a reasonable facsimile.
So tell us, what great books did you read last week that we should be reading, too?
Have a great week everyone. And I really, really hope that very very soon I'll be sharing all of CHANCES ARE with you. Wish us luck!

Recommend Monday!
Good Monday All!
Hope you had a good weekend. After almost two solid weeks of rain and clouds, our weather here has turned lovely--sunny and 60ish--which makes me ache for Springtime. However, I do hope we get a few more frigid days. Is there anything better than curling up with a good book in front of a roaring fire? LOL Okay, there are a few things that are better but that's right up there, don't you think?
Last week was a pivotal week for Jake and Angela. Hearts were broken, lives were in danger, villains ran rampant. This week I'm hoping for some healing for Jake and Angela and a major comeuppance for one very nasty villain.
As I mentioned on Facebook, CHANCES ARE is over 42,000 words and still going strong, which means it's going to be much longer that a typical novella. Hope that's okay with everyone! I have to write until the end and so far, I haven't seen it! (:
I have a recommendation! Last week I read a book that's been on my shelf forever by new to me author JT Ellison. 14, A Taylor Jackson novel. I enjoyed it and definitely want to read more. It's not the first book in the series but I don't think it inhibited the story at all. Not a lot of romance but still a wonderful hero and heroine to root for. And not too gritty for those who shy away from heavy suspense books. A good, solid read!
I was excited to see that Ella Grace's MIDNIGHT LIES is now up for pre-order. Only on Amazon so far and just the paperback. When the eBook and B&N's buttons go up, I'll post those links. Here's the Amazon link: MIDNIGHT LIES.
Do you have a favorite comfort food? If so, be sure to come by Ella's Midnight Tales blog on Friday where Faye of Faye's Diner will be sharing one of her favorite comfort food recipes. I have a couple of ARCs of MIDNIGHT SECRETS up for grabs.
Okay, that's it for me. I'm headed to London today where I'm going to do my best to fix things between Jake and Angela. Wish me luck!
Now, tell us what we should be reading!

Recommend Monday
Good Monday Everyone!
Hope you had a good week and found some fabulous reads to tell us about. It's rainy and cloudy here in Bama...seems like forever since we've seen the sun. However, days like this are great for writing and reading. Curling up with a cup of hot tea and a good book is the perfect prescription for a rainy day, don't you think?
I've been concentrating hard on CHANCES ARE, hoping to get it finished soon so I can get it out to you. Because of that, I'm behind on emails and mailings. Hope to get those taken care of this week, so if I owe you a response or a package, be patient, they're coming!
Lots of exciting things are coming up over the next few months. With nine LCR books being released in the UK, one each month, there are going to be lots of opportunities to win a signed LCR book with it's hot new cover. Another thing I love about these books is that they're trade paperback size, which definitely enhances those sexy covers. If you're in the UK, all the books are up for order or pre-order on both paperback and eBook.
If you're on Goodreads and in the U.S., I have exciting news. My publisher is giving away 100 AREs of MIDNIGHT SECRETS, Ella Grace's first book in the Wildefire series. Here's the link to enter: MIDNIGHT SECRETS Goodreads giveaway
Last week I received paperback ARCs of MIDNIGHT SECRETS. Be sure to come over to the Ella Grace blog tomorrow for a chance to win a signed ARC. I'm still sighing over the beautiful and yummy cover!
I'm trying to keep my promise of reading more this year and so I have a recommend. I recently read Jill Sorenson's Aftershock and really enjoyed it. Very edge of the seat reading! I think this is the first book in a new series and I'm excited to read the other two when they're released.
Okay, I'm headed back to London to see what Jake and Angela have gotten themselves into. So glad it's winter there because they're definitely heating things up!
Have a great week everyone. Can't wait to hear about your recommended reads. And don't forget to come see me tomorrow on my Ella Grace blog for a MIDNIGHT SECRETS giveaway!

Happy New Year!!!
Hey Everybody! Hope you had a fabulous Christmas and your new year has started off spectacularly. So sorry to be MIA lately. Went away for the holidays. Though I'm back, I'm delaying announcing the winner of prizes once again. Sorry it's taking me so long but I came back to over 400 emails and messages and I'm slogging my way through them as fast as possible. The good news is, you can leave a recommendation right here on this blog so you can have one more entry. And I promise, Monday morning, on our regular Recommend Monday, the winners will be announced. Woohoo!
Till then, hope you're reading some fabulous books. Talk to you soon!
