Berkley redid my cover to The Perfect Play and added the series title and changed me to New York Times Bestselling author, which, seeing that on a book of mine for the very first time, admittedly made me a little weepy.
And really, y’all are going to get tired of seeing this cover aren’t you? No? Okay. :giggle:
I should be getting galleys for this book soon, which means it’s almost finished, which means I’ll have an excerpt up soon. And ARCs! Wheee!
Busy this week getting caught up and juggling. Always juggling.
But thought I’d give you an update on my upcoming books.
I finished edits on ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS, my holiday novella release for Carina Press. ALL SHE WANTS FOR CHRISTMAS will release on December 6th, so mark your calendars. It’s a contemporary romance (not erotic) and I’m very excited about the story. I’ll post an excerpt as soon as I get a finalized copy. I have seen the back cover copy and it’s pretty awesome, so I’ll share that soon as soon as it’s final. And hopefully I’ll have a cover to show you shortly, too!
As I mentioned earlier, there will be another NAUTI & WILD anthology, which Lora Leigh and I are so excited about! And since many of you have read RIDING THE NIGHT (thank you!) and have asked me if that book is the last Wild Riders book, the answer is yes. There will be another Wild Riders story in the next Nauti and Wild anthology, which will be released late 2011. As to who the characters will be in that Wild Riders story? Well, I don’t know yet. Still thinking about it. Might be someone you know, might be someone totally new. Stay tuned. More info to come.
Still working diligently on my romantic suspense. THE HEART OF A KILLER will release in September, 2011, and will be my first mass market paperback released by MIRA. I’m so excited about this series, though right now I’m deeply bogged down in storytelling and craft and would very much like to kill off my difficult characters. (Worry not. This is part of my process. Once the book’s finished I’ll love them again.) :giggle:
And of course there’s my Play by Play sports series with Berkley Heat which will debut with THE PERFECT PLAY in February, 2011, which I talked about in a previous post. So far there are two books completed, four books definitely to come. Very excited about this series.
So if you have any questions about upcoming books, ask away!
It’s football season, people!
I love me some football. Here at casa Burton, we love us some college football, and we fly the flag of the Oklahoma Sooners (OU) proudly. We wear the red Sooner jerseys on Saturdays and we don’t miss a game. Just fyi, the Sooners are 3-0 so far for the season.
Since Oklahoma doesn’t have a professional football team, we tend to follow where our Sooners go. So we’ve been following running back Adrian Peterson who now plays for the Minnesota Vikings, and this year Sam Bradford, who was the #1 Draft Pick and is now the starting quarterback for the St. Louis Rams. And yes, I did buy a Bradford jersey to wear on Sundays, even though from the looks of the Rams 0 and 2 start, it’s going to be a long and painful season. (The Vikings are also 0 and 2. I think Favre should have retired).
I have always loved football. I grew up in St Louis, back when the Cardinals played there and not in Arizona like they do now. And when I got married and moved to northern California, my ex husband and I became 49er fans.
Now though, Biker Dude and I are firmly in the camp of the Sooner nation. And the Rams. And to some extent, the Vikings. Yes, my loyalties are odd that way. Bottom line is, I love the game. Which is one of the reasons I wrote this book:
Really, I just wanted to post the cover to THE PERFECT PLAY again. I know this will make Jane happy.
No, you don’t have to thank me. :giggle:
So…are y’all football lovers? College or pro or both? Name your team if you are. Or do you just not care and prefer to be reading or shopping when the game is on?
