August 2007
Issue four of this newsletter has me pumped. We’re now at over 700 members! Welcome and thanks to all of you for being interested.
IT’S TIME TO CELEBRATE!
The winner of last issue’s Name Book Two of the Naughty Ladies of Nice contest is:
Tessa Bamberg – FRENCH DELIGHTS. We chose this title because it could refer to yummy desserts or even better sex.
Tessa won a free download of NOT WITHOUT RISK by Sarah Grimm.
There were several hundred entries which made the decision extremely difficult. Thank you all for playing along.
Aspen Mountain Press has offered me a contract for FRANCINE ON FIRE which I signed faster than a Nascar driver on the winning lap. The book is due to release September 28. There’ll be a lot of cheering and partying that night in Indiana. Check out Aspen Mountain’s website at aspenmountainpress.com. Four synopses are in the hands of their owners. I’m waiting to hear a favorable decision.
And there’s more!!
Eternal Press, out of Australia, has contracted me for the Naughty Ladies of Nice series. The first book, FRENCH TART, will release in September. The exact date hasn’t been set. They’re a brand new publisher with many talented authors. Check them out at eternalpress.com.au.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE
My oldest granddaughter turned ten in July. Kid, as I lovingly call her, has wanted to see Wicked since its début two years ago. Studs and I surprised her with matinee tickets, her first train ride, and dinner afterwards at Olive Garden. She loved every minute of the day. During the play, her chocolate eyes were the size of saucers. At least fifteen times that night she looked over and in a voice filled with awe said how much she loved it all. It was one of the best days of my life.
ON WRITING
Shadow Rose Publishing has requested TASTE OF THE DRAGON. I’m doing my best to get this completed and to them in quick time. Cruise on over to shadowrosepublishing.com for some excellent reads.
Now it’s time for me to set a serious writing schedule. Looks like my social life and Mah Jong playing has come to an end for the next six months.
CONTEST
It’s time for another Newsletter Members Only Contest.
I’m searching for the title of a new book I want to write. It takes place in New York at a five-star restaurant. The American heroine has graduated from the finest school on wines in France. She was the only female student so her training was tough. Now that she is a sommelier in a male dominated career her life is even harder. The book is ultra sexy.
The prize is a free download of CLUTCH ME IF YOU CAN by Rochelle Rae Hensler. It’s a fine book. Please email your entries to sloanetaylor@comcast.net and type CONTEST on the subject line. The drawing will be held September 16 and announced September 17 on my blog. Good luck!
