Back Cover Copy...

Here's the back cover copy for Jericho's book:

“I’M NOT THE MARRYING KIND.”

After being jilted by her longtime boyfriend, Marnie Jones was on the move. But from the moment she rolled into Texas and clashed with sexy rebel Jericho Bravo, she was finding all sorts of reasons to stay put. Too bad the rugged loner couldn’t say the same....

Or could he? Because Jericho was making Marnie believe in second chances—that he
was the man she wanted to settle down with…forever. Was the proud, wary loner
willing to risk his heart? Because he already owned hers....

...And yes, I put the cover up again. Click on it to see a nice, big image that I got from the wonderful Maureen Stead who handles cover art for authors at Harlequin.

I really love this cover. So romantic. And he's a really big guy and she's--well, not petite. Petite makes her sound delicate. Marnie Jones is so not delicate. But she's a small woman, small and strong. And I think you get the sense of that in this cover. She looks like she's on tiptoe for the kiss.

Cover for A BRIDE FOR JERICHO BRAVO

Yes, the covers seem to be coming fast and furious lately.

Found this on Amazon this morning. I love it! This book is my March 2010 release. It's a Hill Country wedding scene. Jericho designs and builds custom choppers. And the heroine is Marnie Jones, who first appeared as a child in the third Jones Gang book, SWEETBRIAR SUMMIT.

What do you think?

The Annual Tree Photo...

So every year, after I put up the tree, I try to get a nice picture of it. The pictures are never as good as it actually looks.

Honest!

But this year, I tried again...

These three are...no flash, slow flash and full flash. I think I like the slow flash best.

And yet, somehow the fabulousness of my tree is not quite captured. Could it be the fabulousness is all in my head? If so, I have to tell you, wish you could see what I see.

First Chapters and a Back Cover Blurb...

Here's that back cover copy I promised for VALENTINE BRIDE:

FROM HOUSEKEEPER TO BLUSHING BRIDE?

Regal, reserved Irina Lukovic was the perfect live-in housekeeper. Until she found out she was being sent back to her war-torn homeland. So Caleb Bravo came up with the ideal solution…one where they’d still be living together on a more permanent basis.…The handsome bachelor proposed!

Irina couldn’t believe that the footloose mogul was giving up his freedom for her. But now that they were officially husband and wife, she suddenly yearned to belong to Caleb in more than name only. To be his wife...in every sense of the word...

And the first chapter is up on my website. Go here to have a look.

I also put up the first chapter for my March 2010 release, A BRIDE FOR JERICHO BRAVO. You can read that here.

My plan is to get up first chapters way ahead, so check my excerpt page now and then to see what's new!

And Happy Holidays!
