To Christo and Natalie

Thursday, January 15th, 2009


PJ here.

Anne just sent up a flare telling me that Christo and Natalie have left England headed for the copyeditor in Canada. So . . . no more revisions!

Whew.

Anne is pleased. I’m pleased — because that mean I can get back to my once-and-forever wife, Ally, now. And, of course, Christo and Natalie are vastly relieved.

Break out the champagne!

Really glad to see all the entries for the Here Come the Grooms contest coming in. Remember, if you haven’t already entered, you can do so until January 21st. The questions are below. Keep scrolling down.

I’ll be back to tell you about Jago’s book, Wedded in a Whirlwind. I can see what he means about Manda having a kick like a mule now. But, given the circumstances, I reckon he deserved it.

The book kept Anne up until 1:30 this morning. She thinks it’s dynamite. She gave it to me this morning so I could read and “understand” Nick Jago.

Well, I don’t know about that. But it’s a good book. I’ll be back tomorrow and tell you a bit more.

Anne . . . flattened

Monday, January 12th, 2009


Hey. PJ here.

Anne says to tell you she’s been flattened by a bus. Or it feels that way.

She was up all night with Christo and Natalie and she’s gone to bed with Burn Notice and isn’t coming out until either Christo and Natalie come back for more revisions or she’s seen all of Burn Notice or I run out of things to say.

She’s hoping for the second alternative, praying like mad that Christo and Natalie stay gone (though by 7 a.m. this morning she could be heard muttering, I think it tracks. I think it tracks. I think it tracks. But how would I know?) .

Christo says it tracks and he got to spend a lot of time in the bedroom, so he’s happy. Natalie says it tracks and they got a happily ever after so she’s happy. And she just poked Christo and he said he’s happy about that, too. And from the look of him — a little tattered around the edges, but definitely grinning — he’s telling the truth.

Anne figures Burn Notice will be a nice distraction. And she’s sure I have plenty to say — especially since I’ve seen that Nick “prop me up on an altar and give me a bottle of booze” Jago is making crap out of me and Santos on Liz’s website.

I would defend my honor — and the marriage I’ve had to put out of my head — but Jago is so far off the mark that I can’t even dignify his comments.

As Santos is on the same island at least, I’m going to let him take care of things for both of us!

Just let me say that he’s darned lucky to find a woman like Manda who will put up with him. And since he’s saying things like “cancel the honeymoon” — though God knows what he means — I want Manda to know I’ve got a kid brother, Lukas, who might be just the man she’s looking for. Truly.

If you get fed up with Jago, Manda, give me a shout. I’ll muster up Lukas and introduce you.

Aside to Liz: how did you put up with him?

Don’t forget, people, if you want copies of Santos’s book and mine — and the one where Jago is an idiot — answer the questions in the Here Come the Grooms contest piece. Send your answers to Anne and Liz and Kate by January 21.

You’ll be glad you did.

Here Come The Grooms . . . Again!

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009


It’s back!

The 3rd Annual Here Come The Grooms! Contest starts January 7, 2009 and runs through January 21, 2009.

What does this mean to you?

Depends on if you want three chances to win three new books.

For the last three years Kate Walker, Liz Fielding and I have had Grooms come and take over our blogs — not to mention our lives — in January. It all began when we all had books out in February 2007, and they all had the word “Bride” in the title.

We thought our brides would like to host a “Here Come The Brides” contest on our sites. And they did.

But they had so much fun that the grooms decided they’d get into the act, too. So they pretty much hijacked the month. They ran their own contest — and their successors, the 2008 grooms, came back and did it again last year.

Not to be outdone, PJ Antonides (my guy) from Antonides’ Forbidden Wife, Santos Cordero (Kate’s guy) from Cordero’s Forced Bride, and Nick Jago (Liz’s guy) from Bedded in a Whirlwind, have been lurking around waiting for their turn.

It’s here.

We’ll be introducing you to each of them in the next few days.

And they’ll be along to blog. At least I’m sure PJ will.

I suppose Jago and Santos will be, too. In the meantime, PJ says that he has his question ready and you can find it and the answer to it (if you’re in a hurry) on the contest page of my website. The other grooms’ questions are there, too.

Just click on the tab there and answer the questions (look in the excerpts or on our blogs for the answers) and you will be entered in PJ’s drawing which will be after the contest ends January 21. Do the same thing on Liz’s and Kate’s websites and you have THREE chances to win.

PJ says that if you have already bought his book (which he hopes you have), and you win, he will either send you a backlist title of your choice (providing he can find it in my attic) or a copy of my upcoming Savas’ Defiant Mistress when the first author copies finally arrive.

That’s if you’re into delayed gratification, he says. As he has had to wait ten years for his wife to turn back up in his life, PJ understands all about delayed gratification.

He’ll be back later this week to blog.
