Pink On My Desk
An early, early copy of the mass market Secret History of the Pink Carnation arrived for me last night, courtesy of my lovely paperback editor. Here it is, in situ on my desk (with an ARC of Mistletoe behind it): Only a month and a day until Publication Day!
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
I’m afraid I don’t have a proper round-up this week (blah, blah, Pink IX, blah, blah), but I do have a new favorite author I’ve just discovered. And by discovered, I mean my ever-brilliant college roommate Claudia put the books in a box and mailed them to me, with a large note saying, “Read these!”…
Read MoreA MISTLETOE Outtake
Several people have been asking me recently about the fate of Tommy Fluellen, Robert’s best friend from The Temptation of the Night Jasmine. I can’t give you any major news on that front (I’m still working it out), but Tommy did have a brief look-in in The Mischief of the Mistletoe— until he got cut…
Read MoreOne month to mass market Pink!
Happy September, all! Stay tuned for Secret History of the Pink Carnation trivia and contests coming up as we celebrate a Month of Pink….

Read MoreMISTLETOE Audio
If you ordered a Mischief of the Mistletoe audio CD, you’ve probably received a cancellation notice by now.

This only affects Mistletoe. The Orchid Affair, also…

Many apologies for the internet silence recently…. There’s been a lot of off-line writing going on. In the meantime, save the date for a New York reading of The Mischief of the Mistletoe on December 6th! I’ll be reading at Lady Jane’s Salon, along with Hope Tarr and Jacquie D’Alessandro. Other tour locations for Mistletoe…
Read MorePink I in Mass Market!
As someone who grew up believing that the Beatles’ Paperback Writer was a vocational theme song, I’m counting down the days until The Secret History of the Pink Carnation makes its mass market paperback debut. Today? After a long stretch of “no image available”, Amazon just posted the new paperback cover of Pink I. It’s…

After that last minute excursion to the bookstore last week, here’s what wound up in the book pile:
Read MoreA Pink Collage
I had never heard of the site Polyvore before, but the talented Tara just sent me a link to her Pink Carnation-inspired collage: Pretty, no?
Read MoreTurnip's Raspberry Jam
It shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that Turnip Fitzhugh, hero of The Mischief of the Mistletoe, has something of a sweet tooth. Turnip may not be so keen on mince pie, but he has a distinct taste for raspberry jam (both as comestible and metaphor). There’s a bit of art/life confluence here. After a bout…
