I waited one day extra day for the March Wrap-Up so I could include a gaggle of new excerpts, freshly posted to respective sites today. But first…
NEW BOOKS:
MONICA MCCARTY released Highland Scoundrel last week and today we posted NYT and USAToday bestseller news. We are not surprised. This rounds out Monica’s Campbell trilogy, so now all you like me who have been waiting for all three to be out so we can read them bang-bang-bang can now indulge. Website Value-Add: I have said it before, and I say it again because it really is just that good: Monica’s Special Features section. Go there and get lost in it.
ELIZABETH BOYLE. I know for a fact that there is a hard core group out there who have been impatiently waiting for Tally’s story (Pippin is next month. Alas, more waiting.) Confessions of a Little Black Gown is now available. (Insert applause, whooping and hooting in glee.) Website Value-Add: Follow the series with The Bachelor Chronicles Family Tree. Follow the knitting on Elizabeth’s blog.
KARMA WILSON rhymes her way through 100 outrageously silly yet sometimes philosophic poems in What’s the Weather Inside? It’s aimed at children aged 9-12, (but really, for anyone who was once 9, 10, 11, or 12). Website Value-Add: The illustrations are stunning and edgy, and you can see a sample of them on Karma’s site.
JENESI ASH contributed an erotic short story in the anthology Naughty Bits, penned by some of the genre’s best authors. Website Value-Add: Very spicy online excerpts. Very.
LORI FOSTER gave us an old favorite: Scandalous, newly reissued with a new cover. Website Value-Add: Lori’s site is a content-rich fan heaven. The whole site is designed to give more-more-more to readers. Check out what I mean in this recent WaxBlog.

Emily, fabulous job on generating excitement. I have read all previous five books by Monica McCarty. I’m not just a fan but a fan-girl of hers, too. I knew a sixth was coming up, but hadn’t been able to make it out to the stores to get it yet. Then I read your post this morning, immediately jumped to Monica’s website to pore over all her “extras,” and was waiting outside Target at 9 o’clock when the doors opened. I’m a quarter of the way through the book.
What can I say?! You make my wallet jump!!
Fabulous. My work here is done. (Happy face back atcha!)
Keira,
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying the books. Too funny about being at Target bright and early when the doors opened– I love it! Hope you enjoy the rest of Scoundrel.
And thanks to Emily for the props! I agree with Keira, you do do a fabulous job generating excitement.
And I forgot to say…a fabulous website, too.
Monica, it was superb!!! *sigh*Duncan*sigh*
Thank you for these fabulous stories of honor and courage, loyalty and convictions.
Here’s a photo of Monica’s books on the shelves of Target…
