BIG NEWS!

Since it's out in this morning's Publishers Marketplace, I get to share some awesome news with you! I have a new series coming out and a shiny new name to go with it! I finally get to have that alter-ego I've always wanted! LOL! Here are the deets:

Mandy Baxter's ONE NIGHT MORE, the first title in an ultra-sexy contemporary romance series about alpha US Marshals and the complicated women who love them, to Esi Sogah at Kensington, a three-book deal, by Natanya Wheeler of Nancy Yost Literary Agency (world).

I can't wait to share these stories with all of you!

Shaedes of Gray ARC Winner

Thanks so much to everyone who left a comment on my ARC giveaway post! I asked readers to guess who was hiding behind the SHAEDES OF GRAY galley in this picture:

There were some great guesses, my all-time favorite being Newt Gingrich (thanks for that, Hillary!!). I love that most of you thought the girl behind the book was my daughter. But the fabulous woman behind the book is none other than...drumroll, please...

My uber awesome, kick-ass agent, Natanya Wheeler! A correct guess was not required to be entered in the giveaway, so everyone who made a guess was eligible. I'll be giving more ARCs away over the next couple of months, so if you don't get one this go around, there will be other chances. Thanks to random.org, I've selected a name from the pool of commenters, and the winner of the SHAEDES OF GRAY ARC is...
GiGi! Congrats! I'll be emailing you today for your mailing address. I hope you enjoy the first book in the Shaede Assassin Series!
