Hey all, today/tomorrow (depending on your timezone, it's almost tomorrow here, I can't sleep, and it has nothing to do with the fact that one or both of my dogs chewed up a notebook I left on the coffee table, a notebook that had stuff I'd written for the new story idea. Thank God I'd already typed it up on my laptop!
Where was I?
Oh yeah, today/tomorrow, I'm visiting Romance Vagabonds and giving away a book from my backlist, please drop by and read what I have to say about the realism of Regency bad girls!Current Mood:  awake |

My blog tour continues, promoting my new release ONE MORE TIME (which hit the bookshelves early). And today I am over at the History Hoydens. I'll be there until Thursday, when my research article goes online there.Current Mood: awake |

My blog tour starts today and I'm blogging at not one, not two, but three, blogs! (And I'm giving away a prize at one of them.)
And they're all on different subjects! To whit, an interview, secondary characters and the glamorous writing life.
See you there!Current Mood: chipper |

Well, given that my book is coming out next month, I thought it might be a good idea if I, you know, actually talk about it.
It’s called ONE MORE TIME, and is out under Kensington’s Aphrodisia line. I was so thrilled when I got the word that I made RT’s Top Pick list! (Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine). Here’s part of the review:
“This scorching roller-coaster of a read is an erotic page-turner. It has romance, intrigue, licentious nobility, a Greek god come to life and an unexpected ending. Feisty Abby and sensual Myles are the perfect couple to surmount the obstacles in their way. This may have been the first book I've read by Hart, but it certainly won't be the last!”
4.5 stars, Bella March, Romantic Times Bookclub Magazine
Yup, a Greek god come to life. It’s quite possibly no secret that I fell for the Greek god, even if he isn’t exactly the good guy. But well, he has his reasons.
What might be a secret is that there’s more paranormal to this book than the heroine’s trip back in time. For some reason, I didn’t want to “spoil” the Greek god’s appearance, but hey, I’m pretty sure that’s him on the cover. (Hard to tell, I don’t think either the hero or the Greek god would bother with a towel.)
Here’s what the back cover blurb says:
“Travel back to a world where lords and ladies ruled the ton by day and wild, wanton abandon ruled them at night...
Abby Deane has no problems piloting a small plane to her new job -- until she lands and realizes she has traveled back in time to Regency England. She's fascinated by everything around her, especially the seductive Myles Hardy. If she can't get back to her own time, she might as well enjoy the potent sensuality simmering beneath that rock hard body...
Myles Hardy can't take his eyes off the mysterious and alluring woman who's suddenly appeared in front of him. Miss Abby Deane talks of the future, but it is pleasuring her here and now that most intrigues him. And her bag of sensual delights holds the key to revealing her most secret desires and forbidden fantasies...”
Greek god? What Greek god? But there’s even more paranormal stuff going on than just that. But I’m not going to spoiler that either. You’ll have to read it.
Oh and guess who makes a return? The Wintertons from SHOW ME. It occurs after the events in that book, so I’m not going to tell you how things are going there -- you’ll just have to read for yourself!
