Daughters of Fortune … new series

Jul 30th 2011

I’m THRILLED to announce the first book in my new Gilded Age series releases on Monday. Book 1 in the Daughters of Fortune series Heiress is available for purchase everywhere books are sold! I’ve created a short ‘behind the scenes’ videos, check it out…

 

 

 

 

I’m thrilled with the advance reviews like this one …

 

At first glance, HEIRESS seems similar to other series set in the Golden Age of New York. In reality, the book is like nothing ever written. The word “fantastic” is, perhaps, the only word that can describe it. Jinx, Esme and the full cast of characters are exquisitely well-developed, to the point, in fact, that it’s almost unbelievable that they are not real, historical figures. The plot twists and turns so beautifully, subtly and surprisingly that it turns HEIRESS into the definition of a “page-turner.” The creativity of the character’s evolution, the problems they face and the worlds they choose to live in are amazing. A first in a series, HEIRESS bodes well for the future. This reviewer, in fact, cannot wait to snap up a copy. –Romance Junkies

 

My publicist is cooking up all sorts of Gilded Age fun, so stay tuned for some exciting announcements.

Some June Photos.

I was emptying out my phone and came across these fabulous photos that pretty much sum up the past month. I know you’re just dying to see them. *g*

 

 

Super Pete and his cute girlfriend Molly.  Peter believes in dressing like it is the height of winter regardless of the season.  A true Minnesotan (while his lovely girlfriend would gladly be getting a tan.  Poor girl is blessed with the lily white skin of a northerner, but we love her attempts!)  they both run the 200…so cute!  (Pete absolutely loves it when I say that, so I do it as often as possible.)

 

How can my little twerp have turned into the good looking lad below?  (and landed such a cute prom date?)

 

 

Peter and Molly at Prom.

 

And how did my cute little girl become the lovely princess below?

 

Sarah at prom

 

Sarah went to prom with the local pastor’s son.  I totally approved.

 

Sarah’s gradation party? – A Christmas Theme.   Because, well…it was for Sarah, the Girl Who Loves Christmas.  (Actually, I think it was a dare. Me:  Sarah, what kind of theme do you want for your Graduation party?  Sarah:  I don’t want a party.  Me:  Of course you have to have a party (because I love parties and after raising her for 18 years, I think we definitely need some sort of celebration.  Really.)  Sarah:  Fine.  How about a Christmas party?  (she says in her I-dare-you voice). Me:  Bring it.

 

My camera is now empty.
Thanks for letting me share.
