Book Sale

I’ve gotten off to a wonderful start to the New Year.  We just got back from a vacation in the Dominican Republic.  We were in Punta Cana where they have warm, sunny weather and a beautiful beach.  It would have been a great place to write from but — I didn’t.  So now I have some catching up to do.  Not to bad since the Pacific NW is recovering from major snow and ice storms making staying inside sound good.

Book News –

BookStrand has “This Old House: Love Comes Home” and “Forever Love” on sale.  Their link is http://www.bookstrand.com/lavada-dee

This Old House is a contemporary and the first story I wrote.  I say the first book, but I rewrote it so many times it is more like the 8^th book. I couldn’t quit on it or the characters and it is still near and dear to me.

Forever Love is the 2^nd Romantic Suspense book I wrote.  Both the suspense stories are favorites of mine but neither has done well in the market place.  I’m not sure why as this one in particular has a really great cover.   I don’t think it is the stories so much as I’m not promoting them well.

I’m looking forward to my Valentine’s release of “Nothing To Lose”.   I’ll be posting more on it later.

Happy New Year

New Year’s Eve – another year closes and all is well in my section of the world.  Fighting a cold but it didn’t hit until Christmas night.  With the day over and a quiet week it has given me an excellent excuse to nap and laze around with some good books.

Last night I dug out my 2011 goals and made up  2012 ones.  A time for reflection and the excitement of a new year.    The release of Holiday Magic an anthology with Laurie Ryan was a wonderful way to end the year.   I enjoyed doing this book and telling  Taylor and Gabe’s story.   It was almost surreal the way the two stories flow together and compliment each other.  When we decided to do the book  we didn’t plot them together and only had the time of year as a criteria.   The titles and tag lines came on their own as we progressed through writing the stories.

The first book in the Blackhawk Brother’s series, Nothing To Lose is scheduled for release on Valentine’s Day.  I’m thrilled with the date and excited about the story.  I’ll send out a blurb and excerpt later with the cover.

Wishing you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Regards

Lavada

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR

I’m still populating my blog followers with The Romance Studio Thanksgiving  Party participants.   It’s been busy this year.  I just received the final edits for the first book of the Blackhawk Brothers series that is scheduled for release in February “Nothing To Lose”.  And I got the cover for it yesterday.  I’ll send it with an update later.   But for now I want to Wish everyone A MERRY CHRISTMAS.   And may 2012 be HAPPY, HEALTHY AND PROSPEROUS.
