It’s not the final cover but my editors gave this to me over the weekend — isn’t it simply stunning? It’s a July 2011 release:
The back cover blurb says:
An epic struggle for dominance is ravaging the Isle of Skye.And in its midst, a man and a woman are locked together by fate—and fantasy…
Odious though it is, Isabel knows what she must do:go to the one known as the Healer, seduce him, and recruit him to her power-hungry stepfather’s cause.If she refuses, her innocent young sister will pay the terrible price of her disobedience.Yet after just one night with the man she must manipulate, it is clear to Isabel that even if she succeeds, the deceit will not leave her unscathed.For in the Healer’s powerful arms, her heart is lost forever…
Duncan of Skye knows there are those who would use his unusual gift for their own selfish gain.Even so, he yearns to trust the beautiful temptress who warms his bed and fills him with insatiable passion.And when he must choose between her future and his own, he may have to risk everything—even his life…
Hey — have you stopped in lately? I’ve had lots of changes and updates the website! New photos, new info, new books all over the place. I’ve caught up on all my upcoming signings, blogs and events. Now – I’ll get caught up sending out blog and chat prizes and all will be well with the world…
Now for news:
My story “A Storm of Love” in the May Brava anthology UNDONE is a finalist in the NJRW Golden Leaf contest!! It’s up for Best Novella — yay!! The results will be announced at the NJRW Conference on October 22. I am so thrilled to be a finalist in this contest and so proud of my novella. Woohooo!!
A STORM OF PLEASURE hits the shelves in just three weeks and my book trailer has gone LIVE! There’s a link to it on the homepage or on the bookpage, too. I love it — it captures the atmosphere and sexiness of the story. Take a look and let me know what you think? Here’s a quick link for you:
I had a special handbag made from a coverflat for my first Brava release – A STORM OF PASSION. I’ll be putting a new contest up shortly to celebrate the release of the next one and giving the one-of-a-kinf handbag away to one lucky person. Watch for the announcement soon!
I also expect to have some news about some special promos coming up for my new book — one involves a certain bookseller and their ereader and….well, you’ll just have to come back to find out more about them!
Maybe it was appropriate that I was in Ann Arbor MI this week and visited the flagship Borders store? I found my brand new release on the shelves and signed the copies while visiting. (I was on a job trip to the University of Michigan Dental School for a few days….). Here’s a photo —
And then, in a nice turn of events, I got the call on my way home from the organizers of RomCon (a romance readers website, forum, convention and contest) that both of my 2009 books – A STORM OF PASSION from Kensington Brava AND THE CONQUEROR’S LADY from Harlequin Historicals — are finalists in the Best Short Historical Romance category of the Reader’s Crown Contest. The convention and the contest is being co-sponsored by Borders so, as I said, a nice twist to things this week!
The winners will be announced at the convention which is being held July 8-10 in Denver CO…. Maybe I’ll see you there? For more info, check out their website – www.romconinc.com
I am so woefully behind but will be getting a newsletter out to my list ASAP with all the updated info about my current and soon-to-be-released romances but I did want to share my July Harlequin Historical cover with you all! This is book 2 of my Knights of Brittany trilogy and it definitely has the feeling of the one created for book 1 – The Conqueror’s Lady.. what do you think?
This will be out in July — so I hope to be signing it at the RWA Conference book signing in Nashville… Hope you’ll stop in if you’re in the area…
I just got the title for my July Harlequin Historical release — The Mercenary’s Bride! This is the second of the Knights of Brittany trilogy, Brice’s story.
Can’t wait to see the cover art to go with this title….I’ll post it as soon as I have it!
I atttended the NJRW Conference last week and was thrilled when both of my finaling books WON! POSSESSED BY THE HIGHLANDER was named Best Historical Romance and “Blame It On The Mistletoe” from ONE CANDLELIT CHRISTMAS was named Best Novella!
Since this is my ‘home’ RWA chapter and I’ve been involved there since joining in 1995 as everything from President to Board member to Programs Chair, it was a really treat to win.
Thanks to all the contest committee people and especially to the chairperson, Lyn Wagner, who managed to keep it a secret from me for weeks! The award is a beautiful carved glass ‘trophy’ that now sits next to my RITA finalist flag on my shelf…
I’ve been head-down, writing for a deadline and haven’t been celebrating the release of THE CONQUEROR’S LADY!! It’s out now — it hit the shelves about a week ago and thanks to everyone who’s already bought it and sent me comments.
I just got a great review from BOOKLIST – the American Library Association’s journal — and I’m THRILLED! Here’s the best part:
“Brisbin brews up an expertly crafted medieval romance with a dangerous hero and a smart, stubborn heroine.”
If you do pick it up (and it’s available in print, digital and even Kindle editions), please let me know what you think!
Terri (the Tired – finished Brice’s story at 4:30am today)
Can’t miss the chance to wish one of my favorite actors — Adrian Paul – a very happy birthday!! More than one of my characters is modeled after him, most especially Richard Granville in THE QUEEN’S MAN!
I think I’ll watch a couple of my favorite HIGHLANDER episodes to celebrate!! Happy, Happy Birthday, Adrian!
I just got a peek at the first review for my July book — from RT Bookclub Reviews Magazine and here’s what it says about THE CONQUEROR’S LADY:
“Brisbin’s latest medieval romance is compelling and riveting with its rich narrative, pulsing sexual tension and chilling suspense. It’s a tale of a man of passion, action and heat, and the innocent beauty who conquers him body and soul.”
For those of us who enter our romance novels and novellas in the RWA’s 2 contests, this is the big day for us to find out if our novels or novellas get the nod as a finalist. . . .
I GOT THE CALL!!! My November 2008 novella in the Harlequin Historicals anthology ONE CANDLELIT CHRiSTMAS is a finalist in the RWA RITA contest!! Woooohooooo I am excited – Stunned really but thrilled about this!
The final announcement of the RITA is made during the ceremony on Saturday at 8p. It’s a big party celebration. But first I have to find the right dress and that’s always a traumatic experience!
