The Royal Wedding is only days away and it’s in the news all over.  And so is the Royal Wedding series from Harlequin. I’m thrilled that my contribution – What The Duchess Wants – is also in the news!

Here are the links to the story in the USA TODAY and the TORONTO STAR newspapers!

The stories are all available now in digital-formats in both the US and UK….so if you want to learn more about Prince William’s ancestors before his wedding, try one!

A few weeks ago, in an act of senseless violence, the husband of a romance enthusiast was shot and killed in North Carolina. Fatin Soufan has been a tireless supporter of the romance genre, as a reader, a reviewer, a blogger and a friend. In order to help out her and her family during this terrible time and after, romance authors, industry professionals and friends have organized or are participating in an auction to raise money for Fatin.

Autographed books, critiques, goodies, events and all sorts of things are being auctioned on eBay — here’s the link:

Please consider bidding or buying an item if you can — you’ll get a fabulous prize and it will help Fatin and her family. Thanks!

Well, not THAT royal wedding but something to celebrate it anyway! To celebrate the upcoming nuptials of Wills and Kate on April 29, Harlequin Mills and Boon are releasing 7 short stories about other royal weddings – historical ones! Along with authors Michelle Willingham, Bronwyn Scott, Elizabeth Rolls, Lucy Ashford, Ann Lethbridge and Mary Nichols, we’re featuring previous royals such as Prince Charlotte and Prince Leopold, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, King Richard and Princess Berengaria and more!

This is my story about:

What the Duchess Wants by Terri Brisbin

Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine and Henry of Anjou (future Henry II), 1152

As one of Europe’s most powerful women, Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine has a chance most can only dream of – to choose her own husband! One glance at the young, forceful Henry of Anjou and her choice is made.

Able to match her wit for wit, Henry’s a true warrior and not afraid to disobey a royal command… But his love of life – and the bedroom – promise Eleanor a brand-new world of excitement!

I’ve included Eleanor and Henry in some of my previous Harlequin Historical romances so it was great to get the chance to go back to their real story and share that with readers!

There are seven stories altogether that will be available in digital-only formats at both the Harlequin US site and the Mills&Boon UK website on April 1st… I hope you’ll give them a try!

It’s been a fun month so far and I’ve been thrilled to find A STORM OF PLEASURE on bookshelves all over the place. I just wanted to bring you all up-t0-date on some events and happenings –

I was thrilled to discover that I was one of the first authors to be spotlighted in a new feature offer by all Barnes and Noble stores! Yay! Called “More in Store”, it enables customers to open their Nook ebook readers in any store and download original content/articles about a different author and their new release each week. My feature began this week and will be available for any B&N Nook owner for….ever – LOL. Maybe not THAT long, but for a while.  If you have one and see the article I wrote, please let me know! Here’s a link with lots of info about it — and a list of the other authors (I am sooooo excited to be included in this) –

Okay — I just got such a nice present in the mail — a package of coverflats for my October Brava – A Storm of Pleasure and all I can say is WOW! Take a look:

and here’s the backcover blurb — it’s the perfect description of the story –

On the beautiful, remote Scottish coast, two lovers are drawn together by a dark legacy and a wild dangerous desire. . . .

Rumors of a truthsayer have brought Katla Sveinsdottir to Orkney, searching for a way to clear her brother’s name. What she finds is far from what she expected. Gavin is a recluse, driven close to madness by the voices that crowd his mind. Katla strikes a bold bargain—offering to share Gavin’s bed in exchange for his help. But as she watches this proud, magnificent man struggle to keep his humanity, she knows that more than her brother’s fate is at stake.

Gavin’s mysterious abilities have grown more powerful over time, as have their terrible consequences. Katla is the only person whose thoughts are hidden from him, though he longs to know if she shares his passion. At last he has found the woman who can calm the demons within him—yet the truth he has sworn to reveal may tear her from him forever. . .

OH MY!! Can’t wait for this to hit the shelves –

Terri
