been around the web...

Avon's new Erotica line: I am guessing it kicks off in June, since Kimberly Dean's sites says she is in the 1st book. If This Bed Could Talk I really like the cover. Liz Maverick and Lynn LaFleur round out the anthology. -------------------------------------------------- Brotherhood dates from JR Ward: March 06 Rhage Sept 06 Z March 07 Butch *note he now has a book of his very own* Sept 07 V March 08 Phury Ward also sez: there will be the four more but I'm not sure what order they are going to be in: Rehvenge, Tohr, Payne and Tehrror. But again, I'm not sure of the order... hear me sqeeeeeee -------------------------------------------------- ACK! These bad boy whatever books are enough to kill a budget. I swear! I have pretty much decided they are going to have to stay tradesize, I am not rebuying them in MM even though I would rather have them in MM. Why am I whining about this you ask? Because I have two or three on my list for this year... and now I find another I will need. Viva Las Bad Boys by HelenKay Dimon is set to come out in Aug. I love Vegas! And really can't think of too many vegasy romance books I have read, of course I read mostly historical and paranormal books. But really it sounds good.... I guess I will have a better idea after WHEN GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO BAD BOYS comes out. No matter what she really got lucky having her first book come out with Lori Foster and Erin McCarthy. Hopefully it will sale well. -------------------------------------------------- Joy Nash has an interesting sounding book coming out, for those of you tired of the same ol same ol regency historicals. Check out The Grail King info at her site. It is another Dorchester Love Spell and a sequel to Celtic Fire. A book I had to have! And of course is still tbr ;). -------------------------------------------------- Carolyn Jewel is working on The Rake. I know that doesn't mean much, it isn't sold yet, but just the fact that she is working on it gives me joy. hear me sqeeeee again! Historical Romance can't afford to lose anymore authors to paranormals. Sez I :) -------------------------------------------------- Anyone know what Jo Goodman is working on? I can't find any news :( -------------------------------------------------- Damn... did Some Like it Wicked sell really really well? I haven't read it yet, although I do have it ;). There are two more books in the trilogy SOME LIKE IT SINFUL and SOME LIKE IT BRAZEN. AND Deborah Raleigh has signed with Zebra for three more books. Deborah just signed with Zebra Historicals for another trilogy. The books are tentatively entitled One Night with a Baron, One Night with a Viscount, and One Night with an Earl. Hope they are good! YAY more historicals! -------------------------------------------------- hmmm.... I didn't know Judith E. French use to write westerns or early american novels (whatever you wanna call them). Anyone read any of them? I almost bought The Warrior this weekend but I was strong since it wasn't on the list. -------------------------------------------------- I really need to read (yes there is a trend here)Lord of Desire because Lord of Temptation looks really good. I think the third in the trilogy is called Lord of Seduction. -------------------------------------------------- Is there a rule somewhere that says erotica = higher prices. Why does more sex in a book mean it should be a trade size? The Bad Boy books (which really some are way tame) are trade, looks like AVON's new line will come out in trade size, Aphrodisia (Kensington)line is trade, Secrets books are trade, the ebooks in print are trade and hell even Harlequin's new line SPICE will be trade size. Why? It can't just be due to erotica being a 'hot' market. I don't see inspirational all coming out in trade. So what gives? -------------------------------------------------- Is it a bad sign Josie Litton as a dead website? -------------------------------------------------- Looks like Pam Rosenthal will have a new book out in sept of this year. Cool... maybe by then I will have read the one I have and bought A House East of Regent Street (a novella featured in the anthology Strangers in the Night) yes my tbr scares me.... so I think I shall shut off the computer and go read. I will not be around blogging much this week. Because I need to cross some things off my many to do lists, instead of screwing around on the internet and not finishing one fucking thing. hmmm well that might be true since finishing up some draft posts and reviews are on one of the lists... but I will be strong and will not blog hop. maybe Well I will try. Baby steps...
