So what if you haven’t bought your Halloween costume yet (I know you’ve snuck some candy)—aren’t you in the mood for Christmas? Run right out and buy The Heart of Christmas, featuring Courtney Milan’s This Wicked Gift. Deck those halls and bookshelves!

Another tempting Tessa Dare treat! A Lady of Persuasion releases today!

Yippee! Any Wicked Thing is predominantly finished. What does that mean, you say? It means that when I first started to write the book in May, I began each chapter with brief diary entries written by Sebastian Goddard, the Duke of Roxbury and Frederica Wells. Somewhere in the middle of the book, those diary entries disappeared. My dilemma now: do I add the missing ones, or delete the written ones? Time (and my crit partners) will tell. I’m going to step away for a short while and then revisit that remote Yorkshire castle to make sure all the loose ends are securely tied up. Then it will be back to my storm-tossed Scottish island and Master of Sin!

Thanks so much, Anna, for taking the time to read MBM. I can’t wait for November’s Captive of Sin, which I am quite sure will sizzle too!

Over 85,000 words now on Any Wicked Thing. I have two more chapters to write from scratch and three scenes to finish. The ending is tied up with a big, wet sloppy bow already—I got a little weepy writing it, because I love love love Sebastian and Freddie (mostly Sebastian, LOL).

And here’s another one of my LOLRegencies.
