I love Christmas and I love romance, so I consider myself so lucky to be able to write about both of them. When my editor asked me to have my characters offer seduction tips to readers, though, I was lost… Seduction tips? I’ve known my husband since I was sixteen! I haven’t consciously thought about seduction…ever, maybe.

So it meant research. And it meant thinking about the characters from A HINT OF WICKED, A TOUCH OF SCANDAL, and A SEASON OF SEDUCTION and thinking about how they would think of seduction. Ultimately, I was able to find enough seduction tips for the 12 days prior to the release of A SEASON OF SEDUCTION, as well as a few more, besides! Some of it is common sense (and I realize I’ve been doing it all along with my husband, blush!) and some of it was brand new for me, but here are the 12 days of seduction:

Do you have any seduction tips of your own to share? Post one here, and I’ll be giving away a copy of A SEASON OF SEDUCTION, plus an extra seductive bonus from Slumber Parties: Body Dew Strawberry Champagne After Bath Oil to one poster on October 10!

Enjoy…here’s wishing for lots of love and wonderful holidays for all of us!

I know, I’ve been gone for a while. I wanted to let everyone know I’ve been through the hard part (chemo) and am almost done with radiation. Probably at some point in the next month I’ll have a scan, and after such aggressive treatment, I’m sure it’s going to show that I’m cancer-free!

I’ve also just completed revisions on my 4th book, Confessions of an Improper Bride, and about ten minutes ago I sent in my synopsis for book #5. Confessions of an Improper Bride will release in 2011 and will be the start of the Donovan Series, a series about five impoverished sisters who were raised in the West Indies and come “home” to England as young women. I’m so excited about this series!

Some news I’m super thrilled about – A Season of Seduction releases in just a couple of weeks on October 1! I’m so excited and nervous about this book release – I think this is my most romantic book yet. I just picked up my copy of RT book reviews today and here’s what they said about it:

4.5 Stars:
“Haymore uses the Christmas season as an enhancing backdrop for a mystery/romance that is both original and fulfilling. Her fresh voice and ability to build sensual tension into lively love stories peopled by delicious characters makes this tale shine.”

Isn’t that a lovely review?
