To celebrate the release of SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS, I did a fun little thing–I created an online quiz so you can see which Donovan sister you most resemble!

Are you…

SERENA?

Serena Donovan is the oldest Donovan sister and the leader of the family since her twin died years ago. Impulsive and rebellious when she was younger, she’s now more serious and somber, and it takes a lot to earn her trust. She will do anything for those she loves and is very loyal.

OLIVIA?

Olivia Donovan is the most quiet and reserved of the Donovan sisters-a definite introvert. She’s small, and slight, pale and blonde–not the most beautiful of the sisters but striking in an understated way. Although she might come off as a wallflower at times, she is self-composed and confident.

PHOEBE?

When Phoebe Donovan makes a decision, she goes after it, and there’s no turning back. Her family tends to think of her as wild and a bit uncontrollable. However, Phoebe’s not much of one for caring what others think about her. She’s her own woman, and will forge her path to happiness through determination and will.

OR JESSICA?

Jessica Donovan is the youngest Donovan sister. Also the most beautiful, she captures peoples’ attention wherever she goes…and she likes it. She’s outspoken, honest, and above all, loyal to a fault. Her family would say she’s impetuous, and they worry about her, but above all, they adore her. Jessica is alluring to just about everyone… to know her is to love her!

Click here to go to the quiz and find out which Donovan sister you are! Once you’ve found out, you can enter my contest–I’m giving away a $100 Victoria’s Gift card and other fun prizes!

Soooo…which Donovan sister are you? I’m Serena–I don’t think that’s a big shocker to anyone who knows me!

I’m going to be all over the Internet…starting this week, actually, to promote SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS and ONCE UPON A WICKED NIGHT. I’m going to be doing TONS of blogs and giveaways. Please come visit me! For a list of where I’ll be, please visit my APPEARANCES page at www.jenniferhaymore.com/bonus-features/appearances. For all of you who stop by here…I couldn’t do it without you. Thanks so much for your support!

Hugs,
Jennifer

Whew! I’ll try not to quake in my boots at the thought of all those reviews!

Have a fantastic week, everyone! I’m sitting down to start writing my fifth book, the second book in the Donovan series. I can’t wait to write about this notorious rake who falls head-over-heels madly in love with the shy and reserved Olivia Donovan.

The winner of my holiday contest was Denise Y! She’s getting a copy of A HINT OF WICKED, a copy of A HIGHLANDER CHRISTMAS, and lots of yummy-smelling holiday bath and body goodies. Congrats to Denise!

I lied about that being my last contest of the year, lol. I have another one up–you can enter to win a copy of Elizabeth Hoyt’s amazing Prince Trilogy. Go on over to my Bonus Features pages and check it out!

I’m heading off to City Hall right now. We’re in escrow both to sell our house and buy a new one, and it just came to our attention that the new house lot might be entirely in a flood zone (which means we can’t build or make improvements–very frustrating). So I’m off to the city to clarify the situation. I tell you, it’s one thing after another when you’re in a real estate transaction. My husband and I were completely crazy to start this process during the holidays.

Come check out my blog over at Popculture Divas, where I’m talking about tattoos, piercings, and elf ears today.

I’m also working on edits for A SEASON OF SEDUCTION–this is the story of the young sister, Becky, from A HINT OF WICKED. I’m loving this story…Becky has learned a lot since her naivety during A HINT OF WICKED, and she has lots of surprises in store for her hero, Jack. I can’t wait until it comes out next October!

So I’ve been mired in this deadline for a couple of months now, and parts of my life have been sacrificed for the sake of this book. Probably the worst of it is that I see my family so infrequently that I feel like we’re ships passing in the night. I haven’t visited with my girlfriends in ages, and I’m horribly behind in emails/correspondence with all my friends and family who don’t live close.

One thing I’m also missing out on is entertainment. My days are simple: Wake up, take kids to school, work all day, feed and cart kids to their various sports, then go back to work until my eyes are crossing, then go to bed. I’ve taken an hour off here and there to relax. I got a pedicure with my daughter last weekend, and I went to the movies last week. But I need *more*! I need to relax, and I need to start interacting with humanity again!

I’m turning in this book early next week, then I have to go out of town for the rest of the week, then I’m presenting a workshop to an RWA group next Sunday. But as of the 19th of October, I’m a free woman! I’m taking a week off just to have fun…I really, really am…

I blogged today over at Pop Culture Divas about my pop culture deprivation. Please come on by and say hi. I’m especially interested in fall television must-sees as I haven’t watched TV in ages and I don’t even know what’s on anymore!

Okay, I’m crawling back into the cave! See you tomorrow for the Fun Fridays results.

Hi, everyone! I’m over at Petit Fours and Hot Tamales today, and I’m giving away a copy of A HINT OF WICKED, so please come on over and say hi!

And now for the Fun Fridays Winner:

First Name: Jo

Congrats! Jo, please go to my contest page and select the two books you’d like. Then email me with your books and your snail mail address.

Thanks to all of you who entered! And–yay!–almost everyone had the right answer! Tristan is the hero who had dreams of traveling to Egypt when he was young.

Here is the question for this week:

What is your favorite historical romance or historical fiction book of all time?

You can also let me know why you loved it so much if you like (but this is not a requirement!). I’m looking for new books for my to-be-read pile!

So head over to my contest page and enter! Have fun!

Hi everyone! I’m over at Romantic Crush Book Junkies today! I’m talking about A Hint of Wicked and its sequels, where I get ideas for my books, and lots more! I’m also giving away a copy of A Hint of Wicked to one responder. Please come stop by and say hi!

I’m blogging over at Grand Central Cafe about the end of summer today! What’s going to be most memorable to you about this summer?

Please come on over and say hi.

At least, they don’t mix for me. I mean, I don’t have time to be a gourmet cook! I hardly have time to go to the grocery store. It takes me a full day to plan and execute a “good” meal. I’m so super jealous of all those writers who can just “whip something up.” If I only had that talent!

Anyway, I’m blogging over at Pens Fatales, where I’m talking about my hopelessness when it comes to food and begging for some easy (and hopefully kid-friendly!) recipes. Please come say hi!
