The audiobook version of CONFESSIONS OF AN IMPROPER BRIDE is releasing on January 30th. This is so exciting for me–I am an avid audiobook listener, and I can’t wait to hear how the reader interpreted my story. And they came up with a beautiful new cover just for the audiobook version. I think she’s a perfect likeness of Serena. Yay!

It’s also available on Amazon and other book retail outlets!

When my editor offered me a chance to write a short story as a bridge between CONFESSIONS OF AN IMPROPER BRIDE and SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS, I jumped at the chance! The idea came fairly quickly: I’d return Serena and Jonathan to the Dowager Duchess of Clayworth’s ball–the place where they lost all their dreams years ago. Serena and Jonathan still have a bit of healing to do, and where better than the place where it all happened?

Then, there’s Olivia, Serena’s younger sister, who’s just arrived in London and has never seen anything quite like the dowager’s ball. Naive Olivia gets herself into quite a terrible situation…but it’s a mistake that will ultimately lead to her meeting Max, the hero of SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS.

The short story ONCE UPON A WICKED NIGHT is a little gift for my readers releasing on February 1 (the same day as the official release of SECRETS OF AN ACCIDENTAL DUCHESS). It’s $0.99 and available wherever ebooks are sold. I hope you’ll pick up a copy!

Confessions of an Improper Bride is releasing in a little under two months. It’s the start of a brand-new series for me, which is significant, I realized, because I’ve just started a new phase of my life. It’s been a year since I was diagnosed with breast cancer, and being given that diagnosis is definitely a life-changing experience. They say things will never be the same for a person after being told she has cancer, but that people eventually find a “new normal.” The year has been traumatic and busy (between treatments, 3 active children, and book deadlines)…and definitely “abnormal.” But now that it’s all over (except for the constant check-ups), I feel like things are finally settling down. Things aren’t exactly the same as they were before, but they’re pretty good, in a new way. 2011 has definitely started in a much more positive way than 2010 did, and I’m starting to understand what everyone means by a “new normal.”

So between my eldest son starting Jr. High next year (and he’s almost as tall as me–how did that happen!?), my new series, and my “new normal,” I feel like I’m embarking on a new beginning and a new journey. One that I definitely hope my friends, family, and readers will join me on.

Check out my new contest! For the month of June, I’m giving away a copy of my first trilogy: A Hint of Wicked, A Touch of Scandal, and A Season of Seduction!

Hi everyone! For the next few weeks, I’m going to be busy blogging, talking, and giving stuff away over at the Dangerous Women Writers! Come and join us for the fun! Among the bloggers will be me, my fantastic agent, Barbara Poelle, my editor at Forever Romance, Selina McLemore, and tons of other fantastic writers and industry experts! We’re giving away tons of great stuff, too, including an e-reader and two trips to the RomCon conference in Denver this summer!

For Confessions of an Improper Bride! Isn’t it pretty?

I’ll send you one for free, along with a few other items of author swag–just sign up on my Freebies Page!

Oh man, is it already February? Hard to believe!

Things have been super busy in the Haymore household, especially on the writing front. I’m so excited about my new series – a trilogy about the five Donovan sisters: Serena, Meg, Olivia, Phoebe and Jessica. It starts with Confessions of an Improper Bride, Serena’s story. Check out the cover:

What do you think?

I’m working on page proofs for Confessions right now, and I am also working on edits for book two, Secrets of an Accidental Duchess…and I’ve just gotten approval on my outline and I’m beginning to write book #3 (still untitled). So things have been busy busy busy around here!

I wanted to thank everyone for their continued support through 2010, for all the lovely emails and kind words. Things are getting better all the time on the health front. I still can’t say I’m “cured,” I don’t think, but I am taking steps toward that word every day!

Come see Jennifer at the following blogs on the following dates, with lots of opportunities to win A SEASON OF SEDUCTION!

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.
