Also, if you’re one of NetGalley’s “professional readers,” my upcoming release Lord of Secrets is now available for review on the NetGalley site. Click here to request an advance copy.

I’ve had two pieces of good news this month regarding the release of my books.

First, my March 25 release, Lord of Secrets, will be available not only as an e-book, but also as an audiobook. Look for it on Audible.com.

Second, A Tryst With Trouble–the book that was supposed to be released by Dorchester, but with the demise of that publisher became a Carina Press title–has a scheduled release date of September 23, 2013.

That means I’ll have two regencies out this year. I hope you enjoy them!
