A very Happy New Year to everyone! I hope your holidays were special. I’ve finished the edits on A MIDNIGHT DANCE and they are in the hands of my editor. I’m so excited about this book. And it’s not simply because it’s my first full-length romance. I just can’t wait to introduce everyone my newest historical bad boy hero, Jules de Moutier. He’s a wicked man—in all the right ways! *grins* August can’t get here fast enough!

Second is Divine!!
AWAKENED BY A KISS came in second in the READERS’ CHOICE AWARD POLL–(Not Another Romance Blog) practically tying for first with the awesome NYT bestselling author, Sarah MacLean! It was a close race…and I couldn’t be more delighted being in the top three, flanked by Sarah and the equally wonderful, Lisa Kleypas!
“DiPasqua is probably one of the most promising debut authors to hit the scene so far in 2010.” – Not Another Romance Blog.
Thank you to all who voted for AWAKENED BY A KISS! *muah*
Lastly…
I’ve been asked to be a guest today at Fierce Romance (a wonderful blog run by a group of talented writers!) and tomorrow at Strange Candy Reviews–run by a wonderful Australian book reviewer, Jo-Anne!
Jo-Anne is hosting a summer celebration–Summer Lovin–on her site during the month of January. Being in Canada, bracing for our first real snowstorm of the season about to hit in mere hours (and seriously wishing I was in Australia at the moment), I love it that I can think about summer and sunshine as I hang out at Strange Candy Reviews.
Stop by and chat with me at both places! I’d love to hear from you! 🙂
Hugs,
Lila
