Dear Friends,

I know my updates are spotty, but not to fear, there is much happening on the back end! ;-)

I have a fun bit of news to share for now. You are all invited to join me and five other lovely and gracious authors at The Ballroom Blog, a wonderful and continual soiree hosted by the fabulous Lady B.

I do hope you'll all join me there. I can promise that scandals, excitement and all sorts of wicked other goings-on will occur!

Much love,
Sabrina

Today I'm blogging over at Desert Island Keepers. Come see why we're all stalkers on the road to love! ;-) You can also see what movie I recommend all historical romance readers watch.

In other news, at the end of this month I will be attending the national conference of the Romance Writer's of America. If you live anywhere near Orlando, Florida and you want a signed copy of On These Silken Sheets, come to the literacy signing on Wednesday, July 28th. There will be hundreds of romance authors signing and proceeds go to charity. For more information, click here.

Additionally, earlier that day, I will be presenting a workshop at the Beaumonde Conference. The Beaumonde is a specialty chapter of RWA, focusing on the Regency period. For more information on this conference, please visit here.

Some fun news: "Roses are Rouge", the third novella in On These Silken Sheets is a Best First Book finalist in the National Readers' Choice Awards!

Thank you, OK-RWA!


Sarah Maclean's hilarious and sexy new book, 9 Rules to Break when Romancing a Rake, is out, in stores, in digital stores, everywhere! I've read it and I love it. Ok, that's not enough to say--it made me laugh out loud almost every other page!

To help her celebrate, I've posted *my* 9 rules for conducting an affair during the Season. Very good advice for all of us who live half in the Regency ;-). One commenter wins a copy of On These Silken Sheets, so please come by and join us at macleanspace.com!

I'm just going to refer everyone to Sela Carsen's great round up of where both she and I have been the last few days.

Also check out Jessica's sum up of content of many of the panels.
