Embarrassed by romance book covers? Alternate cover; a lot less sexy. Print it from your home computer!

Hey,
Smart Bitch Sarah liked my novella! She thinks it is like a shiny, powerful sword. She didn’t mention its length, but
trust me. We all know what that’s like.

The Heart of Christmas anthology, containing “This Wicked Gift”, debuts at #94 on the
USA Today list! I’m sure that Nicola Cornick and Mary Balogh had a lot more to do with that than I do, but it sure is
exciting!

I’ve added a guest-blogging schedule. You can find me around
the internet throughout the month of October. Take a look

I’ve posted a teaser excerpt for Proof by Seduction.
Read it now.

The blog now has a new look. It’s a closer match to the website, and (I
think) a little bit prettier, too. It won’t change seasonally—that would
require more work than I'm willing to put in right now—and I want the look to
be distinctive. Hopefully, you’ll like it. Check it out here.
June 10, 2009
I’ve posted a descriptive blurb and the book cover for Proof by Seduction.

Come read about
another book not written by
Courtney. It’s time to celebrate Tessa Dare's release!
May 5, 2009
Shockingly, it has stopped being “Buy a Book Written by Courtney” Day. It’s Cinco de Mayo--and thus,
it’s “Buy a Book
Written by Kris Kennedy” Day! Go buy a book written by Kris Kennedy!
April 29, 2009
Huzzah! It is “Buy a Book
Written by Courtney” Day! Normally you would celebrate by buying a book written by
Courtney, but Courtney has no books available for purchase. This makes “Buy a Book
written by Courtney” Day officially the most frustrating holiday in history.
But don’t worry. “Buy a Book Written by Courtney” Day repeats. In fact,
one’s coming up tomorrow. . . .

secondary character in my first novel. I'm having a lot of fun writing his story!
January 5, 2009
I’ve updated my website. Completely. The new website now
changes color with the seasons, and occasionally, in completely inappropriate
fashion, it will change to reflect holidays.
December 1, 2008
