But wait, there's more!

Because of some weird timing (weird for me, anyway), I have two announcements to make:

1. I've gotten my fabulous cover for Hungarian Masquerade.

Here's the blurb:

Samantha Michaels is getting over her ex by taking an exciting vampire tour of eastern Europe. When she shows up at a costume ball in an incredibly sexy witch outfit, she knows she'll keep the Hungarian hunks drooling over her lush body—and guessing about her identity. She's sworn off relationships, but she’s willing to walk the wild side for her last night in Hungary. And the man she's set her sights on is a dangerously handsome highwayman.

Professor and tourist Nick Tremaine fell for Sam the first time he saw the sexy siren on the Hungarian tour, but his attempts to be friendly were headed off. The ball is the perfect opportunity to prove to her that even a good guy can be a bad boy when he wants to be. He’ll give the sultry witch a night she'll never forget at the Hungarian Masquerade.

I'll be posting an excerpt on my website after I get back from the Donald Maass workshop in Tampa Sunday.

2. Okay, now that you're done ooh-ing and ahh-ing over the cover, and have caught your breath over the blurb, here's my second announcement:

Hungarian Masquerade will be available at the Wilder Roses site November 28--just in time for you to take a break from standing in line at the local discount retailer where you've been since 4 a.m. and oh boy do you need a break from screaming children and screaming parents who will obviously just DIE if they don't get the hello-whatsit in day-glo orange because day-glo orange IS the new black and what do you mean it's in your cart they NEED it so just as soon as you get home you're going to grab a cup of hot cocoa (go ahead, spike it, we won't tell) or glass of wine (it's 5 o'clock somewhere) and go to the Wilder site and buy your copy of Hungarian Masquerade because oh GOD look at the guy on the cover and oh, yeah, this is just what you needed....
