We had a very active booksigning at our chapter meeting yesterday, thanks to the wonderful people at KATY BUDGET BOOKS. KBB brings us our members’ new releases every month, along with a mini-bookstore of romance novels and craft-of-writing books. If you’re in the Houston area, visit the store for new and used books, and if you’re not, visit the website for news, reviews, and online orders.
Colleen Thompson’s new release is Phantom of the French Quarter, from Harlequin Intrigue, about a mysterious hero who lives in the shadows of New Orlean’s Vieux Carré District, until he must protect a beautiful woman in danger.
Shana Galen’s latest romantic adventure from Sourcebooks Casablanca is Lord and Lady Spy. Does that great cover remind you of anything? You can check out the book’s trailer at Shana’s web site.
Don’t Mess With Texas is the latest romantic comedy from Christie Craig, and the first in a new series from Grand Central’s Forever line. Christie keeps us all laughing, and so do her books.
One of our members has THREE releases this month–she writes faster than I read. Her latest book as Sharie Kohler, Night Falls on the Wicked, is the fifth book in her dark paranormal Moon Chasers series from Pocket Books.
Sharie’s alter ego, Sophie Jordan, has two new books. Wicked in Your Arms is her latest historical romance from Avon, while Vanish is the sequel to her wonderful Young Adult novel Firelight, from Harper.
Out-of-town member Tera Lynn Childs (we miss you, Tera!) also has a new Young Adult novel, Sweet Venom, the first in a new trilogy from Katherine Tegan books. This series, about the triplet descendants of the Gorgon Medusa, is darker than Tera’s previous books and is getting great reviews.
Some day I hope to be enough of a WordPress expert to get this many pictures where I want them on the page, but today isn’t the day, and I’m moving on (let’s see, lunch, finish the laundry, finish the scene I’m writing, judge a contest entry, maybe even read a little). In the meantime, check out these books and web sites–I promise they’re all worth your time.

Thank you so much for the mention, Kay, and thanks for coming to Shana’s and my signing afterwards at Barnes and Noble. Hope you had a *wonderful* birthday! Here’s wishing you many more!

Thanks for stopping by, Colleen. Enjoyed seeing you at B&N, even if Cheryl wouldn’t let me shop. She seems to think I should make some inroads in my TBR shelfs first.

It’s a pleasure to spread the word on books I enjoy as much as I do yours, Shana. We do have such a wonderful group of writers at West Houston.
