Pure Passion comes to Piatkus...



We have just had some fabulous news about two of our bestselling authors, Christina Jones and MaryJanice Davidson!




We are thrilled to announce that Christina’s novel, LOVE POTIONS – a magical mix of H. E. Bates and Joanna Trollope with a spoonful of J. K. Rowling – and MaryJanice's UNDEAD AND UNWED – part of her series of romantic comedies which is best described as Bridget Jones meets Buffy – have been shortlisted for the Pure Passion Award, which is sponsored by North West Libraries, the RNA and Bertrams Books.


For this award, readers have to choose and vote for their favourite contemporary romantic novel from the last 10 years.


And, on voting, if you leave your name and contact details, you will be entered into a prize draw and may receive an invitation to a grand finale event in February 2008, at which you will have a chance to meet the winning writer (subject to their availability)!

PS Look out for Linda Gillard on the list, too - we're delighted to be publishing her new novel, STAR GAZING, next year!

Britain sizzles...


The last few weeks have seen a rise in England’s temperature and a flocking of the nation (me included!) outdoors to soak up the rays. It’s amazing how a little sunshine can lift spirits, especially as it means we’re no longer confined to spend our weeknights and weekends indoors by the fire with warm sunshine being but a mere memory!


Parks are once again filling with people playing sport, children playing games, couples strolling hand in hand – people moving their fun into the sun. For me, this time of year means grabbing a blanket and a few great escapist reads and heading to the park to do some quality reading … and quality sunbathing!

One book that will definitely be coming along with me this month is Lover Revealed by J.R. Ward – a book with content that will easily rival the soaring heat!

Fourth in the dark and deliciously erotic – and utterly addictive – Black Dagger Brotherhood series which follows six vampire warriors who are defenders of their race against New York State's deadly slayers, Lover Revealed promises to be as gripping as its predecessors, and I can’t wait to sink my teeth in. J.R. Ward really understands the paranormal genre and what readers are looking for: tautly written, gripping action, strong characters and mesmerising sensually erotic romance…what more can a girl ask for? I really can’t get enough of this series at the moment!

We’re offering readers the chance to get in on the action via our competition on the blog – the first 5 people to enter will find a copy of Lover Revealed whizzing its way to them very soon!
