Whew, another big release for me. Enemy of the King is coming to the Wild Rose Press Friday May 8th. http://thewildrosepress.com/ Fast-paced historical romance novel Enemy of the King is my version of The Patriot with flavors of Daphne Dumaurier's Rebecca. Already out at Amazon, it will be available at all major online booksellers in both digital download and print soon after its initial release. Local booksellers can order it in. Please help me spread the word.
We all love free books. So check out my contest at www.lindaciletti.net I’m giving away 2 romantic adventure books to one winner--a historical and a time travel either in ebook pdf format or trade paperback. (if outside the continental US, winner gets pdf copies) The historical is a 2009 Eppie Winner. Deadline March 31.
I'm the featured author on the Saturday Spotlight on 3/21. Stop by and leave a comment for a chance to win an ebook of Heart of Stone. http://www.pamswildroseblog.blogspot.com
I don't remember if I thanked you for friending me, so thank you!
Also...if you (or the other RWA members, there) like free online reads, I just posted the next installment in Allison & Gabe's story today. (Finally!) Here's the link: http://bit.ly/LnRKL
I had a booksigning on Monday at Curves in Anaheim Hills. It was a great success! I sold all of the books that I had taken with me, and took orders for 14 more!
