Lots o’ fun news–PMP in audio, a blog chat, new foreign translations, and the Casa James garden

Leave a comment

PMP audiobookHey everyone! I’m back from a lovely, three-day Memorial Day weekend with the family and thought I’d share some various bits of fun news:

First, I’m thrilled that the PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT audiobook is now available! (And currently 20% off.) I can’t wait to hear narrator Karen White reading that broken heel/courtroom scene. : ) You can listen to an excerpt from the book at the Tantor Audio website.

Second, during the RT Convention, I taped a blog chat with Sara from the Harlequin Junkie blog and Sasha from Caribbean Accent Book Reviews. That 30 minute chat is now available at Blog Talk Radio, and anyone can listen–no sign in or registration required. We had a great time talking about my books, the development of the FBI/U.S. Attorney series, my favorite hero, how I came to be a romance writer, my book covers . . . and I even talk a little about my next book. (Just a smidge.)

Also, I’ve updated my International Editions page to reflect the newest upcoming foreign translations of my books. Love Irresistibly will be translated into French and Thai (and I suspect more languages to come)–in fact, the entire FBI/U.S. Attorney series is being translated into Thai. Also, Just the Sexiest Man Alive (Deliziosa Sfida) will be released in hardcover in Italian. (The book is already available in paperback and e-book.) Finally, I’m thrilled to have my first book translated into Turkish–Something About You.

And, on a personal note, it’s summer gardening day here at Casa James. We’ll call this one the “before” shot. I’ll post (hopefully) when I have an “after.” : )

RT BookLovers Convention–the photos

9 Comments

So y’all know how bad I am at remembering to take photos at these things. Luckily, other folks are much better at that, so I’ve  stolen–er, grabbed–a few pics from them.

I’m having a blast hanging out with readers and authors at the RT BookLovers Convention. But can I just say, 35 degrees and snow in Kansas City? Someone needs to tell Mother Nature that it’s May.

At the Giant Book Fair. I can't decide if I look pensive or sneaky here. (Great to see so many of you there!)

LOVE IRRESISTIBLY discussion blog

38 Comments

comps_LoveIrr.inddLast year, a reader asked whether there was any place where people who’d read my newest release could discuss the book, including spoilers. I thought that was a great idea, and the discussion blog was a hit. So, I thought I’d do that again this year, for Love Irresistibly. I’ve seen a lot of conversations about the book on Twitter and Facebook and thought people might enjoy the opportunity to chat with other readers. I’m also happy to answer questions about the book (I’ll be in New York for the next two days for a reader event, but I’ll try to respond as quickly as possible), but feel free to discuss amongst yourselves.

Be forewarned: any comments below may include spoilers.

I also wanted to thank all of you for the emails, tweets, Facebook posts, etc. I’m thrilled to hear you guys are enjoying Love Irresistibly!

P.S. To join the conversation, those of you reading this on Goodreads should click here.

Love Irresistibly video

6 Comments

As many of you know, a few weeks ago Berkley filmed a video of me talking about my upcoming release, Love Irresistibly. My publicist, Erin, flew in from New York (psst–watch for a cameo of her at the bar), and we filmed at Spiaggia, a five-star restaurant on Michigan Avenue here in Chicago. There were sparkly shoes involved, and wine drinking, and we had a great time. So without further ado, here’s the video for you all to enjoy.

P.S. Since I know you’re going to ask, the shoes are Jimmy Choo and were a Christmas present from Mr. James. He did well. : )
