The story is a Regency-set historical romance and is scheduled for release in September 2012. As I receive more details, I’ll be sure to post them here. For now, I’d like to share the following teaser:

During a masked ball, Sophie Crandle’s mask gives her the courage she needs to follow the man she expects to propose to her into the gardens, where she brazenly asks him for the one thing that will tell her if she can accept him—a kiss. And what a kiss it is! Her elation turns to horror, however, when she realizes she is kissing the wrong man. The man who has awakened her desire is not the man who is courting her, but his brother, the Earl of Dearbourne. A notorious rake, he is more likely to ruin Sophie than provide her with the social acceptance she needs.

Richard Hearst, the Earl of Dearbourne, receives the shock of his life when he discovers the beautiful woman falling apart in his arms thinks she is kissing someone else. He is determined to claim her for himself … even if the man she is meant for is his brother.

KILLER.

And then after the waiting is over … you have to wait some more! I’m sitting on some Very Good News that I can’t announce yet, much as I desperately want to. Hopefully that will change soon.

To see you all into the weekend, I thought I’d share a song that never fails to make me happy – “Love’s Great Adventure” by Ultravox. Enjoy!

(That song is particularly appropriate today, which is my 15th wedding anniversary. I love you, Neil! Can’t wait for the next 15 years. <3)

If you enjoyed the movie, you might get a kick out of this Honda CR-V commercial – “Matthew’s Day Off”.

Not too long ago she gave away a few stock images on her facebook page (here) and I used one of those images to create a new banner for my site. Look up – isn’t it pretty? I’m still not entirely happy with the shading around the text, so I may tweak that, but I *love* how the picture works with the background. And I love the fact that my banner now proclaims that I’m a romance writer.

What else is new? When I’m not editing (I have a few projects I’ve finished writing and am now sitting down and tackling the edits I’ve been avoiding) I’ve been hanging around the web. I’ve posted links to the social media websites I love on the site’s home page and contact page. If you’re on any of those sites, please stop by and visit me!

It’s a classic here in Canada. Molson’s I.Am.Canadian commercial.

(There’s another version on Youtube with many more views, but I decided to link to this one because the quality was slightly better.)

Did you rush out and buy a new Apple 4S iPhone and then have difficulty trying to activate it? How did your attempt to update your iOS devices to iOS 5 go for you? I spent hours last Wednesday trying to upgrade my two daughters’ iTouches. By Friday I still couldn’t activate iMessage for them and have given up on trying for now.

For all of you who are experiencing mobile meltdowns, sit back and enjoy the following routine from The One Ronny – My Blackberry is Not Working!

Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr … and most recently, Google Plus. The following video is a take-off on an advertisement for Google Plus, but I think the sentiments expressed hold true for most social media. It also made me laugh. Enjoy!
