NO LOVE LOST
Hearts of Braden Book 6
by Troy Storm
SUMMARY: Ches, the hunky white guy, only hopes for a good night's sleep. Horrendous nightmares still
occasionally rip the quiet midwestern small-town nighttime he has returned to.
His best bud, and the hunky black guy who has been his salvation, Josey's
favorite thing is to know he's been accepted by the locals as a productive
member of the conservative community and hope the feds don't track him down as
an illegal. Maddie's favorite thing is hope. She's screwed up along the way a
couple of times, but has found a new job, and a new reason to return to her
roots and has a renewed sense of purpose. It gets her just what you might
expect. A tough road to hoe. But in the long run...

WELCOME TO BOOK COVER FRIDAYS!
We begin the year by bringing you an exciting, hot book cover from
one of New York's Leading Romance Authors. Enjoy!

that he can bed the uncouth Lady Gloriana. But the bet takes on a life of its
own...
Happy Reading! Happy 2016!
MY LADY GLORIANA
by Sylvia Halliday
Diversion Books
The year is 1725. Lady Gloriana Baniard is a beautiful fish out
of water. Brought up on the mean streets of London, she is a brash, blunt,
obscene force of nature. But thanks to a brief marriage to a disgraced
aristocrat, she is forced to live with his noble family and endure the
humiliating process of learning to be a lady. Rebelling, she runs away to
Yorkshire, where she intends to be a blacksmith, a skill at which she excels.
She knows she’ll need a manservant to front for her. When John Thorne appears,
she hires him, stirred as much by his irresistible attraction as by his
strength.
John Haviland, Duke of Thorneleigh, is an arrogant, indolent
gambler and womanizer. Having seen Gloriana just once, he yearns to make her
his own. When he learns she has run away from her family, he makes a wild bet
with his wastrel companions—he will find the lady and bed her. Disguised as a
humble servant, he becomes her assistant, learning the blacksmith trade. The
clash of wills between these two proud people creates more sparks than a
blacksmith’s anvil, as Gloriana learns to be a lady, Thorne learns humility—and
desire deepens to love.

NEW YEAR, BIG PLANS BY KATE MCMURRAY
Welcome to
2016!
I’m thrilled
to be ushering in the New Year as president of the chapter with a (mostly) new
board. I’ve got a lot of plans for the year, with the goal of engaging members more
and helping them with everything we can to further careers in romance
publishing. The membership of this chapter is full of some of the smartest,
savviest, and most talented people I’ve ever met, and whether you’re still
finishing your first novel or have published ten, it’s a great pool to draw
support from.
I think I’m
the rare person who, when I make New Year’s resolutions, I usually follow
through with them. I’m not silly enough to resolve something like going to the
gym more often; I know myself well enough to know that would last, like, a
month, tops. I usually resolve to do career-related things.
For example,
my first published novel was essentially the result of a New Year’s resolution.
I started 2009 resolved that it would be the year I finally got serious and I
promised myself I’d send out a manuscript to an editor or agent by the end of
the year. I sent that manuscript out in August, and it was accepted for
publication a couple of months later.
So here’s my
challenge to you all: forget about what has come before for a moment. Forget
about rejections, failure, the manuscript languishing on your hard drive or in
a drawer. Resolve to do something this year to take your writing career to the
next level. It can be something simple, like writing a set number of words per
month, or finally finishing that unfinished manuscript. It can be something
bigger like showing your work to a colleague for the first time, or finally
sending that manuscript out to editors and agents. If you’re further along in
your career, maybe 2016 is the year you try writing in a new genre or finally
write that crazy idea you’ve been kicking around for awhile, even if it’s not
“commercial.” Maybe this is the year you try self-publishing or create a new
marketing plan to help you get on a bestseller list.
Whatever it
is, think big. Where do you want your writing career to be in a year’s time? In
five? In ten? Think about that and plan accordingly.
I have faith
you can do it. One of the reasons I even considered running for president of
the chapter is because I’ve met so many great people through it.
I also wanted
to let you all know you can contact me at any time with ideas for what programs
you’d like to see or projects you’d like the chapter to take on. This year will
feature some of our favorite chapter traditions and hopefully some new ones as
well.
I’ll raise a
toast to a fantastic 2016! Remember to think big and reach for the stars!♥
