During the week I have been concentrating on a few authors with blogs, who have kindly given me a lot of encouragement. Emily Bryan is one of those authors. She held an interview with guest author, Miranda Neville. It was a great relaxed, interesting post and both ladies kept the flow going in the comment box. The comments then ventured into dream world of who would you cast as your lead man, should your book become a movie. Colin Firth was mentioned in my comment because I just love to have that 'lake' moment whenever I can.
Well, the great news is that, the lovely Miranda was giving away her book to one lucky person...yes, I won it, I was that person! What a day, hey?
So what about the book that is winging its way to Cyprus?
It is THE WILD MARQUIS (by Miranda Neville), and was released this month.
I pinched this snippet from Miranda's website, I am sure she won't mind me sharing:
The first book in the Burgundy Club series featuring Regency rare book collectors
The Marquis of Chase is not a reputable man.
He is notorious for his wretched morals and never received in respectable houses. The ladies of the ton would never allow him in their drawing rooms . . . though some of them have welcomed him into their bedchambers. Rejected from his father’s house at the age of sixteen, he now lives a life of wanton pleasure. So what could the Marquis of Chase possibly want with Juliana Merton, a lovely, perfectly upstanding shopkeeper with a mysterious past?
A moment’s indiscretion?
A night’s passion?
Or a lifetime of love?
Even the wildest rakes have their weaknesses . .
A moment’s indiscretion?

Again my thanks go to Emily & Miranda
Now in celebration...

Hey Glynis! Isn't Miranda's cover delicious? I'm sure the story is just as yummy.
You are welcome, Glynis. The book is packed up and ready to go. I hope you enjoy it.
BTW, glad both you and Emily like the cover. I just saw the cover for my next book, The Dangerous Viscount, and gave a giant squeal of joy. It's gorgeous. I wish I could share but it's under wraps for another couple of months. We writers are very grateful when the cover gods smile on us.
Congratulations! I love winning things, and that book looks great!
Emily it is wonderful, so sensual with grace! I want to touch his back and...moving on...
I love it Miranda. It must be awful to be faced with a dreadful cover. So disappointing if changes can't be made. If your next one is a wow after this one, I cannot wait to see it! I hope the postie uses his van to collect my post this time. The donkey is so slow, and I can't wait to read my gift.*grin*
Thanks Susan. Re book: doesn't it just? I am so lucky, my library is growing. I won 3 in 2009, so am thrilled 2010 has started out this way.
Hooray for you! I just love winning books! It's such a victory, and so exciting when that new book shows up in your mailbox!
Ooh, congrats!!
That books sounds great!!
Well I was not able to view the video (darn it) but congrats on your win. I am sure the book will be enticing.
What a shame Loree, missing out on Mr Darcy is a sad state of affairs.
Thanks for comment.
Well done, Glynis! Oooh, and the mention of the Lake scene and Colin Firth is enough to send me into dream space. ;-) Love and bright wishes. xx
That wild marquis must work out somwhere beside the bedroom. And his damsel certainly never had a bad hair day! Even in the throes of passion, her locks are gorgeous.
Congratulations on your win, Ms. Glynis! I am sure you'll be riveted.
