Thank you, readers!

To all the readers who helped make the Ashland Public Library’s recent Romance Swag Auction a great success:

THANK YOU!

My set of books did amazingly well. Thanks to your generosity, it earned one of the highest bids. In a field that included so many of our finest romance authors, that is no small achievement. I’m honored and grateful.

The Ashland Public Library of Ashland, Massachusetts has been a great friend to romance, hosting and co-hosting our recent RomCons, among other events. You can expect another RomCon in the spring, and you can expect to see me there. Please watch this space for more.

And in other news, the third Difficult Dukes book continues to proceed—at my usual slow pace, as opposed to the previous year or two or however many it’s been when it didn’t really proceed at all, but wasted a lot of my time pretending it was doing so. Fingers crossed we make it to the finish line by the year’s end.

Lights, Camera, Auction!

To raise funds for the Ashland Public Library, more than fifty romance writers are offering books and other tempting articles for an online auction. Once again I find myself in a stellar cast of authors. If you click on this link, you’ll see what I mean.

The auction runs from 8pm (ET) Wednesday 11 October to 8pm (ET) Wednesday 18 October.

My contribution is a collection of autographed books, as listed in the text and shown in the graphic below.

The first two Difficult Dukes (the third is still being written but there’s light at the end of the tunnel): A Duke in Shining Armor and Ten Things I Hate About the Duke.

All of the Dressmakers series: Silk Is For Seduction, Scandal Wears Satin, Vixen in Velvet, and Dukes Prefer Blondes.

And, rounding up the usual suspect, Lord of Scoundrels.

You will find all the wonderful details here on the main auction page. The Loretta Chase page is here.


A Different Kind of Auction 12-19 October

Readers have questions. This I know, because I have stood or sat in front of audiences and answered them. Many times. I never know what to expect, which makes the process exciting, intriguing, and fun.

The Friends of the Ashland Public Library have come up with an interesting fundraising scheme aimed at the curious among you. It’s an auction in which you bid for the chance to interrogate an author of your choice. If you win, you get to ask three questions, and you’ll receive the answers in a personal letter from the author.

You’ll have quite a few authors to choose from, as you’ll see when you follow this link to the preview site.

The Author Confidential Auction goes live on eBay from 12 October 8PM ET through 19 October 8PM ET.
