He estado recibiendo una gran cantidad de buenas noticias recientemente, así que pensé que iba a compartir aquí. Peligroso en diamantes el hecho New York Times lista de impresión en #15 su primera semana. Fue también en Publishers Weekly'Lista de s, y estaba #41 en USA Today! Estos son mis fuertes ranking de los más vendidos historia, así que estoy muy emocionado. Incluso me rompí en El Washington Post lista en #8, que es el primero para mí.

Recibí la buena noticia mientras yo estaba fuera de la ciudad. Hice un viaje con mis hermanas, para mostrarles mis sitios favoritos en Italia. Pasamos unos días en Roma y algunos otros en Florencia. Fue un momento especial para nosotros, cuando lo único que podíamos estar juntos por una semana. Dos de mis hermanas nunca había estado en cualquier ciudad, así que disfruté de tomarlos alrededor y ser el guía de turismo. Fue agotador demasiado, pero en el mejor tipo de forma.

Noticias sobre las listas comienza goteando a los editores y agentes de los miércoles de cada semana, y es entonces cuando empezaron las llamadas telefónicas. Yo tenía seis horas por delante, por lo que era tarde en la noche, pero yo no había ido a dormir porque estaba esperanzado. Al día siguiente en la cena todos nos compartió un poco de champán para celebrar.

Agradezco sinceramente a los lectores que me han apoyado con este libro y los libreros que hicieron demasiado! Ha sido un maravilloso dos semanas como consecuencia, y estoy muy agradecido.

Here I am, a week before the release of Peligroso en diamantes, all excited that this book will be in the hands of readers soon! I love this book. My editor loves this book. My publisher loves this book. Will every reader love it? Probably not, because that never happens. Sin embargo, I had a wonderful time writing this story and bringing two of my most distinctive characters together.

Los lectores de The Rarest Blooms stories have met both Daphne Joyes and Tristan, Duke of Castleford throughout the series. Daphne is composed, collected, and a bit hard to read as a personality. The other women defer to her and depend on her, but there have also been hints regarding the mysteries that she has been hiding.

And Castleford—well, what can I say? He arrived in Ravishing en Red the way many of my favorite characters do, unexpectedly. He was a bad boy from the start, bad enough that I received a few emails complaining about his behavior. As the series continued, we came to know more about him. He may be an unrepentant hedonist, but, as one reader told me, he has a surprising heart of gold, and he rises out of his perpetual ennui to meddle in friends’ lives for the best of reasons. That he is arrogant in assuming everyone won’t mind when he does, and that his motivations also include relief at having something not bore him—well, that is what makes Castleford who he is.

Of course I had to put these two together! Castleford delights in finding ways to shatter Daphne’s ice queen composure, and Daphne inevitably will bring Castleford to his knees. Along the way there will be discoveries about both of them, humor and action. I promise readers that Castleford remains Castleford through it all. Does he reform? Bien, partly, but a man partly reformed is a man still half bad.

I am busy starting my next series, but as April 26 approaches, my mind is much on The Rarest Blooms and all these characters with whom I have been living for several years. I firmly believe that as a writer I need to keep moving on, but in this case I am taking a few days to fondly look back too. I hope that you will give the series, y Dangerous in Diamond a try.

The big news is that Pecaminoso en satén stayed on the NYTimes list for 4 semana. This is a first for me, so it was very exciting. I really appreciate all the notes and emails that readers and booksellers have sent to me about the book, and the series.

I have now completed Peligroso en diamantes, the fourth book in The Rarest Blooms serie, and will get an excerpt up as soon as it gets the final seal of approval from my publisher. The Duke of Castleford was a lot of fun to write about, and I think that the story reflects the same man that readers have met in the prior stories. Even when we go into his head in this one, he still has that very individual way of looking at the world, and the story ended up with a lot of humor as a result. I have had a few readers express some regrets that Castleford will have to reform in order for his book to end in Happily Ever After for the heroine, which says something about how much some readers have enjoyed his incorrigible behavior. I promise you that while he slowly realizes Daphne is worth a few sacrifices, he intends to be at least half bad forever.

So now I am planning the next book (s). This is always exciting for me too. It is world building time because I will be starting a new series. I promise that I did not leave characters hanging from the last one. By the time Peligroso en diamantes ends we know what happens with Katherine and the marquess (not together, aunque). As much as I loved The Rarest Blooms serie, and all these characters, it is time to meet some new ones. They are forming even as I write this, and I will post another note once everything has fallen into place. In the meantime I get to play with ideas, and also clean my office which, during this series, with its fairly quick succession of deadlines, has become a disaster. I may even find some time to get back on Twitter!
