This March 17, St. Patty’s day!, a group of wonderful authors are gathering in Las Vegas, and I get to join them for a book signing that is looking to be nothing less than spectacular. Check out these details!

Who is signing?

Ann Aguirre (Jax series, Corine Solomon, YA Razorland)
Zoe Archer (Blades of the Rose, Hellraisers)
Vivian Arend (me! Granite Lake Wolves, Six Pack Ranch)
Lauren Dane (Brown Siblings, Federation, Bound by Magick)
Tessa Dare (Spindle Cove, Stud Club)
Megan Hart (Order of Solace, Deeper, Broken)
Courtney Milan (Turner series)

And honestly? Picking only few series to each author’s name was difficult, because these are some of the most incredible authors in the romance field.

Where:

Chapel of the Flowers
1717 Las Vegas Blvd. So.
Las Vegas, NV 89104 USA
Party starts at 9 pm.

The manager at the local Barnes and Noble has been incredible, and she, along with festival coordinators, have organized an evening to look forward to. Here’s more details from her:

“We will start in the La Capella Chapel. It is the largest and is very Tuscan in feeling. Someone from the festival will introduce the event and then we thought that we could have each of you read a little from one of your books. After the readings, the winning couple** will have their vow renewal. Then, everyone will head outside to the Glass Garden for book signings and a reception.”

Ann Aguirre was our woman on the go, and she worked to get this happening. Here’s what she has to add:

There will be cake and sparkling cider and treats from the Las Vegas book clubs. Along with us, the authors, and our books, of course. There will be brides and newlyweds and wedding parties all over the place!

[** get this part!!] The city of Las Vegas is sponsoring a contest, where you submit an entry about the most romantic thing you’ve done while married, and you could win a vow renewal at our event!

So… seven awesome authors. Books. Romance. Cake. Readings. Free vow renewal. Has any event ever been so epic? Thank you, Crystal, BN, City of Las Vegas, Chapel of the Flowers, and all the book lovers who made this possible!

Wow. WOW. So anyone who is able to join me and my friends in Vegas, I would love to see you for what sounds to be an incredible evening!!

One thing I never expected? That I’d be gasping for air after having gotten used to being at sea level!

We’ve got until the end of the month to travel our way back north, and then return to Canada hopefully in time for some of the snow and cold to have completed its stay.

I promise once I’m home to start showing a few more pictures, but it’s not always easy to work in internet time along with every thing else. The days are busy as I explore with the family and try to keep up with my writing. All worth it, though!

Rocky Mountain Angel
Six Pack Ranch, Book 4

Planting the seeds of white-hot passion

~~**~~

It’s official. Book 4 will be coming either late 2012 or early 2013–I’m hoping for a December release, but will have to confirm that.

And I’m not going to share a lot more than that. Well, I will tell you: this is Gabe’s story. And I’m totally in love with him. Mmmmmmm.

Yes, it’s time to return to the Granite Lake world. You ready for some mischief? If you’ve enjoyed the previous wolfie books, I hope you’ll help me get the word out that there’s a new adventure on the way!

Oops–and release day is JUNE 12

Wolf Line

Granite Lake Wolves, Book 5

Into the best-laid plans a little chaos must fall…

Jared’s not sure how his quiet morning coffee near the harbour ended with him on a cruise ship impersonating one of his pack mates. Well, it might have something to do with a woman, but who can blame him? The female of the species was made to love, and he’s more than willing to share his considerable skills in that area. Especially since he figures the chances of meeting his own one-and-only are slim.

Keri Smith is positive the last-minute recruit sneaking aboard the Arctic Wolf Cruise Lines tour is her mate. Ix-nay on confirming that, though, at least for the next ten days. She’s promised her best friend to be overall troubleshooter for the shifter-only cruise. Getting tangled up in mating lust would reduce her skills to nil. Avoidance of the sexy wolf for the duration of the cruise, followed by jumping his bones, seems the logical solution.

But when libidos are on the line, “logic” and “wolves” don’t go together. Throw in suspicions of wrongdoing, and these two virtual strangers will need a lot more than luck to find their way through to forever.

Warning: Really? You need to be warned about the hot nookie and sarcasm? Yeah, it’s in here. Also colourful cat shifters, lupine royalty, and wild adventures in cabins like you’ve never seen before.

Matthew
 Circle Eight, Book 1

By Emma Lang

A man learns to hold what is his…

It is a vast spread in the eastern wilds of the newly independent Republic of Texas, the ranch their parents fought for … and died for. To the eight Graham siblings, no matter how much hard work or hard love it takes, life is unthinkable without family…

In the wake of his parents’ murder, Matthew Graham must take the reins at the Circle Eight. He also needs to find a wife in just thirty days, or risk losing it all. Plain but practical, Hannah Foley seems the perfect bride for him . . . until after the wedding night.

Their marriage may make all the sense in the world, but neither one anticipates the jealousies that will result, the treacherous danger they’re walking into, or the wildfire of attraction that will sweep over them, changing their lives forever.

Rocky Mountain Desire
Six Pack Ranch, Book 3

By Vivian Arend

Nothing comes easy. You’ve gotta work for it.

Matt Coleman always figured at this point in his life, he’d be settled down with a family. Since his ex split for the big city, though, no way will he give anyone else the chance to drop-kick his heart. Physical pleasure? Hell, yeah, he’ll take—and give—with gusto, but nothing more.

Hope Meridan is working long hours to hold on to her new quilt shop, going it alone since her sister/business partner ran off. Sex? Right, like she’s got the time. Not that she doesn’t have the occasional dirty fantasy about Matt. Fat chance he’d dream of knocking boots with her—the younger sister of the woman who dumped him. Nope, she’ll just have to settle for the F-word.

Friends would be far easier if there wasn’t something combustible going on between them. And when casual interest starts to grow into something more, their tenuous bond strengthens in the heat of desire. But it may not survive the hurricane-force arrival of the last person either of them ever wanted to see again…

Warning: Small-town rivals, men in pursuit and family meddling—in good and bad ways. Look for a cowboy who knows how to rope, ride and rein in a hell of a lot more than eight seconds of sheer bliss.
