More and more updates

I recently got word that PRIDE MATES (Book 1 of Shifters Unbound) will be re-released in both mass market paperback and e-book in July 2011. The cover is similar to the first, but this one will be published by Berkley Sensation. So it will be available again, hooray! Pre-order from Amazon by clicking the title (the Kindle and other versions will be available closer to release date).

Reminder that Book 2 of Shifters Unbound: PRIMAL BONDS releases on March 1, 2011. Soon!

The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie will be re-released by Berkley in August 2011 to coincide with the release of The Many Sins of Lord Cameron. You can preorder those by clicking the titles. (Lord Ian will also be available in e-book again at that time.)




I've updated my website quite a bit (http://www.jennifersromances.com ) with information on the Mackenzies and Shifters series, plus I've added to my FAQ page (http://www.jennifersromances.com/faq.html )

Also I have new free goodies! Book plates and bookmarks. Click on "Free goodies from Jennifer" on the right-hand menu.

That's all for now!

Stoked--Great Reviews on Madness of Lord Ian

The reviews for Madness of Lord Ian are pouring in, and they're all (so far) fantastic. I'm speechless (ok, I've never been speechless in my life--let's say I'm stunned). I never expected this.

I wrote this book, because I had to get it out of myself. Ian and his brothers haunted me. I couldn't think of anything else until I completed the book, even though I was contracted for other stories and marketing books already finished. But Ian would not let me go!

The other three brothers now are growling and grouching and daring me to give them HEAs. And I will, guys. You can't get away that easy. (Mac and Isabella's story is in the works.)

Anyway, here are some of the reviews for Ian:

Romantic Times BookReviews 4.5 Top Pick! (You have to be a subscriber to read this one until a couple months from now). Here's a quote: "By tackling an unusual theme, à la Laura Kinsale, Ashley touches readers on many levels. Brava!"

All About Romance--Desert Isle Keeper review

The Good, The Bad, The Unread A+ review

Barbara Vey's Publisher's Weekly blog

There are others out there, and I have heard there are more to come. I'm pleased the reviewers are liking it, amazed at the enthusiasm, and hope you all like it.

Another chance to win IAN for free

Tomorrow (April 2), I will be over at The Good, The Bad, and the Unread to do an interview/blog Q&A. The publicist from Dorchester has offered I think four (4) free ARCs of The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie, to one of the commenters (or however they decide to run the contest over there). I will be popping in and out to answer questions all day, so ask away.

Sandy at GBU has done a nice review of Madness here:

Tomorrow, early, I will post the link to the interview (or just go on over to The Good, The Bad, The Unread site and look for it). The interview will be live tomorrow morning.

Best of luck!

Woo hoo review

I found out yesterday that The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie (May 2009), got a 4.5 star, Top Pick review at Romantic Times! Yay! They don't just hand those out, so I'm honored. This is my second Top Pick this year (The Dragon Master by Allyson James got one too). Before that--nil. :-)

I'm floored.

There are also some good reviews out there of Ian that synopsize the plot well. I'll gather them and post links for those who like that sort of thing.
