Hello everyone!

Just a quick reminder that we have some upcoming workshops booked at the Café. Workshops are held in the third week of the month and they’re free. They can be held all on one day, or on specific days, or broken down into Monday to Friday lectures - the format is up to the presenter. We have two booked already for this fall:
During the week of September 17, Sierra Donovan will be teaching ON (AND OFF) THE AIR: AN INSIDE LOOK AT RADIO.

During the week of October 15, Renee Russell will be teaching FACTUAL FICTION: Using Genealogical Resources To Create Accurate Historicals.

You can find out more about both authors by clicking through to their bios on the sidebar and visiting their website. Here’s hoping both of them will stop by in advance to update us on the schedule for their workshops.

See you here!

This summer I got first peek at the cover for the first book in my Dragonfire series. Ooooo, it’s HOT!

Check it out on my site and let me know what you think.

I’m thinking February 2008 is too far away…

The final book in Lyn Cote’s Harbor Intrigue series ! A free gift for you!
 

First, the last novel in my series, “Harbor Intrigue,” Dangerous Secrets, will be on sale in stores and online on July 10th.

Here is what Romantic Times Magazine had to say about Dangerous Secrets:

 ”4 ½ Stars—Fantastic, A Keeper!

When book store owner Sylvie Patterson’s visiting cousin dies under suspicious circumstances, her life–and lives of those around her–become fraught with peril.  State homicide cop Ridge Matthews is suddenly in the picture to take his ward, 12-year-old Ben, to military school.  But Ben has wormed his way into the hearts of Sylvie and her father and may be in danger.  Thus in Dangerous Secrets by Lyn Cote, Ben’s future is put on hold while they try to solve the mystery.  Don’t miss this intriguing read that will keep you guessing.”
 

(Dangerous Season and Dangerous Game precede Dangerous Secrets, but each is a standalone story, but set in the same community, Bayfield and Ashland Counties of WI.)

Second, A FREE GIFT FOR THE FIRST 50.

In celebration of Love Inspired’s 10th anniversary, my publisher has sent her brochures which include two (2) one dollar ($1) off coupons for any one Love Inspired and one Love Inspired Suspense good from now until December 31, 2007. I will send one of these brochures to each of the first 50 people who request one. Just go to my website (www.LynCote.net) and click Email Lyn and e-mail me your snail address. I will send you one. (And will never divulge your email or snail address to anyone else!)

I feel honored that I was a part of the first 10 years of Love Inspired Romance. And I’m happy to share this offer with you.

I’ve already screamed my news to the rafters over on RWAOnline, and now I’m doing it here!  I’ve been asked to participate in a ghoulishly themed anthology entitled “WEDDINGS FROM HELL” (Avon Books, May 2008).

Fellow authors Maggie Shayne, Kathryn Smith, Jeaniene Frost and I will put together four fiendish tales of paranormal pandemonium centered around (you guessed it!) big, fat supernatural weddings.

In keeping with that theme, my June 2007 contest is called “Wedding Stories From Hell“!  I know a few of you have some!

Leave a comment here, or visit my website at http://www.tgarey.com and leave me a message there, and tell me a story about the worst wedding you’ve ever attended; the ugliest bridesmaid dress you’ve ever seen (or had to wear), the most embarrassing wedding toast you’ve ever heard, the biggest Bridezilla you’v ever had to put up with, the drunken groomsman who groped you at the reception - whatever wedding horror you’ve had to endure! Did your future mother-in-law get drunk at the rehearsal dinner and tell you all about wonderful your fiance’s ex-girlfriend was?  Did your second cousin once removed grab the microphone at the reception in hopes of launching a singing career?  I wanna hear all about it!  LOL

The winner will win a signed Advance Reader Copy of Dead Girls Are Easy (in bookstores August 28th), and I’ll feature the top three stories on my blog and my website.

Good luck, and I can’t wait to hear about your wedding stories from hell!
