I’m so excited! We’re at the 2-months-to-go mark for the release of The Reluctant Duchess. In my world, that means chatting with Bethany House about fun things like bookmarks, personalized tea bags, Facebook covers, and when I can share the cover for the third book in the series.
I’m beginning the process of gathering influencers, so if you’re interested in being on my launch team this time around, be sure to check my blog Friday morning (10 a.m. EST) for a link to the sign-up form! (Last time some folks missed out because the list was filled before they even saw my blog, so this time I’m giving you warning, LOL!) An influencer will get a complimentary copy of the book from Bethany House with the understanding that they’ll help spread the word about the book through reviews, tweets, posts on Facebook, talking to family and friends, requesting libraries carry it, etc.
When The Reluctant Duchess releases, I’ll be having another big giveaway. This one’s piece de resistance will be another necklace. Not crafted by me this time. No, this one is from the lovely folks at Tiara Town.
This red crystal necklace is a fair imitation of the famous Nottingham rubies that play a vital role in the story of Brice, whom readers met in The Lost Heiress, and Rowena, the heroine from the Scottish Highlands. Who grew up in a castle modeled on Eilean Donan.
(No, I’m not sending anyone there as part of the giveaway. If only I were…I’d send myself along with them!)
But that’s not the only fun in the works! Next week I’ll be doing TWO fun reveals. First, the cover for book 3, A Lady Unrivaled. Cover reveal will be on February 9. Then, on February 10, I finally get to share some exciting news about my next series!
So, to sum up:
1. Come back here Friday at 10 a.m. EST to sign up for a few select influencer spots for The Reluctant Duchess, if you’re interested
2. Tuesday, February 9 is the cover reveal of A Lady Unrivaled
3. Wednesday, February 10 you’ll hear about the series I’m working on now
Have a fabulous Wednesday!

When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.
Thanks for the info, Annie! Is CelebrateLit fun to participate in? I'm looking to expand my book reviewing activity.
I would love to be an influencer.

Hi Sarah! I signed up with CelebrateLit Book Tours. I believe sign ups are closed for this particular tour, though.

I haven't heard, Carrie. Last time it was within a few weeks.
Hey Ro, congrats! Will the audiobook release at the same time as the pb? I'd love to find out how to get personalized tea bags! Neato!
Wow! How kind of you Roseanna. I love reviewing books for authors (such as: Jen Turano, Julie Klassen, Katie Breslin, Regina Jennings, Susan Mason). Hopefully, I will get a chance to add you to the list. Thanks for the opportunity to try 🙂

Hi Annie! How'd you end up on the blog tour for ARD? Sounds like fun! 🙂
And 10:00 am does make it easier, even for us Eastern time-zoners 😉 Thanks Roseanna!
I can't wait for The Reluctant Duchess! I'll be signing up!
Exciting! I won't be signing up, not because I don't want to, but I'm on tour with The Reluctant Duchess. So I'm quite excited about it! =) I'll be back on the 9th and 10th for the big reveals! Woohoo! Annie
There we go, I made it 10 EST so 7 PST. =)
You might! Fine chance it won't have completely filled up by then, so it's worth checking. =) Or I could push the post time back a little, to be fair to west coasters…
Yikes, 4 a.m. PST. Sounds like we probably won't get a chance over here in CA, but it sounds like some good fun. Can't wait to see the personalized tea bags. The jewelry is lovely. Best Wishes, Heather
It's a whole lot easier to keep straight the stories and characters I write than those I read. =) I spend months getting to know each one, so they're like people to me. (As opposed to books I read, which I spend only a few hours or days with, LOL.) So not too hard, believe it or not! =) (Though I do occasionally have to reread past books to make sure a new character isn't too much like an old one.)
Ooh Rosanne, how do you keep your books apart, characters separated and everything all together. Plus working on many others, you truly are a marvel.
Lots of great news in the near future! I am in your cheering section for the long haul!
