I'm a big tease...

Keep reading, and you'll see why. I have lots of fun planned for our launch party this week--can't help myself with All-American Father already on the shelves and doing well!!!

The Coach goodies I'll be giving away every day (see below) are not just for next week's fun--they're to tempt you to come out to Brenda Novak's online JDRF auction (www.brendanovak.com), which starts May 1st. I'm hostessing a Coach boutique you won't want to miss. And it's a really great cause. So, get excited and get read to bid!!!

The other daily prizes (wont' show those to you until the party start--nah) are things I know will be fan favorites, because "treating" you is as much fun as teasing.

Just like I've been teasing everyone with excerpts from upcoming books. You LOVED what you've already read of All-American Father. I promise the book won't disapppoint. I'll have new reviews to share throughout the week, plus excerpts of more upcoming stories.

For example, distraught readers have emailed to say they were not going to be happy if I left Lissa and Martin hanging forever (their story arc in my Feb. The Pefect Daughter took an abrupt turn toward the unexpected, and then was left hanging in the epilogue). As if I'd leave two of my favorite characters without their resolution...

Guess who has a strong secondary story AND romance in my October Because of a Boy? ;o) Yep, I'm teasing again, but I'll be excerpting some of Martin and Lissa's upcoming scenes...then, of course, I'll make you wait until the fall for the rest, he-he.

Okay, that's a taste. You're going to have to come hang for the party--starting tomorrow--for more. Until then, take a look at the drool-worthy Coach goodies I'll be giving away to randomly-drawn commenters this week. Then after the party, I'll start spotlighting the great things I've donated to Brenda's auction. Don't miss a bit--come back every day!!!


These spring-colored wristlettes are great as wallets, or as a clutch on a quick trip to anywhere or a fun dinner out. These are more casual than the leather ones I'm giving away for the auction, but you'll love them--promise!!

How about a Coach signature umbrella for April/May showers???

And these cutie-pie keycains in shiny Coach yellow and white leather (I have three)--I'm dying to keep one, but you get them all (plus I tossed a handful to Brenda to give away as bonus prizes for bidders who bid the most on certain days of the auction).
