Terri Clark -Hollyweird
Dear friends and colleagues ~ It has been four years since my debut release, Sleepless, which makes me especially happy to announce my newest young adult novel, Hollyweird. It's a romantic comedy inspired by my love of the TV show Supernatural and Ellen Degeneres' old phone call to God sketch. I had a complete blast taking a tongue-in-cheek poke at Hollywood and I hope the story will make you laugh.
I hear tell that Hollyweird is starting to be seen in the wild! So please check your local or online bookstore. And if you’re a fellow librarian, please consider ordering it for your YA collection.
My best friend, Des, and I totally freaked when we won the contest to meet THE Dakota Danvers in Hollywood. But now we're finding out he's SO not the angel everyone believes him to be. In fact, Dakota is the son of Satan, wreaking havoc on Hollywood and creating an evil army hellbent on world domination.
Lucky for us, Dakota's super-cute personal assistant, Jameson, is a fallen angel trying to get his wings back, and he's working undercover to squash his demon boss's plan. If Jameson hadn’t taken me under his wing I’d be in serious trouble, because I’m a total newb when it comes to conquering evil. But, truth be told, that sexy angel's got me all aflutter and may just be one temptation I can't resist.

“Hollyweird is one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. I laughed throughout the whole book- and the hysterical one-liners kept me thoroughly entertained…Hollyweird is the next hot teen read that everyone will be talking about.” ~Tween Tribune
I'd be so appreciative if you'd help spread the word, especially to any teens or young adults you know.
I could not do this without all the support from family, friends and colleagues so I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is a sweet, funny book and I wrote it during a difficult, painful time—I had just come out of a five year remission with my Sarcoidosis, but I wouldn’t let that stop me from achieving my dream. The book is actually dedicated to those affected by this disease. It's my little way of trying to raise awareness. And now I’m going to work on getting a new contract. Make that contractS!
Never give up, never give in. Or as I like to say from my all-time favorite movie, “Goonies, never say die!”
Hugs,
Terri Clark (forever a Goonie)

From Sherry Thomas- One Week Until Beguiling the Beauty
Dear Friends,
I was at a neighborhood barbecue Sunday afternoon. Even though the gathering was under a big oak tree, the guests were perspiring rather freely. We are about to say goodbye to spring and gird ourselves for the beginning of the long Texas summer. I hope the temperature where you are is more to your liking!
In other news, where has time gone? I've been so busy finishing on deadline, I look up and the release day of BEGUILING THE BEAUTY is almost here. This is such a fun, fast-paced story, I can't wait to share it with you.
When the Duke of Lexington meets the mysterious Baroness von Seidlitz-Hardenberg aboard a transatlantic ocean liner, he is fascinated. She is exactly what he has been searching for—a beautiful woman who interests and entices him. He falls hard and fast—and soon proposes marriage.
And then she disappears without a trace…
For in reality, the “baroness” is Venetia Easterbrook—a proper young widow who had her own vengeful reasons for instigating an affair with the duke. But the plan has backfired. Venetia has fallen in love with the man she despised—and there’s no telling what might happen when she is finally unmasked…
Library Journal has given the book a starred review and raves that it is "tender, discerning, lushly romantic." The Romance Dish gushes, "Complex, compelling characters, an unusual and emotionally powerful plot, and prose with the range and beauty of music—what more can a reader ask for?"
You can preorder BEGUILING THE BEAUTY at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes, Google Books, Powell's Books and IndieBound.
Kristan Higgins, one of my favorite authors, has a new book out this week. And Kristan is going to do something wonderful: She will donate a portion of the first week's proceeds toward SAVE THE CHILDREN.
Even better, a lovely individual has offered to match Kristan's donations dollar for dollar. So let's all pitch in, give Kristan some stellar sales, and make this fundraiser for SAVE THE CHILDREN a roaring success.
You can buy SOMEBODY TO LOVE at Amazon, B&N, IndieBound, and Books A Million.
In other news, I am going to be the keynote speaker at Connecticut Fiction Fest on May 12. There will be tons of good workshops, including mine on Subtext, for writers. And for readers, there will be a signing open to the public. Come and say hi if you are in the area.
And is that not a ravishing cover for the second book of the Fitzhugh trilogy, RAVISHING THE HEIRESS? I love this book. I think it is one of the best stories I've ever written. So keep an eye out for Millie and Fitz's story when you read BEGUILING THE BEAUTY.
And woot, my backlist is still on sale at $3.99. (And for my overseas readers who have been frustrated that my ebooks are not available for purchase, I will soon make them available.)

“Being newlyweds and new parents is challenging enough. But nothing’s ever easy for Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini, particularly not when they have to switch from being super-being exterminators and Commanders in Centaurion Division to mastering the political landscape as the new heads of American Centaurion’s Diplomatic Corps.
Kitty’s brand of diplomacy and lobbying isn’t quite as smooth as Jeff’s–Washington parties, lobbyists of all stripes, and politicians from all states and countries present challenges a well-stocked iPod and quirky sense of humor aren’t always up to handling. But when a shadowy assassination plot and a new set of anti-alien conspirators are identified, Kitty’s the diplomat for the job–in between “Mommy and Me,” “Diplomacy for Beginners,” and the dreaded “Washington Wife” classes.
As explosions, assassination attempts, and murders pile up, the question shifts from “who’s the target” to “will we all survive to see next week”?
Armed with only their wits, and dressed to kill, it’s up to Kitty and the Diplomatic Corps to stop the bad guys from unleashing mayhem on all the world’s leaders. But will Kitty trust the right people, at the right times, or will going her own way prove deadly–not just to her, but to her daughter, Jamie?”
