First, some news: YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY will be released as a mass market paperback in March 2009. I don’t have many details, but I’m pretty thrilled with that tidbit.
Now for the reminders…
All About Romance is holding its Annual Reader’s Poll. This is your last week to vote. You have until the 17th to give your responses…and notice the last nominee in the Contemporary Romance category [ahem].
The winner of the Brava Novella Contest is posted. Brava Editor Kate Duffy picked her favorite. The Readers chose theirs. Go check out all of the entries.
Sybil is hosting a Valenduckie Event – and I don’t know exactly what that means, so don’t ask me. My romance story will post there at some point over the next few days. Wait for it.

Valentines+Ducks=Valenduckie
Ducks = Sybil’s obsession, especially if they’re cute.
Me? I don’t do “cute” – so what did I do? I posted a PSA on how a non-genital orgasm was like a man taking a dump. YES I DID! I went there!

by azteclady February 16th, 2008 at 11:15 amThanks for pimpin’ our poll…and for letting me know that your book will be out in mass market paperback. Why such a long wait? Generally it takes no more than a year for a hardcover to move into paperback, so why more than a year for this transition from trade to mass market? I’d hoped to be able to pick it up this coming summer.

by Laurie Gold February 20th, 2008 at 2:35 pmGwen – I knew I could count on you to go there
Cryna – Thank you!! I hope you enjoy RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW as well.
azteclady – I agree!
Laurie – You’re welcome. I love the Reader’s Poll. I don’t read books in every category, which is a problem, but I just skip those.
I know it seems like a delay until YOUR MOUTH DRIVES ME CRAZY comes out in mass market, but it’s really not. The release of Brava mass markets is a relatively new thing. Brava only releases one mass market title per month. Since there is a huge backlog of Brava titles that have never gone into mass market waiting their turn, the time lag is going to be more than a year for most titles. A March mass market release is great news for me. It’s much earlier than I expected, so I was thrilled to see it. Even better is the fact that YMDMC will come out in mass market in March and my next Hawaii-based single title (in trade) will come out right after in April. I love the idea of back-to-back releases. Despite the delay, I hope you enjoy it!!
