Happy New Year, Dear Readers! Wow - 2015 .... This decade is just flying by! I know many people are blogging about their "year in review," but it just kind of whooshed right by me. I know I worked - a lot! Mainly putting in plenty of overtime at my soul-sucking day job. I did finish two novels - one of them being Viuda , which is a work of art if I do say so myself (fingers crossed that my agent finds a publisher soon so you can finally read it!) - and, if I'm lucky, I might finish a third this week. I also completed the edits and enhancements for The Proud and the Prejudiced (which - as a reminder - is still only 99¢ on all eBooks through January 1st , then it jumps back to the extravagant regular price of $2.99). Right now it is only available on eBook but soon will be released in hardcover. I have so much planned for 2015, I hope I have enough time! I shan't take up too much of your time here, as I know you must have new years' preparations and...

Good evening, dear readers!   Thank you for joining me for my Happy Hour feature, Cocktails with Colette , which I have on Thursday evenings occasionally to introduce you to my author friends. Normally, I use a picture of a dirty vodka martini, but in honor of my guest tonight, I am sharing a postcard for St~Germaine , as Scarlet Hawthorne 's favourite drink is the St~Germaine Cocktail (which is quite yummy, I must admit - recipe below in "Meet the Author" - use champagne ). So pour the cocktail of your choice as I introduce our guest. Scarlet is currently in the middle of the blog tour for her new release Deadline , and she joined me for Coffee last month for the cover reveal . Part romance, part mystery, and part police procedural, Deadline has been on Amazon's "Hot New Release" lists since its debut! In honor of this, Scarlet is offering an additional giveaway here on Cocktails in addition to the blog tour giveaway for three signed paperbacks. Ju...
