The writings and ramblings of Colette Saucier

Gentle readers~ I know I have become a terribly neglectful blogger. I have gone from posting dozens of blogs each year to only seven last year; and I think this may be only my third of 2017! What can I say? Blogging requires two items of which I am in short supply:  time and patience. If it also required money, I would have the trifecta! Yet I have not completely disappeared. For anyone in the Gulf Coast area: I will be signing books this Saturday, March 25th, at the IP Casino Resort in Biloxi with over fifty other authors - and tickets are on $5! If you are able, I hope you will come see me. I will also have my novels available as eBooks - both ePub and mobi - on flash drives with darling little book charms! I may be having a difficult time blogging, but fortunately I do know quite a few other authors; and I love to host them on my blog ( check them out here ). I hate to promote myself, although it probably doesn't seem that way; but I think writers need to stick toge...

Greetings, dear readers! I decided that, as I am having a blog tour for Dearest Bloodiest Elizabeth , and I also happen to have a blog, I might as well participate as well!  Not only are there GIVEAWAYS, but also the eBook version of Book II: The Confession of Mr. Darcy, Vampire , is on sale for 40% off throughout October!

At the height of the London Season, she discovers how low his debauchery sinks on the night of the Weathersby Ball.

Lord George Draconis Thornton has returned from abroad as Earl of Melbourne. ...

Welcome back to My Sexy Saturday ! " This week’s theme is Sexy Delight." Gentle readers, I have had difficulty trying to come up with an idea for this week's theme. (If you read the full description here , I think you'll understand!) There was one part of it that did strike me in particular: "Still, we want to remind you to think about lovers committing to each other, no matter where they are. The stakes can be high or there can be no stakes." Well, I can't hear the word "stakes" without thinking of vampires! (As in a stake through the heart!) Thus, I have selected an excerpt from Pulse and Prejudice: The Confession of Mr. Darcy, Vampire , where the vampire Darcy realizes he cannot live...or un live...without Elizabeth Bennet following his discovery of her in the hedge maze. (Yes, I installed a hedge maze on the grounds of Pemberley, and all with my little pen!) W i sd om and blood combating in s o ten d e r a b o...

With my first novel published, I created a Facebook "Official" Author Page with no notion that I would receive 100 Likes, and now I have over 1000! I don't know if it's because of my books, my cocktails, or the pictures of my dogs; but I am overwhelmed by your support! To demonstrate my appreciation, I am going to giveaway THREE eBook copies of each of my Pride and Prejudice adaptations - modern and paranormal. Just leave a comment below and tell me which novel you would prefer. And don't forget to leave your email address so I can let you know when you win! Winners will be chosen in one week (the night of June 3rd) and announced on June 4th, which I will, of course, also post on my Page. In the meantime, I will keep on posting bits and pieces from the minutia of my life--be it writing, wine, or my soul-sucking day job. (My mother-in-law says I mainly post about the latter two - as if they're unrelated!) To help you decide which novel you would pref...
