Especially, apparently, to those who wait at airports!
Last week, I had to fly to Philadelphia and back for business. And I spent far too much time in airports as a result. I didn't really expect any reward for my trouble, but when I arrived home on Friday, I found a box from Kensington Publishing containing...
THESE!
I was shocked, as I really didn't expect to see my author copies until sometime next month. And I have to admit, I have had a wonderful time touching them, smelling them, and opening them up to random pages to read my own words. It's almost...surreal.
But all of this is good for you, too. In celebration, I'll be giving away two signed copies to random blog commentators. This means you could be getting a sneak peek of what's behind the red door a full month before it's available in bookstores!
I'll be open for comments for until Friday, when I'll draw a winner. And on the day I draw that winner, I'll be opening a NEW contest for a signed copy of Ann Aguirre's amazing Blue Diablo, which I read on the plane to and from Philly and which I can recommend as one of the best books I've read in 2009.

Ooooh, I'm excited about this book, Jackie! And man, they look beautiful! Love the cover, the design, everything! :)
I'm not commenting to be in the contest, but just to say they look absolutely gorgeous and you will knock the readers away with your beautiful novellas.
Jackie - The book looks AMAZING! I would love to win a copy! It sounds incredible too; you must be thrilled to be involved with such a lovely book. :)

How exciting! I saw the link to your blog on Amie Stuart's twitter and ran right over when the question she asked was "do you like steamy historicals?" Um . . YES! :) I'd love a chance to win.

Usually don't beg...Usually say, don't enter me 'cause would feel bad winning. But in this case, I WANT this book. Enter me, por favor!
Awww, you were in Philly and I missed you!
Tessa Dare mentioned your book to me months ago, and I've been borderline obsessed with it since. I love, love, love steamy historicals.
