Tori Carrington - Yum, Barb!
Tori Carrington - 'Kay, time to cut and paste...
BadBarb - Lori, you must have missed that email, Diana and I cant find it in our dictionaries
Tori Carrington - In FIRE AND ICE bad girl criminal defense attorney, Jena McCade, has finally found her bad boy sexual equal. Professional hockey player, Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie is everything she's ever wanted in a man. He's gorgeous, he's incredibly talented…and he's temporary! Or is he....?
Cissy - I don't have to, Lori We can do free for all after your intro if you'd prefer. I live to serve (or just sit here)
poohwine - hi
O - You can do it
PattiF - LOL Barb. Yeah, it tuckered her all out.
BadBarb - ooh I can do it hehe
Tori Carrington - Our hero Tommy "Wild Man" Brodie was named a W.I.S.H. Hero in the December issue of Romantic Times BOOKclub!
shey - mmmm lucky Morgan
SandyV - Hi everyonne
Tori Carrington - Additionally, FIRE AND ICE is the first book in our Legal Briefs miniseries. The second book is GOING TOO FAR, due out in February. We just uploaded the cover for the book to our website at http://www.toricarrington.com. Can you say yum? It'll be absolutely perfect when we see the cover with the heroine with the dark hair she's supposed to have. That aside, thou, we've been thrilled with all our covers lately. Aren't all the covers for Blaze great?
Tori Carrington - Also in February, we'll participate in eHarlequin.com's Five Degrees of Sexy on-line serial. Essentially, five different authors from five different lines begin with the same opening paragraphs, then take the story from there. Ours is tentatively titled FEVER and will be a mini-episode in our Blaze Legal Briefs miniseries in that both the hero and the heroine know characters from the previous three books and those characters are indirectly to credit for their coming together. The hero will be a hockey player and the heroine an attorney, and the opening is a Valentine's Day bachelor auction. Oh, the possibilities! We start the story tomorrow so we're pretty psyched!
Tori Carrington - Oh! While you're visiting our site, enter our latest drawing! Two lucky winners will receive $25, and a third will get a pre-release copy of our February 2003 Blaze GOING TOO FAR. Drawing closes December 31st so enter now by clicking here.
Tori Carrington - For those of you waiting for info on THE BAD GIRLS CLUB Temptation miniseries, check out our site! We've uploaded both Leslie Kelly's and Julie Leto's cover and blurbs. We're still waiting for our cover, but we've listed a blurb. The three of us are having a blast brainstorming fun stuff to give away. From a basket chock full of goodies for the BAD GIRL in you to tattoos bearing The Bad Girls Club logo, you'll want to keep posted!
