Sourcebooks Casablanca Romance Authors

Welcome back to fellow Casablanca author, Elizabeth Michels! She’s here to celebrate the release of book 2 in the Tricks of the Ton Series, Desperately Seeking Suzanna : Let’s Dance! Thanks for hosting me on the Casablanca Authors Blog today! I’m so excited to be here, celebrating the release of the second book in my Tricks of the Ton series, Desperately Seeking Suzanna! Suzanna is a fiery vixen who puts gentlemen under her spell as she dances the night away…too bad she doesn’t exist.   In truth, Suzanna is just ordinary Sue Green who has either truly unfortunate dancing skills or simply bad timing, as she injures a gentleman and then refuses to dance with him repeatedly over an entire season.   Isn’t dancing fun?! I’ve always loved all types of dance.   I started taking ballet lessons when I was 4 years old and continued with it until I went away to college.   In addition to ballet, I’ve taken tap, jazz, hip hop, attended master classes and even wen...

A warm Casablanca welcome to author Jane Ashford, who is celebrating the release of her brand new Regency romance, THE BRIDE INSISTS! Tomorrow is the official publication date for The Bride Insists , my twentieth regency set historical romance. In honor of that event, I invite you to join me for high tea. I’ve set out my best china, the Haddon Hall . There are pots and pots of English Breakfast blend. Milk or lemon for you? We’re offering scones and iced teacakes and lots of those little crustless sandwiches, just like the ones served at The Ritz . Cheddar and chutney? Smoked salmon? For those who prefer something a bit stronger than tea, have no fear. We have Pimm’s Cups , with a slice of cucumber and a few blue borage blossoms. Just keep in mind – there’s gin in there! Hungrier guests are directed to the tray of scotch eggs , quite filling. So, does everybody have a cup or a glass and a plate of goodies? Splendid. Do have a seat. If we were all members of the hau...

A very warm Casablanca welcome to fellow romance author EMILY GREENWOOD! The second book in her Regency Mischief series, GENTLEMEN PREFER MISCHIEF , hits stores this month! Casa authors, thanks so much for helping me celebrate the release of GENTLEMEN PREFER MISCHIEF! It’s so fun to be here with you. And since no party is complete without delicious treats, I thought I’d bring my two main characters, Miss Lily Teagarden and Hal, Viscount Roxham, with me today to bake the cake. Why don’t I let them get to it? Lily : Do we really need a cake? It seems like a waste of ingredients to create something that’s not good for us.   Why don’t we make some nice whole wheat bread instead? Hal, unwrapping a stick of butter : We need a cake. You need to live a little. He drops butter into a mixing bowl and starts beating it, mercilessly and cheerfully, with a wooden spoon. Lily, eyes lofting toward the ceiling : You really have taken being a viscount too much to hear...

Please give a warm welcome to fellow Sourcebooks author, Anne Cleeland, whose second historical fiction novel, Daughter of the God-King , hit stores this week! New from Anne Cleeland:   Daughter of the God-King Hello, fellow book lovers!   I was a mild-mannered lawyer and mother of four when I decided—like many people who love reading—that I would try my hand at writing the kind of stories I loved to read.   My favorite stories are about ordinary people swept up in extraordinary events, so that’s what I like to write.    Daughter of the God-King is the second book in my Regency adventure series; the first was Tainted Angel , which came out last June.    Here’s the run-down: The daughter of world-famous Egyptologists is living an uneventful life in England until her parents disappear while working their latest find in the Valley of the Kings.   Suddenly, the various factions from Napoleon’s last war are pursuing her, and sh...
