Sourcebooks Casablanca Romance Authors

Please welcome fellow Sourcebooks fiction author Megan Mulry, whose latest in her Unruly Royal women’s fiction series, R is for Rebel , is now in stores! Hello and Goodbye Well, hello Casablanca Authors! Thanks so much for having my Landmark Author self over to your digs to celebrate the publication of R IS FOR REBEL! This is the fourth and final book in the Unruly Royals series and—as many of you know from having written a series (serieses?)—it can be a triumphant and bittersweet moment when the last book is released. I’ve loved getting to know my characters and seeing how screwed up I could make them—they’re so much more deserving of their HEA that way, don’t you think?—but now it’s time to say bon voyage to the last of my little chicks and let them leave the nest. My characters also have a tendency to run screaming from the building the first time they realize they’re falling in love (and Abigail in R IS FOR REBEL is no exception), so I thought it’d be fun to ...

We're ending the week on a high note, with a special announcement from Sourcebooks Casablanca and Sourcebooks Landmark publicist Beth Sochacki (yeah, she got married this year, too!), about everyone's favorite "novel with romantic elements" author, SUSANNA KEARSLEY!    Since the holidays are about spending time with friends & family, I wanted to share a fun idea we are trying out for a fellow Sourcebooks author.   Susanna Kearsley will be going on a book tour for the release of The Splendour Falls in January. As we were thinking about the tour, we had an interesting thought. Wonder if we invited some of her friends along? Wonder if Susanna traveled to the hometowns of a few of her friends? Then not only would Susanna be able to have events with fellow authors that she admires (and are actual friends of hers! , but readers would also get to meet three great authors at one event. So this January, Susanna is heading out on the Susanna Kearsley & Friends T...

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...

Please give a warm welcome to Sourcebooks historical fiction author Anne Cleeland! Her novels have a romantic twist to them that we thought you’d enjoy hearing about. Tainted Angel (in stores NOW!) pits two spies against one another—can they trust each other? Find out more below!      Hello, everyone!  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 love to read.  My favorite stories are about ordinary people swept up in extraordinary events, so that’s what I like to write.   In Tainted Angel, the heroine is an agent for the Crown, but her spymaster suspects she is “tainted”—a double agent working for Napoleon. Her love interest has his own dark secrets—unless his affection is feigned and he is actually setting a trap to reveal her own treason.  There are twists and double-crosses as the attraction between the two spies becomes more p...

by Danielle Jackson, Sourcebooks Senior Publicist  From the flirty Bridget Jones’ Diary to the poignant The Help, women’s fiction is one of those genres that can be both confusing and consuming… And something I’ve learned over the years—women’s fiction readers are very similar to romance readers! We definitely see a crossover in appeal and readership between these two categories. And even though publishers are returning from Book Expo America, touting their big serious books for the Fall, summer is just getting started, and it’s time for those light, fluffy FUN reads. Call ‘em chick lit or beach reads, here are some of Sourcebooks’ latest women’s fiction novels: The Blue-Ribbon Jalapeño Society Jubilee by Carolyn Brown (March 2013) From our very own Carolyn—a novel of friendship, gossip and the hottest jalapeños in all of Texas! Southern Women’s Fiction The Last Telegram by Liz Trenow (April 2013) A woman looks back on her life working at a silk factory t...
