Sourcebooks Casablanca Romance Authors

I’ve recently concluded truck travel from Maryland down to Florida, out to California, and back by way of Colorado. This is how much I hate to fly—and how much I enjoy driving the open road. I used my rambles to stop in at several dozen Barnes and Noble bookstores, as well as a few indies, and a couple pf Books a Millions. I figure as long as I’m in the neighborhood, why not sign my stock? Every bookstore was willing to accommodate that request, though one fellow asked for identification. (I write under a pseudonym… We pulled up my website on my phone, and there I am, in grinning, Grace Burrowes, color.) As I stood at the customer service counter, scribbling away, I cast around for small talk, and ended up asking, “So how do you like working here?”At first, it was just idle chit-chat, but the answers I got prompted me to make it into an informal survey.

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...
