Sandra Marton:

Sandra Marton is very excited about her next Presents, coming in May. She's being mysterious when talking about it. All she'll say is that Blackwolf's Redemption is a different kind of Presents. "Very different," to quote Sandra.

Will there be a sexy Alpha hero? Of course, she says. An independent-minded heroine? Without question. Will there be a tough conflict for her hero and heroine to work through? That's when Sandra smiles and says, "You'd better believe it." And promises she'll tell us a little more next month.

Meanwhile, for her fans elsewhere... Sandra's especially pleased to report that her best-selling O'Connell saga is being reprinted in two gorgeous volumes in the UK. And she is truly delighted to note that Azur, the French version of Presents, will celebrate the publication of its 3000th book with a special celebratory edition of her bestselling novel, The Alvares Bride. 2/1/10

Anne McAllister:

In February Anne McAllister celebrates her 25th anniversary with Harlequin! In February 1985 her book Starstruck was published in the Harlequin American line, followed later that year by Dare To Trust, a Mills & Boon Romance and Harlequin Romance, Quicksilver Season, a Harlequin American, Lightning Storm, a Mills & Boon Romance and Harlequin Presents, and A Chance of Rainbows, another Harlequin American -- all in 1985. Is it any wonder she didn't have any books out in 1986 (she was recovering!). To celebrate she's giving away a book a day for the next year! To get details, go to her website or her blog starting February 1st to join the celebration. 2/1/10
