Mom publishes books faster than I can hawk them.

Coming any day -- my mom's latest historical from Avon. Order HIS DARK AND DANGEROUS WAYS now!

My Mom's Latest Book!

My mom has yet another novel about to hit stores -- it's coming out tomorrow. Romantic Times gave it a whopping 4 1/2 stars! And Coffee Time Romance said of her latest, "This fabulous read is pure joy and delightful in every way."

But why should you buy her book over all the other fabulous historicals in the world? Because she is very romantic. Proof below:

Doggies, babies and her heroes and heroines all feel the Layton love. (click to see full size)

Wow, right? And if you buy her book, who knows, maybe she will get romantic with YOU!*

Yes, now you are convinced, and dying to read her latest book. Well fret not, dear blog reader, you can buy it right here! Aint technology great?


PS Tomorrow look for my mom guest blogging on Romance Vagabonds!

*Don't hold your breath. Also, she's going to murder me for that line. Snausome!

Afterwards, I took some pictures of mom posing with my 4-month-old reason I haven't posted recently on this site.

Grandma Layton? I can hardly believe it myself!

When the interview at romancenoveltv.com goes up, I'll post it here, so stay tuned!!

My mom's new historical -- in stores now!

My mother is publishing books faster than I can blog about them.

"Queen of Shadows" marks her first book published under her real name, Edith Felber. Well, one of her real names, anyway.

Pick up a copy of my mom's latest wherever books are sold. Except maybe on a homeless person's blanket/bazaar. I find they, the homeless vendors, usually have a limited selection, limited to cookbooks, bestsellers and old copies of Penthouse.

Unlike this pirate, which is just sort of creepy...

Shiver me timbers, kiddo -- your eyeliner is perfect!

Mama's got a brand new blog!

Word Wenches: Serving up saucy verbage since 2006!

Not content with producing one fabulous blog (where you really should go), my mother has recently teamed up with 6 other best-selling romance and historical author pals to produce the fabulousness that is wordwenches.com.

As mom describes it on her blog,

"We have seven authors blogging -- one for everyday of the week! And what a crew: Mary Jo Putney, Patricia Rice, Jo Beverley, Loretta Chase, Sarah Gabriel, Susan Holloway Scott, and me! Please do come visit us!"

I really enjoy Word Wenches because it mixes the personal (like how one author has been known to write her books in the car while her children are at ice hockey practice) with serious musings on the three R's: research, writing and romance. Oh and when these authors do trivial, it's so well-written and clever, there's nothing trivial about it.

So go on already! Visit the wenches here.
