August 2012 Newsletter:
Just wanted to let you know that my new book, RETURN OF THE VISCOUNT, is out today! Publishers Weekly said, "A charming Victorian romance that might be called the case of the mail-order groom...” I had lots of fun with this first book in my “Brides of Redemption” trilogy. Here’s the trilogy slogan: “What happens when three soldiers who need to be redeemed meet three women who need to marry?” In RETURN OF THE VISCOUNT, Cecilia has entered into a proxy marriage with a soldier she thinks is an old friend of her father’s in India, someone who agrees to help her retain her inheritance but makes no claim even on her dowry. And then he shows up at her door, and she begins to suspect something is going on... You can read an excerpt on my website http://www.GayleCallen.com Isn’t the cover wonderful? I think he looks just like my soldier, Michael Blackthorne.

Here it is at the major online bookstores:

And now, just what you’ve been waiting for—the announcement of the winner of my contest! She wins my entire 26-book backlist and a $25 gift card from the online bookstore of her choice. The winner is: (ta da!) Gwenivere1973! Congratulations! I’m sending a private email. And I better go box up all those books... ;)

As for what I’m working on, I just finished the next book in the “Brides of Redemption” trilogy, with the working title of CLAIMING THE EARL. The Earl of Knightsbridge leaves the army to find the widow of a fellow soldier, only to find that helping her has complications...

If you happen to be in northwest Pennsylvania from October 5-7, I’ll be hanging out and signing books every day at the For Women Only Expo in Erie PA. For more information, visit the website at http://www.forwomenonlyexpo.com/

Don’t forget, I’m also writing contemporary romances as Emma Cane. My next novel, TRUE LOVE AT SILVER CREEK RANCH will be available in January. Details at my website, http://www.EmmaCane.com

RT Book Reviews Magazine says: "Powerful themes and emotional impact...Readers will keep turning the pages as a bit of the gothic and great depth of emotion, draw them in while Callen works her magic." Hope you enjoy RETURN OF THE VISCOUNT, too!

Happy reading!

Great review from Romance Junkies! "RETURN OF THE VISCOUNT will entrance you with its wit, charm, fun-loving characters and steamy love scenes. Each scene is more pleasurable than the last." The book will be out in 6 days!!! I'm so excited!
