New cover love!

I'm working on edits for my next release, Challenging Andie at the moment, but the cover is done, and I just can't resist sharing it!

More about Challenging Andie closer to it's release....

Isn't it gorgeous?

Lots of 'freeloads' and some nice reviews too...

I've had over 36,000 free downloads of The Morning After and Catch Me A Catch over the past 3 days, so thank you everyone who's grabbed themselves a copy, I hope you enjoy!

And thanks to 2 review sites that have posted reviews in the past day or so:

Romancing the book gave me a 'lovely rose' rating, which they describe as 'an enjoyable read, I would recommend it' (you can read the entire review here)

http://romancing-the-book.com/2012/05/review-the-morning-after-by-sally-clements.html

and Coffee Time Romance and More gave me a 4 cups review, saying:

I thoroughly enjoyed The Morning After. This book has everything you want in a story: a great plot, interesting settings and characters you want to hope for and believe in. Add that these things are all written in a fun, lighthearted way and it was easy to get lost in this story.

Lavender Biscuits:

Ingredients:

75g butter, at room temperature, 25g caster sugar , a pinch of salt, 60g plain flour, 25g rice flour
1tsp lavender flowers, crushed in a pestle and mortar, ½tsp crushed fennel seeds

Heat the oven to 150C.
In a mixing bowl, or with an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until soft.

Crush the lavender flowers with the fennel seeds.

Sift in the flours and salt and add the crushed flower and seed. Bring together to make a dough. Don’t overwork it too much.

Wrap the dough in film and rest in the fridge for about 20mins.

Then roll it out to about 1cm thick and cut out shapes with little cutters.

Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.

After it is cool, you can dust some icing sugar over the biscuits.

Here’s my phrase:

Line 38: Weren’t you feeling cramped, lost among the cluster of your peers?

Don’t forget to visit the other authors involved in the hop, conveniently located on the linky below:

Freebie Friday!

Just a heads up to let everyone know that Bound to Love is free on Friday and Saturday. That's tomorrow!
