Vintage (Earliest Works)

Recently, I was asked by a reader for a list of my books. Great idea, and I guess it's overdue! I'll add my more recent books to my next post, but here in chronological order (well, more or less) are my earlier works. Please note that the first two are geared toward a Young Adult audience, with the second one being a YA romantic comedy featuring some mischievous teenaged vampires. The books released by Kensington's Encanto line are all written under my pseudonym of Consuelo Vazquez and, just FYI, are more sensuous than most of my later works. Sea Siren was recently re-edited and re-released by me with its new cover, which you'll find below. Please note that the romances range in "heat" from sweet to sensuous, and unless they're listed out of print can be purchased through Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

One more note: There's also a paranormal novella, "The Prince of the Forest," which was published in Melange Books' Strange Desires, and an early romance novel, Baby, It's You, which has been out of print forever. Actually, to my knowledge, the book was contracted but never actually published and the publisher is no longer in business. Fascination is a sweet romance that can be purchased directly from Awe-Struck Publishing at this specific link.

More notes: And Then Came You was a nominee for the 1999 Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Awards...Salsa Kiss, one of the Encanto line's first titles, was chosen to be serialized on Univision.com...The Cop & the Mermaid is my longest novel, so if you want a big, fat, juicy read about a mermaid, pack it with your flip-flops and sunscreen and bring it along to the beach!

Amazon Purchases Avalon

How the publishing world continues to evolve! This week came the news that Amazon purchased 62-year-old publishing house Avalon Books. Avalon published hard cover sweet romances and mysteries, mostly to libraries. Here's a link to an article in Forbes regarding Amazon's purchase of over 3,000 Avalon titles. That's interesting news to those of us authors whose works are numbered among those 3,000-plus works!

My first book, RUMOR HAS IT, was published by Avalon Books back in 1997. Like other Avalon authors, I'm looking forward to hearing from Amazon and hoping the book gets released in ebook version. This was a sweet and humorous romance set around Christmas in Vermont. I'd love to see this baby get a whole new audience of readers!
