Updated shopping cart, charity anthology and a chat

Wow! So much is going on with Freya's Bower right now. This past weekend, I worked to upgrade the FB shopping cart. This is not the main portion of the site, but the section where you go to buy your ebooks and books. It's much easier to navigate now and more pleasing on the eye.

February 1st is right around the corner. The day the anthology is released. You can purchase the books presale through the shopping cart both in ebook and print format. If you buy a print version, I will include a free bookmark (see the photo along the side) with the purchase.

On February 1st, Gemma Halliday is hosting a bash for the release of the anthology on her website. The authors of the anthology will be there to chat with you. Not only that, there will contests and prizes (books and ebooks). The authors attending are: Gemma Halliday, Lois Winston, Rachelle Chase, Rhonda Stapleton, Amanda Brice, Sela Carsen, Sasha White, Richelle Mead, Jackie Kessler, Kit Wylde, Candace Havens, Faith Bicknell-Brown, Emily Veinglory, Jenna Bayley-Burke, Debbie Mumford, Bebe Thomas, and Susan Lyons.

Date: February 1st
Time: 5-7 pm PST (8-10 pm EST)
Location: Gemma Halliday's chat room, which will be available on the 1st

If you haven't visited our site recently, do so. We have two new titles available: Stripped by Rhonda Stapleton and Something Unexpected by Miranda Heart. I have also added a new menu feature, eBooks by Authors. You can read their bios, find out a little bit about our authors, and how many books they have.

Happy reading!

Cover/release date for Stripped

CoverVan, M.E. Ellis, and I worked together on the cover (okay, I just dug up some of the images...CoverVan did all the work. haha). It's hilarious - you have to read the book to get the references. LOL!

My book will be released January 16!! YAY!!

'A Personal Statement'

Hi all,

I finally got here despite the attempts of Blogger to split my personality and generally confuse me!

I wanted to share with you the cover of 'A Personal Statement' which I've just seen. I think it's wonderful, very cool and sophisticated, which I hope mirrors the book.

Introduction

Hi, all. I hope I'm doing this right. :D

My name is Rhonda Stapleton, and my chick lit novel, Stripped, will be coming out with Freya's Bower this year! YAY!

Here's a blurb about it:

Amanda Thomson, a web designer dissatisfied with her dull life, finds out that Jake Waters, the talentless stripper at the consolation party her friends threw for her when she lost out on a management promotion, got the job she wanted – no, deserved.

And not only is she fighting to prove herself at work, Amanda also has to deal with her meddling Grammy, her mom dating for the first time since her dad’s death, and her sister’s nagging suspicions of a cheating spouse.

Jake just relocated from Chicago and only stripped to his skivvies at Amanda’s party as a favor for a friend. He’s a workaholic single dad, trying to balance work demands while caring for his eight-year-old daughter…and chafing beneath his pushy mother’s influence.

The power struggles and sexual tension increase when Amanda and Jake are forced to work together at a tech conference, and then on an important client’s project. Amanda struggles to believe in her own self-worth. Jake struggles to learn how to balance work and home responsibilities.

And both struggle to get what they want and need from a relationship with each other.

As soon as the cover is ironed out and approved, I'll post it here.

I look forward to participating on this board and getting to know you guys better.

Thanks!

Rhonda
