**Do you have news you'd like to share with our visitors? Then please send your announcements to news@ck2skwipsandkritiques.com and we'll post them on our site here. ~ * ~ From Dee Knight: Dee News And Nothing But Dee News Spring is on the way! Isn't it? Please say yes! It snowed twice this week and three times last week. I've blocked from my memory the number of times it snowed in the weeks before. And it all requires shoveling. It's been said that people with ATVs love this kind of weather, but is Dee happy? :( That should give you a hint. I know spring has to arrive eventually, and before I know it, it'll be hotter than blazes and I'll be thinking of these morning shovelings wistfully. Right. Happy almost spring! Here's news of the March Into Spring contest! This month, Karyn Witmer-Gow is our special guest. Karyn is famous for her historical novels, but the book she's featuring in our contest is a contemporary. Let me tell you, it's absolutely wonderful--A Simple Gift. It's emotionally powerful, so a good box of tissue is recommended to keep nearby when you read it! I've read every book being offered for prizes this month, and all of them are great. The March winner is going to have a wealth of reading material!! Don't wait until the 20th and take a chance that you might miss out--answer the questions and enter early. Last month I happened to meet Marianne Arkins on the Samhain author loop. Her first book with Samhain was released on February 12. It's not an erotic novel, but it sounds really exciting. Find out a little more about Marianne and her new book in my interview. And then visit her in the last few days of her traveling blog tour. What a neat idea! I must be spending entirely too much time with Francis Drake because this free short story is, well, different. Whether or not it works is something you all will have to judge--did you like it? Let me know by Monday night at the usual e-mail address, and I'll choose someone to receive a download of any Dee book. As usual, I've just done a quick read through, so please be gentle with any errors you might see! I hope you enjoy The Gift. Thanks for visiting with me this month! I love you all! Dee Where's Dee? Trust me, coy is not my style, but sometimes I appear on sites where you might not think to look for me. Each Thursday you'll find me spouting off on the Erotic Muses blog site and on the 1st Thursday of each month, on the Liquid Silver blog site. Plus I'm always on Author Island doing the hula or drinking one of those umbrella drinks. And (of course) you can always find what's new on my website. ~ * ~ From Ann Cory: Happy March to everyone, and welcome new members! Spring is in the air and I couldn’t be happier. The birds are singing, squirrels are chasing each other around the trees, and I love to see the sun up earlier in the morning. Already hubby and I have planted new flowers and are making plans to spruce up the backyard. Soon we’ll be working on the garden and putting in a small pond. I can’t wait to get outside and write!

virtual red-carpet ceremony on Friday, February 15th, recognizing some of
the best in electronic romance publishing. The readers, authors, and other
industry members attending the ceremony saw many or their favorite authors,
books, and publishers honored. ~ * ~ From Shelly Laurenston: Hi, all! I'm on a desperate deadline this month, so this newsletter will be short and sweet...unlike me. I'm tall and difficult. A little update on my second dragon book. THE DISTRESSING DAMSEL has been renamed ABOUT A DRAGON and will be out in December. I wanted to make sure you guys know about the name change so you don't re-buy the book unless you really wanted to. We're also on countdown (okay, *I'm* on countdown) to the March 25th release of THE BEAST IN HIM. It's currently available for pre-order from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Okay. That's it. Back to work. Enjoy! --Shel.
