Hello! It’s Jaunty P. Quills, Porcupine Extraordinaire making an unscheduled visit here. It’s Shana’s day to blog, but who cares! (Okay, okay, Shana!) Shana says that if you care, her blog is below. (Happy now?)

We Jaunty Quills are celebrating big today. We have 3 big announcements!

Drum roll, please. Seriously, do a drumroll on your desk. I’ll wait.

First of all, congrats to our own Jess Michaels (aka Jenna Petersen) who has made Lifetime’s Hottest Romance Books of 2007 with Everything Forbidden. Lifetime says “Michaels turns a deliciously erotic phrase in this sexy romance that pushes sensual boundaries just a blissful tad.” Go, Jenna! (Can I have some bark now?)

Secondly, two of our Quills have been nominated for the Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Awards. Robyn DeHart is nominated in the Historical Romantic Mystery/Gothic category for Tempted at Every Turn. I hope you win it, Robyn (then maybe she’ll give me those pine nuts she promised).

Shana Galen is nominated in the Historical Love and Laughter category for Blackthorne’s Bride. Avon authors pretty much swept that category, but we’re still rooting for Shana (she promised me acorns if I said that).

Okay, time for the big finish.

2-4-6-8, who do we appreciate?
Jaunty!
P.!
Quills!
