Author Kristina Cook is giving us new reads with her new pen name, Kristi Astor, under which she will write Edwardian-set romances hotter than her previous Regency-set titles. And now with two psuedonyms she’s busier than ever.

~ February 2009 will see the release of the Kensington anthology Lords of Desire in trade size paperback, which includes Astor’s novella Swept Away. Virginia Henley, Sally MacKenzie, and Victoria Dahl are also featured.

~ Her first Edwardian-set single-title, tentatively titled A Grand Affair, will be released in March 2009 in mass-market paperback by Zebra Books.

~ In November 2009 Astor will see her first erotic romance title for Harlequin Spice entitled Lover’s Dawn in the winter solstice-themed anthology Winter’s Desire, along with Charlotte Featherstone and Amanda McIntyre. This anthology includes three historical novellas.

~ Under her Kristina Cook name, in September 2009 her first Harlequin NASCAR book will be released. It’s still untitled, but we’ll keep you posted.

Consider yourself flashed.
