To have a little bit of a recap. . .
May 15, 2008
Tuesday May 13, Lisa Kleypas visited The Good, The Bad and The Unread. Fun things happened like some great questions discussing heroes and point of view and thanks for the great, wonderful, spectacular responses. There were some excerpts from Lisa's upcoming books, Seduce Me at Sunrise (can I have it now Sybil? Pretty please?) and A Wallflower Christmas. And, of course, Lisa herself was here all day! SSQQQUUEEE! Read more
LisaK Discussion Question 4
May 13, 2008
To wrap up (maybe) our discussion questions for today, an inspiration has come from Lisa's wonderful heroes. Yes, we're back to heroes, but let's face it ladies, without men in our lives things could get rather boring. Boring is not a word ever used to describe a Kleypas hero. Why is that do you suppose? Hmm. . . Read more

May 13, 2008
The publishing industry has never heard the adage, "The shortest distance between two points is a straight line."
You ever wonder what an author has to do to get from raw, unedited text to a finished product? What changes do their creations go thru? Do they have to give up really good stuff to make it work?
I'm happy you asked! We have an example of what Lisa Kleypas went thru to get from the raw, unedited Seduce Me at Sunrise (St. Martin's releases it 30 Sep 08) excerpt we posted last October to what you see below - the finished product. The process is actually quite fascinating...

Dear Friends,
This is an excerpt from Seduce Me At Sunrise, completely raw and unedited. It's the scene when Win (an invalid a la Elizabeth Barrett Browning) is leaving for a medical clinic to try to improve her health. And Merripen, who is secretly in love with her, doesn't want her to go.

Seduce Me At Sunrise by Lisa Kleypas **Sept 2008**
October 5, 2007
I thought I'd share just a little about my current work-in-progress, a historical titled "Seduce Me At Sunrise", which will be the story of Winnifred Hathaway and Merripen, the inscrutable Gypsy you first meet in "Mine Till Midnight."
Win has been an invalid ever since she suffered a near-fatal case of scarlet fever. Merripen is a tall, dark Romany Gypsy who was taken in by the Hathaway family when he was a boy. He has always kept his fierce passion for Win a secret, believing a romantic relationship would never be possible.
But Win goes to an exclusive clinic, far away from Merripen and the rest of her family, and makes a remarkable recovery. And when she returns two years later, a changed woman, the explosive passion between these long-denied lovers threatens their family, their future, and even their lives . . .
