Holly Jacobs, Ask the Author #2—"Why so many series?"


It's time for another Ask the Author!!  
Today's question, "Why so many series?"

When you're done, if you'd like a list of all my series in order, you can find it at my website!

Spring into a new book!!

2016 is starting out with a bang!! In February, an anthology of my short stories came out! Short Stories for the Overworked and Under-Read!  The title is sort of a lie...there are five short stories and one novella actually!  Yeah, now you know how I am!


And this month, A Day Late and a Bride Short finally came out as an eBook! This is an award winning  story! And let's face it, finding a way to make a marriage-of-convenience work in a contemporary romance was tough...but I'm so happy with the way it all worked out for Sarah and Donovan!

Next up, in time for Mother's Day, is A Simple Heart.  It's set in Cupid Falls...if you've read Christmas in Cupid Falls you know the town.  If you haven't, that's okay.  The novella stands alone.  


And finally, coming in time for some beach reading...I Waxed My Legs for This? is finally out as an eBook!  What's a girl to do when she can stand pulling the wax off her legs herself??  Call a friend...a super hot, best friend who rides to her rescue on a regular basis.  Things will be heating up on the beach for Carrie and Jack!

Rumor has it there's a few more new books and rereleases coming this year.  I'll keep you all posted!

As always, thank you!!  Hope you're enjoying the change of seasons! I've been walking more than I manage in the winter.  I love that I'm hearing more birds and seeing our first flowers popping up all over!!

Happy Spring!

Holly

A Day Late and a Bride Short
Donovan is an attorney on the rise. He's next in line for a partnership at his law firm. There's just one item missing from his resume...a wife. 

Sarah is trying to get her fledgling business off the ground. She's looking for an attorney to help recoup the money she's owed. Money that could mean the difference between a successful business and scrapping her dream. She is absolutely NOT looking for a fiance, much less a husband. But when Donovan offers Sarah an engagement-of-convenience, she lets herself get persuaded it's just business. 

Donovan and Sarah both discover when love enters the picture, their engagement isn't convenient in the least!

Holly Jacobs' March Newsletter










New Release:
A Day Late and a Bride Short!

I'm so excited that A Day Late and a Bride Short is finally going to be available as an eBook!  I'm using "Holly Jacobs'Classic" just to let you know this is one of my earliest stories. Thank you everyone who's asked to have it available for their devices.

Thirteen years ago, when I sent this proposal to my editor, she sent me back a note from the Senior Editor saying that with that title, she'd expected a marriage of convenience story.  My original idea wasn't that at all, but as a very newish author, I said, "That's exactly what it will be."  My editor bought the proposal.

It wasn't quite the story I intended to tell and to be honest, I wasn't sure how to write a contemporary marriage of convenience.  As someone who's been married for many years—someone who is still wildly in love with her husband—I have to confess, marriage isn't always convenient!

I hope you enjoy Sarah and Donovan's romance! Thanks so much and happy reading!

And keep an eye out for my new Cupid Falls novella, A Simple Heart, followed by I Waxed My Legs for This?

I hope you're getting ready for spring! I've got tomatoes started on the counter and I'm binging on seed catalogs here!
