release the balloons!

Are you ready with the confetti?  How about the cake?  Someone brought cake, right?  Oh, good.  Because what’s a party without cake?

What am I celebrating, you say?  Well, if you have to ask, you’re obviously new around here.  That’s okay, we saved a slice of cake for you.  I’m celebrating because it is *finally* April 3^rd, and that means that *finally* If I Fall is on the shelves!  I am so excited to be able to share the story of Sarah Forrester (last seen getting her heart broken in Follow My Lead) and her childhood friend Lieutenant Jackson Fletcher.  Oh, there are some other people in there, too.  Some infamous spies, some Burmese aristocrats, some French counts, some society busy bodies.  But at it’s core, it’s a bout Jack and Sarah, figuring out that they are the ones who will be there to catch the other when they fall.

Appetite whetted yet?  Why not read an excerpt before you order your copy?  How about the juicy Noble Notes, that offer an inside peek as to the behind the scenes research of writing If I Fall.

But, you may ask, does this book release warrant both confetti and cake?  That seems a bit excessive for one measly little book, doesn’t it?  Well, it’s not just one measly little book (and I take umbrage at you calling any work of over 100,000 words “measly”) – it’s two!  Not only does If I Fall come out today, but so does my special e-novella, The Dress of the Season!

The Dress of the Season is about Harris Dane, Viscount Osterley, who orders a scandalously dress for a woman he wishes to woo – but it accidentally (along with his affectionate note) ends up being delivered to his ward, Miss Felicity Grove!  And that’s only the first mix-up, that forces these two stubborn people to see each other with new – and more appreciative – eyes.  Love always seems to be in the last place you look.

The Dress of the Season is available on an e-reader near you now, and its book page also features a wonderfully funny excerpt and some interesting Noble Notes.

To truly celebrate today, I’m kicking the blog tour into high gear!  Today, I’ll be visiting with RomConInc, talking about those first crushes that wake us up to Romance — just like the crush Sarah used to have on the Blue Raven…

Not enough to justify the mess of confetti, you say?  Well, how’s this:  I have just posted a brand new website contest!  The prize this time is my ENTIRE autographed backlist, plus, a $25 gift card from Amazon, so you can complete your Kate Noble collection.

Okay, I’m going to go bite into some fabulous cake now.  I’m starving.  I know I say it often, but this time I truly mean it, kids:  Happy Reading, everyone!

Today, I am touring around the internets, setting of on a fantastic voyage through space and time, visiting various ports of bloggerdom to let everyone know that TOMORROW, If I Fall hits the shelves!  (And The Dress of the Season hits the virtual shelves!)  Today, I’m making two stops:  At Coffee Time Romance, for a latte and an interview, and at The Booksmugglers, where I talk about my inspirations and influences, and how much I cribbed from The Princess Bride and Indiana Jones.  (Psst: at one of these events, there will even be a giveaway!)

So kick back, stop on by, and enjoy the ride with me!  It’s almost April 3rd, and If I Fall is almost here!

Hello!  Just a quick word to let you know that I’ll be visiting the fabulous Mandi at Smexybooks today!  I am a big fan of the smexy, as Mandi well knows.  We talk about romance, coming home again, and of course, If I Fall and The Dress of the Season.

This marks the wonderful beginning of my If I Fall Blog Tour!  I’ll be visiting several of my favorite places, as well as some wonderful new ones.  You can find out where I’ll be (and where I’ll sometimes be doing giveaways!) under Kate’s Events!

And don’t forget about my website contest!  There is still time left to win your choice of my backlisted books.  Until later, sweets — Happy Reading!
