Only 3 MORE DAYS!!! until you can get your hands on a copy of KNOCK ME FOR A LOOP!
And so I give you Zack & Bruiser. (Well, you know, if this were a Saint Bernard. But it’s close, so use your imagination.

Thoughts from bestselling, award-winning romance author Heidi Betts (and her alter-ego, Mistress Heidi) on her Works-in-Progress and the many links in the chain that keeps her shackled to her desk until each new project is polished and complete. |

Oh Yummy!!! Wasn’t he Samantha’s boyfriend in Sex in the City when it was on HBO? I remember he had a really nice ass. lol.
OooOOOooohhh…that blond can come hang out with me anytime.
Just what I needed to warm me up on a cold/snowy day. awwwwwwwww……
Hey, Danielle, congrats—you snagged the Golden Halo this morning & get to be our resident Good Girl all day long.
Well, this guy certainly takes me to a happy place, but we’ve got some issues that are making me a not-very-happy camper. And I need your help more than ever.
First, skim this article: http://tinyurl.com/yab5jhz
This is why KNOCK ME FOR A LOOP is showing up as unavailable for pre-order at Amazon.
And with only 2 days left till it’s release, too. This is so not good.
So I’ve got a favor to ask of everyone… If you were planning to pre-order or even simply order your copy of KNOCK online, PLEASE still do so. Simply use BN.com, Borders, Books a Million, or that sort of site instead. And if you were simply going to run out next week to pick up a copy in person, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE still do that!!!!
Now that Amazon is a no-go for us, it’s even more important to make up for those lost sales & show St. Martin’s, Amazon—everyone!—that you won’t let a little thing like a pricing dispute keep you from Zack & Grace.
And last but not least, if you could encourage all of your readers friends—thru your blogs, listservs, online meeting places, & old Ma Bell—to do the same, that would be terrific.
Thank you, thank you, My Darlings. With a little patience & more than a few prayers, we’ll get thru this together, right?
how dare they!!!!
We’ll show them!!! grrrr…..
and thank you for the hunk!!! He sure is a hottie!!!
Now thats how I pictured Zack. I ordered my copy of Knock me for a Loop at Amazon. They shipped out my order today. I know I paid full retail for the book, but I don’t care it’s worth every penny. I do hope things smooth out soon.
Oh Heidi!!! How horrible. I am buying my copy next weekend when I get paid again. I will be telling the CTR group about the amazon thing.
Did you get my email Heidi? Err…I think I sent two because I am a ditz and can never remember everything in one email.
P.S. I put your link on my profile page of Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/#/Danielle.Reviewer4CTR?ref=profile
Danielle, I thought it was him too!
I’m so sorry to hear about Amazon…I will be getting it when I go to spend my B&N giftcard from Christmas or on my next book shopping spree.
I’ll be there on release day, at my local B&N, please do believe. And I’ve written everyone involved and sent them some major shame on you for their petty dispute. I also made sure to remind them that they’re screwing the authors and the readers and especially…THE AUTHORS. Also, I let Amazon know I was going to purchase KNOCK and now they lost that sale. And that I’m a customer who purchased more than 100 books in the last ten months (that’s true!) I also wrote St. Martins Press and told them to work it out because they’re SCREWING THEIR AUTHORS over stupid pricing UGH.
I’m behind you 100% Heidi, and Knock is too good to go unnoticed. We’ll make this an awesome release, but mostly it will be awesome because of YOU because you’re awesome, your books are awesome..I could go on at length. And you certainly don’t deserve to have your release messed up by this. So crack open the champagne anyway and we’ll get to work!
Woohoo! Way to go Maisey!
P.S. Maisey I loved your blog about book wall bangers. Just wanted to say.
Aw, you guys are great. I’m really not letting this upset me too much cuz there’s nothing I can do about it. Just hoping it gets cleared up soon. What I am trying to do is make sure folks know what’s going on & that there are other ways they can get the book ASAP. IOW, don’t just sit there waiting for Amazon to get its sh*t together…order from another site or run out to the mall one day this week!
Pass it on!
Thanks, Danielle! ;-)And none of Heidi’s books have ever committed a wall banging offense.
I have a friend who saids he’s buying two copies of knock when it comes out and she’s asking her fellow RWA members to do the same. I will be buying it (one I’m afraid, but I’m broke!) On release day from B&N.
