Keeping "Courtesan Time"


It's Saturday. Hit the snooze button again. We're keeping courtesan time today and those 'birds of paradise' rarely rose before noon.

My blog tour goes on, but the post won't be up until around 1 pm EST (plenty of time for you to sip your cocoa and read the tabloids looking for a juicy on dit till then!). My gracious hostess at MelangeReviews will not be posting my blog till then. Bless her heart, she's at work now, but she and I had a fun chat about ALL my books, not just my Emily Bryan stories. Seems she was a Diana Groe fan and wanted to understand more about why I made the switch from dark to light.

So I hope you'll join me this afternoon at MelangeReviews and tomorrow, the blog comes back here to my house www.emilybryan.blogspot.com where I'm sharing my prose polishing tips and answering a question from "Tourista" Jane L. If you have one that requires a longer answer, email me like Jane did! Thanks Jane.


TTYS!
Emily

PS. Of course, I'll be giving away a VEXING THE VISCOUNT to someone who leaves a comment at MelangeReviews this afternoon. Let me know you stopped by, cherie!

Enter the Mind of a Courtesan . . .

Today I'm blogging at Ellen Ashe's Blog. Be sure to check the comment section because we're doing something a little different today. I'm inviting readers to peek into the mind of the French courtesan, Blanche La Tour and then tell me what they think.

I still have 46 copies of VEXING THE VISCOUNT to give away, so be sure to post a comment or question to be entered in the daily drawing!

Enjoy!

Prepare to be boarded!


The wait is over! Today is the day. PLEASURING THE PIRATE is officially launched!

If you like a little swashbuckling, a little humor, a little sizzle with your romance, I invite you to give my PIRATE a try. Here's what the reviewers are saying:

"Bryan's touches of humor, naughty, bawdy dialogue and colorful description capture the era, adding dimension to this charming tale of a landlocked pirate, the hellion who tames him and their wild adventure. The heat rises as their escapades sizzle, and readers' hearts will race to the delightful conclusion." ~ RT BookReviews

"Pleasuring the Pirate is a fabulous, fun romp full of adventure, mischief, mayhem, romance and yes PIRATES! I simply couldn't put it down!" ~ Reviewer TOP PICK, NightOwl Romance

"Great dialog, interesting side characters (the nieces who are out of control and the crusty pirate sidekick) and an author who clearly loves her subject matter and I'm there. For me, you could call this book, Pleasuring the Reader." ~ Barbara Vey, Beyond her Book, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BLOG


"This great Georgian romance is filled with bawdy humor, mindful of Fielding’s classic Tom Jones. The banter between the pirate and the courtesan’s daughter is amusing and heated. The story line is fast-paced and never slows down." ~ Harriet Klausner

Classy Review for PLEASURING THE PIRATE!



I was floored when Paul Norman of Books Monthly said DISTRACTING THE DUCHESS was "one of those rare books that could turn into a modern classic." Now another reviewer has used the "C" word about my PLEASURING THE PIRATE!
"This great Georgian romance is filled with bawdy humor mindful of Fielding’s classic Tom Jones. The banter between the pirate and the courtesan’s daughter is amusing and heated. The story line is fast-paced and never slows down. Emily Bryan provides a powerful historical as the adventures of the pirate and the courtesan's daughter will pleasure the fans." ~ Harriet Klausner
Now I have to hope Mark Twain was wrong! He always claimed, "A classic is something everybody wants to have read, but nobody wants to read!" :)
