A few orders of business...

Sorry I've been lax in the updating lately. Not that it's anything new, but life is a bit insane. Edits are going pretty well, new scenes are popping up, plus, I'm headed up to Seattle on Sunday, so lots of preparation is needed for that. I really need to finish this outline so I can have a couple of people look it over for me, and yet today was spent mainly in errands and picking my sister up from the airport.

Most importantly of all, though, I could not spend another day without telling you about the release of Isabelle Santiago's double-novella, Cinematic Royalty and Dark Hollywood Nights, now available at Freya's Bower, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble!



Cinematic Royalty

Charles Witmore is used to celebrities. As owner of the grand Winmont Hotel in Los Angeles, he has seen them come and go more times than he can count. But the experience is altogether different when silver screen starlet Bridget Phillips walks into his life and crashes into his heart. He's absolutely starstruck. Her beauty is exactly as majestic as has been rumored, but he wonders about the many claims laid against the woman, who seems to be so shrouded in mystery.

Initially claimed by prejudice, he sees nothing more than the ice princess she presents, beautiful and stone cold. But, the more time she spends at his hotel, the more he begins to see there is more to her facade than meets the eye. Soon, she becomes the object of his affection, and in an amusing ploy, his two best friends, Betty and Eleanor, and his cute assistant Tessa, set up the matchmaking scheme of a lifetime.

But will Bridget's dark secret keep Charles from his happily ever after?

Dark Hollywood Nights

Alexis Grant's only job is to keep the prestigious Winmont Hotel running smoothly while her cousin, Charles Witmore, enjoys his honeymoon. The only problem: things begin to fall apart the moment he leaves. The pompous Chase Branton, who's determined to get access to one of her off limits celebrity clients, doesn't help. Can she keep it together long enough to earn a managerial position of her own, or will a high profile death cause all of her dreams to shatter?

As a personal note, if you've ever wanted to get sucked into a black and white movie with Katherine Hepburn or Cary Grant... here's your chance, ladies and gents. The period is so beautifully recreated in these novellas, and everywhere you look are lively, funny, sexy, smouldery, wonderful characters. Don't miss this one!
