Perfect Hero is released!

Ellora's Cave has released my Wild Winter Quickie by Cricke Starr, Perfect Hero. This is a major expansion of a short story I wrote a few years ago as a gift to our Ellora's Cave fans.

This makes the fourth Christmas story I've done and the third for Ellora's Cave. I decided to make a cool little animated gif to celebrate these holday titles, including the cool cover of White Hot Holidays Volume 1, the print book containing Ghosts Of Christmas Past.

This is what my EPPIE looks like

EPPIE WINNER!

I am simply thrilled that ALL NIGHT INN has won the 2006 EPPIE for Best Fantasy/Paranormal Romance Novel! The awards were announced Saturday night and I just got official confirmation today, although several friends emailed me yesterday about it.

Last night I called my son and told him to go to the EPIC url where there was a picture of the award. I then told him to imagine it said "2006" and that where the author's name was it was "Janet Miller"... He burst out laughing and congratulated me.

Cheers!
