Funny story! Any of you guys writing paranormals?? Sounds like a great premise for a very funny potential novel! We all should be so lucky... I wonder what the dog thought of it all. :P

News of the moment...

Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:15:45 -0500

Hello again! Swinging by to tell you that tomorrow - Thursday, April 12 - and Saturday, April 14, I'm hosting The Ballroom Blog. For the Thursday post my theme is "Don't Tell Them They're Secondary Characters," and as for Saturday, it's a surprise, but if you like to laugh, don't miss it. Meanwhile, the book trailer video for The Lost Heir is ready! For more info, see my kidlit website, www.EGFoley.com But for now...feast your eyes! xo, Gaelen

My Irresistible Earl just $1.99 - during April only!

Tue, 03 Apr 2012 13:01:46 -0500

The $1.99 sale on select Earl titles from Avon is now live - including Book 3 of the Inferno Club - My Irresistible Earl! If you missed it, this is a great chance to snap it up. You can also gift it to reader friends through online retailers. This book is currently up for the Romantic Times' Reviewers' Choice Award for Best Historical Romantic Adventure of the Year, and here's areview for the book from Fresh Fiction:

"Foley raises sensuality to new heights as she continues the overarching storyline that ties the three books of the Inferno Club series together, while exploring the main love story between Mara and Jordan.

The book's historical setting is well-utilized, particularly the uproar of protests and unrest following the end of the war. Flashbacks to the house party where Jordan and Mara met twelve years prior to the main story line are also handled well, enriching the present-day encounters.

The plot is tightly written with intriguing twists and turns leading to an amazing and thunderous conclusion. I particularly love that all Gaelen Foley's heroines, no matter how ladylike and untried some of them appear to be at the start of the story end up as major players in the conflicts with the Prometheans. MY IRRESISTIBLE EARL is book three of the series, and I think the best yet."—Diana Troldahl, Fresh Fiction

Enjoy!

MY SCANDALOUS VISCOUNT ~
Coming OCTOBER 2012!!

Dear Readers, I'm so happy to show you the gorgeous cover that Avon has designed for my October 2012 release, MY SCANDALOUS VISCOUNT, Book 5 of the Inferno Club series, Beau & Carissa's story. The rakehell and the "lady of information"! I can't wait to share this story with you this autumn. Click here to read the back cover copy and get the inside scoop on upcoming Inferno books.

I just completed a pretty extensive website update, so please visit www.GaelenFoley.com to find out about the exciting things coming up, like the $1.99 sale on select "Earl" titled e-books from Avon all month long in April. If you have not yet read MY IRRESISTIBLE EARL (Inferno Book #3) or have been tryingn to get a reader friend to try my books, this is a great chance to snag a copy at this very low, temporary price. I've also posted four new beautiful international editions on my Home page, not to be missed!

Also not to be missed is my Major Announcement that I'm branching out into children's literature this summer! Fun for the whole family. :) I'm co-writing these books with my husband, who teaches kids in this age group.

The Gryphon Chronicles, Book 1: THE LOST HEIR is a historical fantasy adventure (with a hint of steampunk!) for ages 10 to 110.

We're writing this series as E.G. Foley to keep it separate from the romance, and the books will be available as ebooks as well as trade paperbacks. Visit my Children's Literature page on my main website, or see the www.EGFoley.com website for more info.

This is a PG-rated book you can enjoy with your kids. The exact on-sale date is soon to be announced. I sure hope you'll check this one out, too!

Until next time!
Gaelen :)

Dallas Fort Worth Appearance Canceled

Sat, 21 Jan 2012 13:45:38 -0500

I'm sad to report that my scheduled appearance at the Dallas Fort Worth Reader Tea in Plano, TX at Chocolate Angel is cancelled due to an icestorm in western PA that brought "extremely dangerous travel conditions" to the entire region. Everything was covered in ice, with snow on top of that. Storm started last night and went through late morning. Treacherous out there in the pre-dawn hours when I was trying to drive to the airport. Had to turn around and come home.

Very sorry I won't get to meet you, TX readers. Thanks to Fresh Fiction for inviting me. You guys are the best. Have the champagne toast without me! (sniff) For those going, the event itself is still on. The wonderful Laura Lee Gurkhe is still slated to attend, and you may _possibly_ get to see some surprise authors showing up there to greet readers in my place.
