It’s the release day for my short story THE LADY’S SCANDALOUS NIGHT from Harlequin Historical Undone. The tale takes place in parallel with THE DRAGON AND THE PEARL. I’m blogging about my inspiration behind the story and doing a giveaway over at The Ruby-Slippered Sisterhood.
Wow, I haven’t had a release day in nearly a year. I forgot about all those lessons learned like don’t schedule a bunch of other “to-dos” around release days like online workshops or incubating twins….

It’s here! It’s finally here!
Introducing the cover for my September 1 release (less than two weeks away!) from Harlequin Historical Undone:
I must say, of all my covers, this is the one that made me blush a little. All that scandal.

The cover for THE TAMING OF MEI LIN (excerpt), my September Undone release is here! First of all it’s gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. The colors are beautiful and the backdrop is sweeping.
Let the cover kibitz begin:
- I think the hero looks a bit like Daniel Dae Kim from Lost, don’t you? I do love a nice strong jawline.
- Time period: the clothing and hair isn’t Tang Dynasty. They had to take some liberties with that. The Undones are digitally published and so they create the covers from the Harlequin art bank, which leads me to the best part of the cover…
- The heroine and hero may look very familiar because they also graced the cover of my favorite Harlequin Blaze, THE CONCUBINE by Jade Lee. Perhaps her lovers had met before in a previous life hundreds of years earlier in the Tang Dynasty? They were simply fated to meet again and fall in love eternally…
Cover models get reused all the time. I’m just tickled pink that Jade’s models reappear on my cover. I’ll always associate them with THE CONCUBINE, which is sitting proudly on my keeper shelf.

I always know what time it is in the UK. At least, I know when 5pm hits over there and the business day is over. That block from when I wake up to about noon is when I wait eagerly for news…if there’s any wait-worthy news on the pipeline…which there usually is.
In any case, I woke up this morning to a wonderful surprise. The powers that be have decided to rename my Harlequin Undone short from “Warrior Bride” to “The Taming of Mei Lin”. The Undone line is e-published, with a possibility of later going print in an anthology. The title is the main selling point for Undones and the powers wanted something that reflected both the sensuality and the Asian setting.
I’m quite thrilled! The Taming of Mei Lin also has the added benefit of referencing The Taming of the Shrew. Hee hee…which actually works quite well here. I wish I had thought of it.
Mei Lin is the feisty counterpart to Ai Li, the heroine of Butterfly Swords. You’ll have to look carefully for Mei Lin’s appearance in the longer novel.
