Day 3 - Possible Release Date?
I apologize for not blogging earlier today. It was a crazy Monday, and after I got back from work, my husband and I went on our annual anniversary dinner. We made it a double-celebration and toasted my sale as well.
Yesterday’s winner of Ex and the Single Girl was comment #6 . . . Christy King! Christy, e-mail me your address and I’ll put your book in the mail.
Today’s giveaway is a copy of On a Highland Shore by Kathleen Givens. Just post a comment and you’re entered in the prize drawing!
Today I received the art facts sheet and I learned that they will be creating a new title for my book instead of His Chosen Bride. My husband and I were brainstorming titles, and inevitably you start coming up with inappropriate ones. I think my favorite was: “I Didn’t Want to Marry You, but You Stole My Land.” 
Somehow, I don’t think that one will fly with the editorial staff.
It looks like we might have a potential release date of May 2007. So exciting! 
I’m hoping this will go through smoothly, and I can’t wait to see what kind of cover art is created. The art department at Harlequin Historicals has come up with some amazing covers.
Just for kicks, does anyone have ideas for a title? Maybe something with Irish Warrior in it? Or, you could come up with silly titles, too. That’s always fun. Either way, I’d love to know your thoughts!

Hooray on a possible release date!
I wouldn’t worry about titles. The Powers That Be have come up with some very good ones for me.
And AFS can be fun to fill in…
Melissa Mc Says:
Titles. Hmm. I’ve learned not to get attached to them. Of course for my release next year I used a basic working title “Marriage for Baby” and they kept it!
Cool on the possible release date. You’ll be able to sign at the RWA literacy conference!
Allison Littlehales Says:
OMG! May? It’s comming out in MAY?
That’s fantastic, Michelle that’s so soon!
Go you!
Sue aka MsCreativity Says:
As for the title, I wish I could come up with a suggestion but I’m hopeless. (I like Sharon’s, ‘The Irish Warrior’s Bride’)
LOL at Suzanne’s suggestions!!

I admit, I don’t read many historicals, but this one is the top of my “to buy” list in May (yes, I have a to buy list by month) so let us know if it changes!
And Happy International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

I would suggest a title, but spackle wasn’t invented yet…
Happy Anniversary, Michelle! And I’m really looking forward to May!!
chris Keach Says:
Wow, May is so close!!! I hope it all works out for you and I can’t wait to pick it up. Oh, and I really think you should stick with your titl “I didn’t want to marry you,, but you stole my land.” I think that’s a keeper. :)~
