Happy October Eve!

Just a quick (but fun!) e-shout with some breaking news!

1) I’ve just posted my first blog for Huffington Post Gay Voices.

It’s a fun little glimpse into life with my family called “(Really Good) Sh*t My Mom Says (About Her Gay Grandson).”

Check it out at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/suzanne-brockmann/really-good-sh-t-my-mom-says-about-her-gay-grandson_b_4006570.html?utm_hp_ref=gay-voices

Many of you have met my mom — she’s really terrific, and she really loves all of her grandchildren! I think you’ll like the blog!

FYI: I’ll be blogging more for Huffington Post over the next few months, as we approach the release date for my LGBT rom-com movie, THE PERFECT WEDDING, which brings me to…

2) Pre-ordering for the DVD of THE PERFECT WEDDING is open on our distributor Wolfe Releasing’s website. (We’re currently #2 on their list of bestselling gay movies!)

The DVDs will be shipped on December 3rd — you’ll receive yours in plenty of time for the holidays.

The movie is set during a family holiday gathering, and features not only our own Jason T. Gaffney (who co-wrote the script with me!) as Gavin, one of the romantic leads, but also Kristine Sutherland (Joyce Summers, aka Buffy’s mom from BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) and James Reborn (Carrie’s dad from HOMELAND) as the parents of Jace’s love interest Paul (played by the very delicious Eric Aragon).

Here’s the link to the DVD pre-order page:

Or check out the dynamic new DVD cover art at our website, at www.ThePerfectWeddingMovie.com

3) Reissue Issues: STAND-IN GROOM, and SCENES OF PASSION

3a) My book, STAND-IN GROOM, a romantic comedy originally published by Bantam Loveswept, will be available during the entire month of October as a specially low-priced e-book, as part of a promotion on Amazon. So if you’re looking to fill out your Brockmann backlist collection, now’s the time!

3b) SCENES OF PASSION, my community-theatre-set rom-com (originally published by Silhouette Desire) is being reissued in a 2-in-1 called PASSION AND PERIL, along with a brand new story called SCENES OF PERIL by the one-and-only Jill Sorenson. (If you’re unfamiliar with Jill, this is an opportunity to check her out!) This book goes on sale 11/26/13.

(Watch for Jill and me to do a little promo for this book in the next few weeks!)

4) New books: The cover blurb for DO OR DIE, the first book in a new romantic suspense series called “Reluctant Heroes,” is up on my website. The “Reluctant Heroes” series is set in my Troubleshooters world, and features quite a few cross-over characters. Martell Griffin (FORCE OF NATURE) plays a major role, as do Jules Cassidy’s FBI teammates Deb and Yashi. TS lovers should feel right at home. DO OR DIE goes on sale in hardcover and e-book from Ballantine Books and in audio from AudioGo on February 4, 2014.

5) As of right now, I’m planning to set up my usual virtual signing for DO OR DIE, as well as hit the road for a bunch of appearances. I’ve got the Romantic Times Convention in May in New Orleans on my “must visit” list. (I’ll be sitting on several panels about LGBTQ characters and themes in romance novels!) I’m also planning to attend RWA’s National conference in San Antonio, Texas in July. And right now I’m squinting at BEA in NYC at the end of May. Watch my website appearances page for details as the coming new year approaches…

6) ICYMI (in case you missed it): I’ve done a big of blogging lately.

I wrote a long piece in celebration of my twenty-year anniversary as a romance writer for the Read-A-Romance Month website: http://www.readaromancemonth.com/2013/08/day-26-suzanne-brockmann-embracing-the-other/
