Captain's Log, Stardate 03.13.2006 Multi-published Tamara Leigh has shifted from Medieval romances to chick-lit! Her newest book is STEALING ADDA published by NavPress. It had been a long time since New York Times best-selling author -- and historical romance writer extraordinaire -- Adda Sinclaire had experienced more than a fictional dose of romance, but when publisher Nick Farnsworth walks into her life, everything changes. Life for Adda ironically reads more like a country song than a bodice-bursting, breathless affair. For starters, she has no actual romance in her life.

But I have to ask--he opened your box instead of letting you do it???
That's so cool!
BTW, my review copy arrived on Friday. :-)
Congrats on your first shipment of your first published books--the first of many to come!
I loved the dedication--that line was about as sweet as any romance I've read!
Wasabi!
I just got my copy as well, and I think I scared the people in the post office when I ripped it open and screamed for joy.
I'm halfway into your novel and HAD to go out for Shushi tonight. You make me miss San Jose! :-( I totally relate to your characters and am cracking up so much!
We have been talking about your book on Shelfari on Trisha Goyer's group.
Can't wait to do your tours on FIRST and CFBA.

I just got my copy of Sushi for One about an hour ago (for CFBA) and I think what I'm going to do is read it on the plane when I go to Korea. I leave Aug. 22 and it's a mighty long flight, so I'll need something to read!
That's a lot of boxes? Newbie question: Is that typical? How many copies is that?
It varies from house to house. Some places, you get less books, some places, you get more. I got quite a lot, plus I bought 2 more boxes of books at my author cost (about 50% off, plus shipping) to sell at conferences (I can't sell the free author copies).

She told me she was expecting them and I thought she wanted to know when they arrived.
But hey...I left the other 4 boxes for her to open! :)
Congratulations on your book! I'm grabbing my cup of tea and settling back in my chair to start reading.
