Lots of good news!!





The cover was finalized for Two for the Show. I think Ann Phillips, Blue Feather's graphic artist, kicked butt! We've signed off on the PDF. It was uploaded at the printer and Jane has told me the galley proof looks great! Soooooo... look for a release announcement hopefully later this week from Emily Reed, my publisher.

Also, April 13, I had the pleasure of having Come Back to Me reviewed by Pamela Bigelow of Lambda Literary Reviews. Here's a little of what she had to say:

"Chris Paynter’s second book, Come Back to Me (Blue Feather) is well-written, with an interesting setting, and characters any reader can care for. Her pacing keeps the story flowing. Even though the reader may know what’s coming, there are enough twists and turns to keep the reader in the story until the end of the book."

For the complete review, please visit Lambda Literary.org's website at this link: http://www.lambdaliterary.org/reviews/04/13/come-back-to-me-chris-paynter/.


AND, just today, I received the news that Come Back to Me was voted by Lesbian Fiction Readers Choice Award members as one of the Top 5 Favorite Romances for 2010.















I'm definitely floating around here and simultaneously doing my Snoopy happy dance.


Speaking of beagles, Buddy the Wonder Dog has lost five pounds since his last visit! He still has about eight pounds to go, but he's lookin' good! We were very glad to see him after our trip to Cleveland this past weekend for the Easter holiday. It's nice to visit Phyllis's family, but it's always good to get back home.


I'll be back soon with the announcement of the release of Two for the Show.
