Snowbound Released Early!

Tomorrow was supposed to be the release day for Snowbound, but I just found out that it released a day early. How cool! This book has been a labor of, well, labor, and of love. The setting is one of my favorites — a ski resort.

For lovers of winter and/or skiing, you know what I'm talking about. The smell of snow and fir trees. The sound of boots crunching in the snow. The taste of hot cocoa and the feel of a crackling fire on your skin. The sight of a hot ski patroller who smiles at you and… oh, sorry — got a little distracted. Ahem.

Timberline Lodge on Oregon's Mt. Hood was the inspiration for the lodge in the story, and Mt. Bachelor ski resort in Bend, Oregon was the inspiration for most of the outdoor setting, with influences from the Bavarian villiage of Leavenworth, Washington.

Anyway, Snowbound is now available! If you like winter and romance and a heat level similar to what you find in Blaze novels, then you might enjoy Sean's story. You can read an excerpt here.

More fun…that has nothing to do with Snowbound — click this link to take a quiz to see how old you REALLY are. It's fun! I'm 21.4 with a life expectancy of 94. My husband, who is a major health nut, has a "real" age of 17.2. I'm convinced they're talking about his mental age, but whatever…

2. Love that cover!!! Yummy!!!

   I took that quiz and now I’m depressed which I guess will change the results I got for the worse. *g* I’m 42.8 with a life expectancy of 78.2.

3. Congrats Larissa!! I love the setting of your book (I used to work at a ski resort in Colorado).

   I took the test and I’m going to live to be 89.8. Yes, but will I still have at least a few of my marbles left?
