A little extra exciting update & a book giveaway!

I'm back again with some very exciting news - I'm beyond thrilled to be able to tell you that Ruthless Boss, Royal Mistress hit the USA TODAY Bestseller list for the week ending 3 Jan 2010!!!

This is a huge deal to me and I am very excited - it's such a buzz to see my name on a list with some absolutely amazing authors - I still can't believe it!!!

Thank you to all of you who bought this book - I hope you enjoyed it.

Anyway, I best get back to business and finish the next story before that fiendish deadline strikes...

PS: EDITED TO ADD:

In my excitement I forgot that I've just received my copies of To Love, Honour & Disobey - so to celebrate the USA TODAY listing, I'll run a spontaneous competition now - leave a comment or email me to be in to win a signed copy of both To Love, Honour & Disobey AND the bestselling Ruthless Boss, Royal Mistress!
You can comment from anywhere in the world and I'll draw a week today - Sunday 17 Jan (NZ time).

How exciting! You must be running around the house shrieking :-)

I've just read Marion Lennox's book in the Royal House of Karedes series (I'm a bit behind!!) and it's really hooked me. Will now have to search out the books I've missed.

Good luck with your Feb release.

Congrats on the USA Bestsellers list, Natalie!

Love the first chapter of To Love, Honour and Disobey.I really like reunion stories especially when something has caused them to be separated.

Stephanie said...

Yeah, congrats on being the USA bestsellers list, Natalie! There was an article on stuff.co.nz about it yesterday - don't know if you saw it or not.

Jackie Ashenden said...

And not surprised 'cos it's a fab book. Just finished To Love, Honour, and Disobey too and LOVED it.
Anyhoo, don't put me on the list 'cos as you can probably tell, I've already got it. :-)

Laney4 said...

Hi!
Heartfelt congrats on your great news! Although I'm not an author, I can imagine what it must be like to "be on the same page" as fellow authors to whom you've always looked up. What a lovely stage in life for enjoying at this moment. DO enjoy these moments, and let's hope there are plenty more joyous occasions like this throughout a long writing career.
I also wanted to remark on how you said we could comment from anywhere in the world. THAT is pretty cool. Quite often I see "only in the US" or "sorry, no international entries". Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Finally, thanks for writing such great books. Keep up the good work! YOU keep writing and I'LL keep reading. Deal?

CONGRATULATIONS - WELL DESERVED!

Just think how proud your little ones are going to be when they grow up. I can just imagine 'show and tell' in class. Brilliant.

Here's to the next number one!

I always love to hear about someone new (to me!) and I have just got to your site by way of the Pink Heart Society blog today.

I used to have a pen pal in New Zealand when I was a young girl, and my parents travelled there with a farm group years ago. Then a friend took a February holiday to NZ a couple of years ago, so I truly feel a Canada-New Zealand connection exists!

Would love to read your books, so please enter me in your draw:

Natalie, I'm so pleased for you. I loved the book, talk about steamy and sensual. I ordered an extra copy which I'll be giving away next month on Marilyn's Romance Reviews and my review is now posted.

Congrats again on your USA today Bestseller, you're so deserving.
