Welcome to the Book and Author News blog. On this site you’ll find the latest news about some of your favorite authors. Drop in from time to time or sign up for our weekly feeds to keep in touch. As the web designer and e-newsletter manager for a number of bestselling authors, I’m usually the second person who knows about what’s happening with my clients—they send me information to post on their websites or longer messages to go out with their newsletters every few months. But many people wanted a way to have the latest news delivered to them more often. So the idea of Book and Author News was born. Let’s get started with a Valentine’s Day first delivery.
