February News

Lots of fun stuff happening in February! I have a new blog and I'd love you to drop by and visit. To celebrate its launch, I'm giving away a copy of What Happens in Charleston... as well as two other February Desires by fabulous downunder authors: The Wayward Son by Yvonne Lindsay, and Bed of Lies by Paula Roe. Just visit and leave a comment to go into the draw!

Also, the Desire authors have banded together to launch a brand new group blog, called The Desire Author Blog. Lots of great authors and occasional free books.

I've discoverd that What Happens in Charleston will be released in Australia and New Zealand in March in a duo with Barbara Dunlop's A Cowboy in Manhattan. Look for the cowboy cover!

January News

The DYNASTIES: THE KINCAIDS series is here! The first book, Sex, Lies and the Southern Belle is on US shelves now and will be on Australian shelves in February.

Next up is my What Happens in Charleston... which releases in the US in February. I loved spending time with Matthew Kincaid and Susannah Parrish, as well as all the other members of the Kincaid bunch. And little Flynn Kincaid, Matthew's son, stole my heart.

One of the most fun aspects of writing this book was working with the other five authors - we had a ball as we plotted out the details that ran through all six stories. Can't wait to read all the final books!


October News

Return of the Secret Heir is on the shelves in the US (Next month in Australia & New Zealand). It's had some lovely reviews, including from Cataromance who said:

Rachel Bailey certainly disproves the old adage that lightning never strikes twice in the same place with Return of the Secret Heir. Pia's and JT's desire for each other certainly would rival the strongest storm but even with the passage of time, the storm was still capable of lightning strikes. Pia is an incredible woman, filled with honor and integrity.

JT was equally as amazing as he sets out to show he is a responsible man. Their love is to die for. Pick up Return of the Secret Heir and be prepared to be amazed at the depth of romance their relationship has. Kudos to Rachel Bailey for penning such a compelling tale with Return of the Secret Heir.


September News

Getting excited about the release next month of Return of the Secret Heir. It received 4.5 stars from Romantic Times Magazine!

Also, I'm not long home from RWAustralia's annual conference - this year it was Melbourne. Had a *fabulous* time, and was on a panel with my fellow LoveCat bloggers talking about what we learned in the first few years of being published.


April News

I've been a little quiet as I work on my Dynasties: The Kincaids book. This one has been heaps of fun because there are six authors and an editor all brainstorming aspects of the overarching plot. My book is the second one in the series and my hero is Matthew Kincaid, a widower with a three-year-old son, Flynn, and the woman who was the surrogate for his son, Susannah Parrish.

The other authors writing books in the Kincaids continuity are Kathie DeNosky, Jennifer Lewis, Heidi Betts, Tessa Radly and Day Leclaire. I'm thrilled to be working with them!
