VOLUME 9 ISSUE 12 DECEMBER 2009 I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I want to thank all of you who sent Christmas cards or sent emails wishing me the best for the Holidays. I m hoping everyone s New Year is filled with plenty of happiness and love. I sent out an e-blast a few days ago announcing the release of Wrapped in Pleasure. Since then I ve received a number of emails asking if this book contain a new story or are the two stories reprints of previously books. WRAPPED IN PLEASURE IS A NEW BOOK AND INCLUDES A NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED STORY. The title of the story is Seduced by a Stranger and features Rasheed Valdemon from the Madaris Family and Friends Series. Rasheed was first seen in Fire and Desire and again in Unfinished Business. And as a bonus, I asked my publisher to include Delaney s Desert Sheikh since I had received emails, cards and letters letting me know that many of you had not read Delaney and Jamal s story, which is Book 1 of the Westmoreland Series. WRAPPED IN PLEASURE officially goes on sale December 29, 2009, but already I ve received emails from readers letting me know they have their book already from their favorite bookstore. Please pick up an extra copy to share with a friend to introduce them to the Westmorelands! NOTE - The bookstores have ordered limited copies so you might want to call your bookstore and make sure they have enough books in stock for your purchase. Also, because I have a number of new readers, I am working with my publishers to reprint several of my books that were out of print. It is not my desire to confuse those of you who may have the books already, but to make the books available again to new readers. Just in case you aren t sure when it s presented with a different cover if it s a book you already have in your Brenda Jackson library, I will advise you monthly in my newsletter when any of my books that are coming out is a new story or a reprint of an old story. That being said, the following book is being reissued next month in a new and different book cover: PERFECT TIMING If you re not sure if you have this one already, below are the new cover on the left, and the old cover on the right.
