Angels And Elves – Joan Elliott Pickart

Her laundry tended to, she glanced around for a place to sit. There was a small, cushioned seat against one wall that was the top of a storage box. She’d sat on it in the past, and it was as hard as a rock. No contest. She was declaring first-come-first-served, and claiming the bed.

Forrest could plunk himself on the bench. She took one of the pillows from beneath the spread and placed it against the back wall. Crawling over the bed, she sat straight up, legs extended, facing the room. After checking to be certain her towel was secure, she folded her hands primly in her lap. In the next moment, she decided she looked like a Vic¬ torian maiden on her wedding night. She crossed her an¬ kles, striving for a more nonchalant pose, then stared at her hands, wondering what on earth to do with them.

“A magazine,” she said. “Yes. Perfect.” Hearing the water stop running in the shower, she scrambled off the bed, nearly losing the towel in the process, dashed across the room to snatch a magazine out of a holder mounted on the wall, then hightailed it back to the bed. The towel was straightened, her ankles crossed in a ca¬ sual mode, and her nose was buried in the magazine she held up in front of her face, when Forrest returned to the main room.

“That shower was heaven itself,” he said. “Man, that felt good.” “Mmm,” Jillian said, not looking at him. “These clothes are sure wet, considering we weren’t out in the rain that long.” “Mmm.” “The boat isn’t rocking too badly. We’ll pretend it’s a giant-size cradle.” “Mmm.” Forrest crossed the room and wiggled one of Jillian’s big toes. “Hey, you.” She gasped in shock, and smacked the magazine onto her lap.

Beginning with the Baby Bet series, I am delighted that I will be bringing you my stories using my real name of Joan Elliott Pickart. I hope you’ve enjoyed the books I’ve written for Silhouette as Robin Elliott, but it’s time for Robin to step aside and allow me to come into your homes. I’ve received many letters over the years asking me how I came to choose the name Robin Elliott.

I have three daughters: Tracey, Robin and Paige. As a mother, I could never pick one over the other, so I asked the editors at Silhouette to do it. Since the names Tracey and Paige belonged to other authors, I was told “Welcome to Silhouette, Robin Elliott!”

Many years and many books have passed since that day, and I want to thank you all for your wonderful and continued support. You, the loyal readers, are the ones who make it all possible. All of you— around the country and the world—are very special to me. Warmest regards. Dear Reader, For many years you have known and loved Silhouette author Robin Elliott. But did you know she is also popular romance writer Joan Elliott Pickart? Now she has chosen to write her Silhouette books using the Joan Elliott Pickart name, which is also her real name!

You’ll be reading the same delightful stories you’ve grown to love from “Robin Elliott,” only now, keep an eye out for Joan Elliott Pickart. Joan’s first book using her real name is this month’s Man of the Month. It’s called Angels and Elves, and it’s the first in her BABY BET series. What exactly is a “baby bet”? Well, you’ll have to read to find out, but I assure you—it’s a lot of fun!

November also marks the return to Silhouette Books of popular writer Kristin James, with her first Silhouette Desire title. Once in a Blue Moon. I’m thrilled that Kristin has chosen to be part of the Desire family, and I know her many fans can’t wait to read this sexy love story.
