The covers of each of Eloisa's series are being grouped together into gorgeous collectible cards. They are each signed, and some of them have been be-glittered! Currently, Eloisa is offering two cards, one for the Duchess Quartet and one for the Essex Sisters. Please note that we are still awaiting the Essex Sisters cards from the printers, so do not despair with a few weeks wait -- they are on their way! 

Simply send an S.A.S.E to:

Eloisa James signed bookplate
c/o Kim Castillo
PO Box 300
Goshen, IN
46527-0300

These cards are 5"x7", so please make sure your envelope is at least 6"x9". 

A standard first class 45-cent stamp will work to send up to two cards. If you wish for two sets (because your sister/ mother/ cousin/ friend loves Eloisa, too!), you may request more an additional set of cards, but please make sure to stamp your S.A.S.E with 65 cents for the four cards.

So sorry, but these cards cannot be personalized.

Make sure to Like Eloisa's page on Facebook to hear about future series cards. 

One dark and sad day, Eloisa had to throw away the beginning of a novel and start over. What to do in that situation? Why, meet a dear friend for a consolation drink, of course! Eloisa and Linda Francis Lee met at a wine bar, and Linda popped an adorable little duck out of her pocket. Sure enough, by the end of a glass or two of wine, Eloisa knew what her new story was about! Now that little duck swims on Eloisa's desk—and its twin swims on Linda's.

Join Eloisa and Linda in the Lucky Duck Club for special giveaways! Prizes include advanced reader copies and Swarovski duck crystals!

Would you like to see a picture of Fletch (from Affair Before Christmas) or a photo of the nightgown Simeon designed for Isidore in When the Duke Returns?  Those are a few of the newest eggs but there are lots of others, telling you everything from the movie star on whom Eloisa based Jem, the hero of Duchess by Night, and the numbers of babies one couple ended up with!

Eloisa is offering an Easter Egg Cheat Sheet exclusively for registered readers so you can easily find out where all those luscious eggs are hiding! You can track which ones you've already found with the help of our egg tracker. Do you see one here? Remember, the refresh button is your friend! (Technical note: if you find an egg, be sure to disable your pop-up blocker before clicking it -- for PC users that usually means holding down the control key while clicking.)
