News & Updates

All of What’s New in Eloisa’s World!

For the most up-to-date info about the newest book, what’s coming soon, and more, this page has it all.

A Gift from Eloisa to You!

The best Christmas presents are late (or so we’re saying around here), because Eloisa has one for you: her publisher recorded her reading a short Regency Christmas story that has never been published. Do enjoy—or save the link and watch it next December!

We’re so thrilled to announce that My American Duchess popped back onto the New York Times bestseller list after 2 weeks on and 1 off. Returning to the list only happens when readers share how much they enjoyed a book—it comes from word-of-mouth. Eloisa is blowing kisses to each one of you!

Are you in or around Virginia or Florida? Eloisa is signing books there next month, followed by Las Vegas and Milwaukee—just check out her Events page!

The New York Times reviews My American Duchess!

The New York Times Book Review has ignored the genre of romance — but in a groundbreaking column, My American Duchess has a rave review​, being called “amusing and heart-wrenching.”

Eloisa Central is thrilled to say that the book stayed on the bestseller lists for a second week. If you haven’t read it yet, check out an excerpt right here on eloisajames.com (where we’ve also collected handy ordering links if you still need to get your own copy)

My American Duchess is a Bestseller!

Such great news to share–My American Duchess debuted at #6 on the New York Times bestseller list! Thanks so much to all the readers who dashed out to buy it the first week!

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Goodreads is hosting Romance Week 2016! Stop by to ask your favorite authors your burning questions. I’m there, along with Debbie Macomber, Sylvia Day and Jayne Ann Krentz, to name a few.

My American Duchess in Stores Today!

My American Duchess is in stores now! Smart Bitches loved it, gave it an “A” rating, and said, “I’m happy to report that My American Duchess is amazing…”

If you’d like a signed hardcover or paperback copy, please call Book Culture (212-595-1962). The book launch party was held there last night and they have just a few copies left that I signed before leaving.

My American Duchess Deleted Chapter

My funny, sparky heroine of My American Duchess is engaged when the novel opens—for the third time! This time she’s betrothed to a real English lord (of course, that’s before she meets a real English duke!). Want to read the hysterical chapter in which she accepts Lord Cedric’s hand? Send me your preorder, and we’ll email it to you on February 1st. If you’ve previously sent in your proof of preorder to my team, you’re all set and you’ll automatically receive this chapter also.

Exclusive Christmas Story

My publisher just made a video of me reading aloud a Christmas story that you can’t find in print: want to see/hear it? They’re going to release it as soon as My American Duchess has been added to 5,000 shelves in Goodreads! Please share with your friends….

Not only does Eloisa give away fabulous prizes every month, lately she’s been sharing bits from her work-in-progress, Seven Minutes in Heaven.

We’re so happy to announce that Four Nights with the Duke has been named to Amazon’s Best Books of the Year list, as well as Kirkus’s Best Romance Novels of 2015! Did you know that Eloisa has two bonus scenes from Four Nights with the Duke here on her website? One is a visit with Thorn and India from Three Weeks with Lady X, and the other is every teenage girl’s worst nightmare – the chapter in which Mia is jilted at the altar.
