A Big Day

Yesterday began with finding this news in my email:



















Lisa Childs is not only a wonderful writer, but a very good friend and one of the Ditzy Chix, so being listed with her is an honor, along with the huge surprise of seeing my title and name on the list!

Then news came that Tucker O'Brien's book has a new title! Look for THE MAVERICK'S REWARD in June 2011.

The next surprise was a review for THE RELUCTANT WRANGLER (October 2010) by Harriet Klausner. Read the full review at The Merry Genre Go Round Reviews. Pat Cooper at Romantic Times gave THE RELUCTANT WRANGLER 4 1/2 stars.

Days like yesterday don't come along often, but they definitely make even the dullest days shine. :)

Book News!

Trying to blog has been about as easy as getting an audience with the Queen, thanks to all the things that pop up whenever I think I've found a few minutes. What with updating websites and designing new ones to working on two new books (more about that later), there never seems to be a quiet minute that hasn't been filled. My fingers are crossed that minute has arrived.

I'm happy to announce that Pat Cooper at Romantic Times Magazine reviewed THE RELUCTANT WRANGLER and gave it 4 1/2 Stars! Available in October, it's the fourth book set in Desperation, Oklahoma, and revisits many of the characters from the four previous books. (Thanks for not giving away Nikki's secret, Pat!)

For those readers who have asked if Tucker will have his own story, the answer is YES! Tucker's story will be released in June 2011. We should have the official title sometime next week, so check back later.

Garrett Miles, City Attorney for Desperation, who was introduced in THE LAWMAN'S LITTLE SURPRISE, will have his own story in the near future. More about that at a later date, as information comes in.

For more on the Desperation books, there's a website page dedicated to the Hearts of Desperation mini-series.


I'll be blogging on the Harlequin American Romance Authors blog tomorrow (September 18), so stop in and leave a comment for a chance to win free HAR books! And you can find me blogging on the 8th and 30th each month at Bits & Bytes: Romance...the Writer's Way, where we talk about writing romance.
