AUGUST

The next book - WARRIOR'S REDEMPTION is finished and deep in the production process. I've seen the bookcover and can hardly wait to get the go-ahead to share it with you guys. Since it's a departure from the eight books so far, I'm hoping you all love it as much as I do!! This book is a January 2012 release but, as I've shared before, that means it will actually be on shelves a week prior to that... so be looking for it around December 27, 2011.

Winners have been chosen and I'm notifying them this weekend that their books will be in the mail on Monday, Aug. 22.

I've finally created an Author Page on Facebook. Yes, I've had a personal page there for ages and many of you are already my friends there, but both my editor and my agent have encouraged me to make the move to an Author Page so, at last, I have. If you're on Facebook, please stop by and "Like" my page HERE!

I've begun work on the next book. Right now it's tentatively called WARRIOR'S REBIRTH . We'll see if that title sticks. Whose book is it? The hero is someone I've had many emails asking about. Though he has never actually appeared in any of the books, he was mentioned in both A HIGHLANDER'S DESTINY and in A HIGHLANDER'S HOMECOMING . Want to take a guess who he might be??? :-) The heroine is the sister of Malcolm MacDowylt. You'll meet her in WARRIOR'S REDEMPTION .

Okay... time to get back to work. There's a book waiting to be written and characters calling my name!!
