Dear
Readers,
February has to be one of
my favorite months of the year. Of course, there’s Valentine’s
Day—a great day for romance (and one that my hubby always
remembers!). My birthday also falls in February, and while I
won’t reveal my age here, I do love to have a day that
celebrates me. <g>
This February is extra special for me because I’m ahead of my
writing schedule for the year. Okay, so part of my motivation is
a family commitment I want to take care of without a deadline
hanging over my head. But getting ahead of the game also means
I’m going to get to write another story! Details are sketchy
right now, but it looks as though I’m finally going to get to
write an original Taylor Clan story that readers have been
asking about for years—Sid and Martha Taylor. That’s right, 2010
marks the 10th anniversary of my first Taylor Clan book, ONE
GOOD MAN, and I’m celebrating by writing a novella featuring the
matriarch and patriarch of the Taylor family. Sid and Martha
appeared in all 7 Taylor Clan books as supporting characters,
fending off bad guys, teaching their sons and daughter about a
loving, healthy relationship, surviving heart attacks, giving
wise advice, and serving Sunday dinners to the entire family. So
stay tuned, readers have been asking me for 10 years how all
those Taylors got their start, and later this year, you’ll find
out how. I’m not sure of the exact release date or in what
format it will appear, but I’ll be sure to post it here as soon
as I find out. (I’m guessing it’ll be close to the release of my
October 2010 Intrigue, PROTECTING THE SOCIETY PRINCESS, whose
hero, S.W.A.T. cop Alex Taylor, launches the next generation of
Taylor Clan heroes)
Other news to share? You bet. I just found out that my Harlequin
Blaze, BASIC TRAINING, has been formatted and reissued for the
Kindle at
www.Amazon.com . I
have other Blazes and several Intrigues already up in Kindle
format. So if you love to download books, there are some new
sexy, steamy military romances and Intrigue-ing romantic
suspense books waiting to be read.
Be sure to stop back by my website next month for my Spring Book
GiveAway Contest! To celebrate my newest book, TAKEDOWN
(available March 1 on
www.eHarlequin.com
and April 1 at other retail outlets and sites) coming out, I’ll
be giving away some books. I haven’t decided if I’ll give away
an early-bird copy of TAKEDOWN, or a handful of choices from my
back list of titles. What would you readers like to see for
prizes? Email me to let me know, and I’ll see what I can do to
accommodate you.
What do you think of that sexy cover, btw? TAKEDOWN is a
May-December romance between the captain of KCPD’s premiere
S.W.A.T. team—a single father who knows how to take command of
any situation, including protecting the woman he’s falling for.
Be sure to check out my blog dates on the Contests & Fun page—I
often give away books as prizes there, too.
