Happy Holidays everyone. I don't know about you, but I think 2011 has been a great year for books. There are so many good ones out there, and so many I have yet to get to. I have them on my To-read list on Goodreads if you're interested in knowing what books have me so tempted to get sidetracked from my writing zone! I'd like to complain, but I think it's a good thing:).
Speaking of my writing zone, I have some great things coming. I'm working very hard on the last book from The Pace Series. I want the series to end just right, so it may take me a little time to figure it out! If you know their story already, then you can imagine the challenge of giving them the ending they deserve! I'm also super excited to follow The Pace's 2012 release in Germany. Here's the cover! I love the mood of it and it was pretty cool to see an image of Wes for the first time! I've got some great international giveaways planned for this book, so stay tuned. If you're a blogger in Germany and would like to host any, please send me an email :).

Lastly, I'm thrilled to be releasing a BRAND NEW book following the story of two new characters who are equally dear to me as Sophie and Wes. If you like The Pace Series, you won't want to miss the new one. Announcements, summaries, cover...all coming VERY soon. Stay connected on Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads or my mailing list to stay updated!
As always THANK YOU for your interest in my books. I promise some great stuff for 2012. Have a great holiday season and God bless :).

This has probably been the most exciting start to spring I've ever had. It began with receiving my proof copy of The Syndicate. I always look forward to opening the mail and seeing my words in print for the first time, and now I can not wait to hear what you think.
Then, after I got my proof copy in the mail, I took my kids to the beach for a few days on their spring break. They enjoyed themselves which is always the point. They rule my free time! But something else happened that I wasn't expecting. I got to spend a couple hours in solitude reading my newly received proof copy. And this was my view. I can not tell you how relaxed and refreshed I felt after that morning. I was energized, and ready to face whatever the following busy weeks sent my way.
From there, I came home with a smile on my face and to another box literally waiting on the steps. And this is what was inside. My copies of the German translation of The Pace. They are beautiful. The cover feels like old, thick parchment paper and are just really nicely done.
The coolest part for me is trying to read them and how cool is this? Look at Sophie and Wes' letters! Add these to the wonderful 70 degree weather in Virginia right now, and I'm feeling pretty inspired to dive into the rest of 2012 with lots of writing and some great summer reads :)!
