EPIC Award Winner!!!
I'm delighted to announce that THE MERUK EPISODES 1-5 WON in the Anthology category of the 2010 EPIC Awards.
The ceremony took place last night in New Orleans, at the final activities of EPICon 2010.

Meruk is the name of the character in that adventure series, and THE MERUK...

Snow, Snow, Snow -- No!
Aarrggh!!
Are you as tired of this winter as I am?
For a while there, it seemed like every morning, I got up and looked out the window, and there was MORE of that dratted white stuff drifting down.
Thank You, Lord, I don't have to commute to work anymore. Taking the bus was better than driving -- I could work on my computer or read on the bus, and if I was late I could blame the bus and traffic. But still .... *sigh*
The thing is, do I really have any right to complain? I have a lot to be gratefu...

New SUNSINGER cover art
This stuff is so cool. New look, new covers, and continuity.
I'm so stoked over what Laura Shinn and Sandy Cummins over at Writers Exchange are doing with the "look" of my Commonwealth books.
Check out the new cover art for Sunsinger, Book #1 of the Sunsinger series:
Now, just glancing at the covers, you know what universe the book belongs to, and you have a good idea of what period in Commonwealth history the book takes place in.
Check back here for more new cover art in the following days and w...

The Family Way -- February release from Desert Breeze
Coming February 1, a new Tabor Heights, Ohio novel from Desert Breeze Publishing: www.desertbreezepublishing.com
Lisa Montgomery is "in the family way," but her joy is cut short when her father-in-law's domineering, suspicious nature influences her husband, and what should have been the happiest time in their marriage becomes a time of trials and testing and heartache.
Can she break free of the Montgomery family "way" and save her marriage and her heart?
