EDGE OF SURVIVAL cover & As We Were Saying interview
Today I'm flattered to be interviewed by the Greater Fort Worth Writers on As We Were Saying. Leave a comment and you might win a copy of STORM WARNING.
And now I can finally reveal the cover for my next release, check it out below.
EDGE OF SURVIVAL (November 21st, 2011, from Carina Press) Foreword by Brenda Novak
Dr. Cameran Young knew her assignment wouldn't be easy. As lead biologist on the Environment Impact Assessment team, her findings would determine the future of a large mining project in the northern Canadian bush. She expected rough conditions and hostile miners—but she didn't expect to find a dead body her first day on the job.
Former SAS Sergeant Daniel Fox forged a career as a helicopter pilot, working as far from the rest of the human race as possible. The thrill of flying makes his civilian life bearable, and he lives by his mantra: don't get involved. But when he's charged with transporting the biologist to her research vessel, he can't help but get involved in the murder investigation—and with Cameran, who awakens emotions he's desperate to suppress.
In the harsh and rugged wilderness, Daniel and Cameran must battle their intense and growing attraction while keeping ahead of a killer who will stop at nothing to silence her…
My heroine has diabetes and I'm donating 15% of my royalties to diabetes research.

New Sport: Extreme Gardening
Taking 4 potentially dangerous trees down this weekend. Very sad. Very naked back yard. Better go help chomp (and yes, I mean chomp :)).

The Last Crop?
Glad I didn't misspell the title of this post :) I pulled these babies off the vine this morning, despite a frost last night. I have lots of green tomatoes left on the vine and I think we're going to make chutney again. I also have lots of leeks in the ground. Anyone know when I should pull these? They've been in since the ground defrosted and are still teeny weenie. Leek experts needed!

Fall=Busy Life=Good
In some ways I hate this time of year. It's so busy, there is so much to do after the unstructured (although equally productive) summer. Now we have soccer, indoor soccer, piano, swimming, school events, school, and occasionally an adult social life (not that kind of adult social life), and things just get crazy.
Then there's the weather, the inching toward winter thing (which is slightly doom inspiring, but never as bad as I fear). And at least this year it is a slow inching, as opposed to waking up one morning with naked trees, then waking up the next with a layer of snow on the ground and a city-full of people thinking 'how do I drive on this stuff again?'
And writing-wise? I am waiting on two full manuscript submissions and I'm working on my Snow Leopard manuscript which doesn't even have a proper name. I'd initially called it GHOST OF THE MOUNTAIN but then saw that because this is a term used for snow leopards there are several famous books already called GOTM and as the leopards aren't the true focus of the story, family betrayal is, I don't think it'll fly.
I have great plans to pull out and dust off another 3 older manuscripts and polish some more partials aimed toward Harlequin Intrigue all before Christmas. That seems reasonable, right? Big grin.
Then there's a lot of up coming promo to sort out for my new release in November. EDGE OF SURVIVAL (and I have a cover but not permission to share it yet :).
Also--this is one of those BIG alsos--I'm compiling a photobook of our sabbatical in France/UK/Canada. I've done France, England, About 2/3 of Scotland and we're up to about 130 pages worth. This thing is morphing into one of those projects that never ends. It's going to be beautiful but Gah! My aim is to get it done for Christmas. This is the last picture I uploaded--Dumgoyne.
Wish me luck. And send cookies...

Not the best weekend...
Most of you have seen this on FB. Needless to say, it didn't make for a great end to 'date night'.
