Wowza. I have received over a dozen emails in the last few days asking virtually the same question:

When is *insert book title here* coming out?

Let me state that I always answer my email, so that isn't the issue. Rather I realize some people might visit my website and see what's "coming soon" but have no idea when coming soon is. For that reason I'm going to let you in on what you can expect this year, barring any interference.

The Ripple Effect: I'm working on this. It's revised but has to be finished. As soon as it's done it will go to my editor and I'll get a solid release date. If I get off my ass it should be summer or early fall. This series is the most difficult for me to write, so it takes longer to complete the manuscripts.

Enemy Mine: Another book I'm currently writing. To answer the primary question -- this is Mary and Emory's book. The next, Vampire Mine, is Trey and Sadie. So fear not, you'll get your fix. Enemy Mine should release in the spring.

Then we have contracted books that will release in 2012 but haven't been started: Vampire Mine, Make Me Surrender, and Twisted In Knots. These books are on my calendar to be written. They are contracted and will be turned in next year. I'm hoping to release at least one book everything 2-3 months. As for Edge of Darkness (Rhiannon's Law, Book Four) -- it's not contracted so I'm not sure of the time frame. It all depends on sales.

So there you go, a rough estimate of my releases next year. I'm going to be extremely busy but hopefully the payoff will be worth it. I will be taking a break to attend two conventions this year: Romanticon and Lori Foster's. I'll be sure to share more info as the dates get closer.

Back to work for me! Happy Hump Day!

Wowza!! So hard to believe Christmas is here. My kiddos are super happy. We managed to give them an awesome Christmas this year, and I can't thank you enough for making that happen. Due to your support of my work, we were able to do things for them we couldn't last year. So THANK YOU!!

Today I'll be running ragged going from one home to the next. I'm looking forward to spending time with my family. Some of them drive into town once per year and it's the only chance I get to see them. For that reason I adore Christmas. There's nothing like family.

I did want to let you know that next week I'll be gung-ho working. I'm over halfway done with The Ripple Effect and Enemy Mine. I'll wrap those up soon. Until then I do have a few books you can check out if you haven't done so (and are interested), including Make Me Shiver which is now on Kindle! Check out the blurbs and links below. All purchase sites are listed on the webpage, so it's as simple as clicking a button to venture over to the retailers.

Again, Happy Holidays. I'm sending you all tons of hugs and love.



A special excerpt is on the website for Make Me Shiver now. It's rated R, so keep that in mind. You can read the excerpt by clicking HERE . As a side note, the book is 53k words, so it's not a short story. It is a novel.



If you haven't read Omega Mine, now's your chance. It's pretty steamy and not for youngsters. A blurb is also on the website and you can read it by clicking HERE . This book is a novel plus, complete at around 86k words.



This is a short story that will have a full length follow up -- Twisted In Knots. I really enjoyed Zeke and Diane and can't wait to revisit them. You can read a blurb on my website HERE. Keep in mind the story is a Quickie and complete at around 9k words.

On a side, I have received a release date for Crimson Sunrise. It will be available on May 18, 2012. I apologize for the delay but hope the book is worth the wait. Thank you again for your patience. My hope is to return to the series and write the last book sometime next year. And for those who asked, I will be returning to The Desires of the Otherworld series soon. I've also contracted someone to put Eternity and a Day in print, so you should be hearing more about that soon.

Again, Merry Christmas. 2011 was a great year but I'm hoping 2012 is even better. I'm sending you tons of virtual hugs and cookies. Have a wonderful day with your friends and loved ones. I'll be back with another update soon.

All My Best!

There are a lot of books coming out this year I'm looking forward to -- especially the one pictured above (isn't that cover smokin'?). I love Joey W. Hill and I'm certain this series will be as good as her other works. This got me to thinking: What books are YOU looking forward to this year?

I know most people want the newest J.R. Ward (I have the last book but need to read it) as well as some upcoming young adult novels, etc. Although I don't need to add to my bookshelves (I really, really don't) I'm asking for suggestions. So the floor is open -- what books should I read this year? I like all genres but prefer romance, urban fantasy, young adult, and horror.

Now it's time to return to work. Hope you all are enjoying the first day in the new year.
