I absolutely love Christmas. For me, this holiday has always felt magical. I love looking at my grandchildren’s faces when they come and see the decorations are up. I love that wonder that I get to share through them as they look at the Christmas tree. I love that my family is so giving and thoughtful of others during this holiday and I’m proud of them for the love they have for each other and for people they try to help either families they know don’t have much and they get them something, or perhaps they draw a name off the “giving tree” at one of the stores.
It’s been a challenging year, but together, we’ve worked hard and I’m proud of that work. I had 5 new releases this year and 6 re-issues. There will be even more in 2018. We’ve done Facebook Live events, blogging on GoodReads, giveaways, games and lots of fun throughout the year.
Next year I have 5 NEW books! Judgment Road is out January 23rd and is the first book in my new Torpedo Ink series, which I’m so excited about. Covert Game, Shadow Keeper, Dark Sentinel and Leopard’s Run will all be out next year.
I look forward to the New Year and wish you all a happy holiday and a very wonderful New Year!

The time seems to fly by. It seems like just a few months ago that Judgment Road came out and now we’re just a few weeks from the release of Vengeance Road.



2019 is shaping up to be a busy year. I have 5 new releases-

Vengeance Road
Toxic Game
Shadow Warrior
Dark Illusion
Leopard’s Wrath

And then 2 releases that will be first time in paperback

Dark Sentinel
Toxic Game

Avon will be re-releasing Dark Legend with a new cover late in the year.

And like the re-release of the Drake Sisters with new covers, WalMart will have exclusive covers for 7 of my Leopard series books.

Wild Rain
Burning Wild
Wild Fire
Savage Nature
Leopard’s Prey
Cat’s Lair
Wild Cat

That’s a lot, right? LOL

In 2019 I will be attending the Booklovers Con in New Orleans BookLoversCon and Lori Foster’s Author-Reader Get Together in Ohio Reader & Author Get Together. I wish I could do more events, but as you see from the list above, it’s a busy year. I write one book per series, per year, so that means FIVE books! I’m tired just thinking about it! LOL






I want to thank everyone who has supported my books. I made bestseller lists for each of my new releases and I know it’s because of my readers and their enthusiasm that the word gets out there. So, thank you!

Thank you to the bloggers, reviewers and those of you on social media who share information about my books.

I’ve loved meeting new people via my social media. I love reading comments. It feeds the soul to have fun on my social media.

Tell me what you’re looking forward to the most in 2019! Not just books, but anything at all!

Happy New Year!

So much is happening in 2020!

I'm releasing 6 new books this year!

The holidays have always been about family for me. I have a very large family and we would get together over the holidays and exchange gifts, eat and play games.

Of course this is 2020 and part of our celebrating is that it’s about to be over. Lol

A challenging year to say the least. This Christmas many of us will be alone. We’ll be celebrating using Zoom or Skype or some other online meeting site. For many of us it won’t be the same. But, we will be together in spirit. We will get to talk and visit online. And as long as we are healthy and hanging in there that’s a good way to spend the holiday.

I’m already hopeful for 2021. I have 5 new books coming out and I can’t wait! Lightning Game and Shadow Storm both add to the mythos of those series. Murder at Sunrise Lake is my first official murder mystery. Reckless Road is different from the last few Torpedo Ink books in that it has more paranormal in it so I’ll be interested to see how readers respond to that. And of course, there is Dark Tarot and no I don’t know who the hero is just yet but I’ll start writing that book very soon.

I hope 2021 is full of hope, good health and joy for everyone. I wish you all a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

First let me say that I’m glad 2020 is behind us! And I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

I’m not really one to do a New Year’s resolution. I’m resolved to be better every year! But I would love to know if you’ve made one!

2021 is exciting for me. I just started writing Dark Tarot this week and am so excited about it!

We have a lot going on this year. More new books, some re-issues, special covers and giveaways.

Now, let me know your plans for 2021!

I just hit 50,000 followers here on Goodreads! I’m so excited! I’ve been on Goodreads since February of 2013. I’ve met and interacted with so many amazing readers. I’ve been invited to meet the wonderful people at Goodreads in San Francisco. I’ve met great people there. I’d like to give a special think you to Mimi Chan who has such enthusiasm and a true love of books, authors and readers.




First, let’s reflect a bit.





The year has just flown by. 2022 was a challenge.
I love that readers gave Savage Road a chance and that the book did even better than I expected. Thank you! The fact that this book hit so many bestseller lists just blew me away.

Phantom Game was so fun to write. I appreciate reader following along in this very different direction for the series. Just wait until you read Ghostly Game!
Shadow Fire took us to our first non-Ferraro hero – Eli! The arranged marriage trope is a favorite and this couple ended up such a power couple.

Red on the River was the next in my romantic thriller series. I learned a valuable lesson with that book – I am NOT a good card player. LOL

Dark Whisper allowed me to take some new turns with this series. I got to go back to the Lycans, which I really enjoy.

And then Leopard’s Scar was a surprise even to me! I thought I knew who I was going to write about and then two very new characters came out demanding their story be told first! LOL

2022 was special for a lot of reasons but for me I was extremely proud that this was my son, Brian Feehan’s, first book release- Harmony of Fire. I really enjoyed doing some promo together. We did interviews and went to Hawaii for an event. So much fun!



Now let’s look into the crystal ball toward the future!
I’m hopeful that 2023 will be even better.




Brian has a new book coming out Feb. 21st called Harmony of Lies. I’m so excited for him! He is now a USA Today bestselling author and I hope readers will discover him. His series is so different! And if you'd like a signed and personalized copy of Harmony of Lies you can find it at Gallery Bookshop!



My 2023 line up has new releases, re-releases with new covers and mass market releases!




Recovery Road is my first new release of the year. It will be out January 24th. This is Master’s book and it was a bit surprising for me as well.

Ghostly Game brings us back to Team 3 in San Francisco. I’ve never written a GhostWalker novel quite like this one and I’m so curious as to what my readers will think. That book will be out May 2nd.

Shadow Dance will be released Aug. 22nd. At least tentatively. When the release dates are this far out they are always subject to change. This book takes us to the New York Ferraros where Geno, the head of the family in New York, is our hero. Not to worry, you’ll still see some of our Chicago family.

Dark Memory is the next Dark/Carpathian novel, and it will be released, tentatively, Oct. 3rd. We’re still with the ancients. I’m about to start work on that book very soon.
I am hoping to attend some events this year but can’t really say which ones just yet.

For those of you who have been waiting for a new Carpathian Guide, we hope to that that up in 2023! If you've never seen the guide you can see it on my community. Sign up here.

If you’re still reading this rather long blog, thank you.

To celebrate the milestone 50,000 followers here on Goodreads I thought I’d do a giveaway here from my blog.
