We have a date!!! 25 May - don't worry about writing it down. I'll be announcing it from the rooftops. :-) Here's the book description:

Stolen art. Rogue police officers. Drones.

A video call from her dad leads top white-hat hacker Francine to four stolen masterpieces. And to a possible murder—in Brazil. Her frustration at being so far away is turned into anger when her loved ones are attacked and corrupt law enforcement officials stonewall their inquiries.

Blackmail, a kidnapping and a blatant heist in their backyard in Strasbourg reveal a plan to use unregulated drone technology in a daring escape. Francine’s concern for her best friend and her parents’ safety has to take a back seat to her determination to save the lives of bystanders. Together with her team, she will do anything to stop these criminals from executing their brutal plan. If she’s not already too late.

I got The Léger Connection back from my editor (I love her!) and have been very busy polishing book 7 to a sparkling shine. I thought you would enjoy some of the mistakes that slipped past my self-edits:

- 'Vinnie's eye were wide' - because Vinnie, the ogre he is, only has *one* eye. Hee!

- 'The corners of Lieutenant Cardoso are turned down.' - Yup, that man has corners! Should be 'corners of Lieutenant Cardoso's mouth...'

- 'She dropped her hand in her hands.' - Well, sometimes I do wish I had more hands! Should be 'head in her hands'.

- 'Weapons trafficked through Francine.' - Sounds painful. This one slips through at least once in every book. My mind thinks France and my fingers type one of their favourite character's names.

Happy weekend, everyone!! I'll be holed up with Francine and the gang, making sure everyone has two eyes, two eyebrows, one head, etc. :-)

Now for Colin and Vinnie! Which actors do you think would be best in those roles - if there were to be a movie or tv show?

Who do you think would be the perfect Genevieve?

I've been asked by a few readers which actors I would imagine playing Genevieve and her team if ever there were to be a tv series or movie. It's a great question and I think each character deserve their own post - of course, Genevieve goes first. (The others will follow soon)

What/who do I think? I don't know!!!!! Genevieve, Colin, Manny, Vinnie, Francine and the rest are so real in my head that I'm at a total loss finding their 'doppelgangers'. I need your help with this. Can't wait to see your ideas!!

I wrote a blog post about the characters that barged into my books and refused to leave. Can you imagine the books, Genevieve's life, without them?

A lazy weekend - what a lovely, lovely thing! I'm about to go to the movies and indulge in some loud, silly Hollywood. Then back home to continue being lazy. *happy sigh
