It's my birthday!

And I'll apparently forget to post a blog the night before whether I want to or not. Oops!

So I'll just do a quick news update . . . Don't Kill the Messenger is now a finalist for three awards: Bookseller's Best, National Readers Choice and the Prism! I'm completely thrilled. I also got the way good news that Don't Kill the Messenger and Dead on Delivery are going to be re-released next year in mass market paperback. In an interesting twist, they're going to be published by Ace (the science fiction arm of Penguin) rather than Berkley. I'm excited to see what that might mean.

I'v been asked to join a panel on writing paranormal romance at Nationals.

I found two great dresses, one for the Pocket party and one for the Ritas and only need to buy shoes and a purse for one of them.

Oh, and seriously, it's my birthday. I was feeling a little down about it and then my niece pointed out that it's my Gold Rush year. I'm a 49-er, baby!
