It feels great to write THE END

Yes, I actually do write THE END and the conclusion of a book. It's a cliche, maybe, but just the process of doing it is like putting the star on the top of a decorated and lit Christmas tree.

I have Christmas on the brain, as I just came from a Kavanaugh family Christmas, having finished the fourth book in the Home to Harbor Town series from Harlequin Special Edition. It's Deidre's book. I found it to be a story about the grace of forgiveness, the value of counting your blessings…and of course, passionate, heart-thumping romance.

I've been so busy–and will probably continue to be well in to the New Year. I am happy to announce that Everett's book–the second novel in the One Night of Passion series by Bethany Kane, is coming out in 2012. (Remember Katie's gorgeous, quirky super-celeb brother Everett Hughes?) I'm also thrilled to announce that I'll be doing two E-specials for Berkley next year, both of them novellas, and both of them set in the One Night of Passion world of the odd-ball, lovable town of Vulture's Canyon where Katie and Rill Pierce have set up house. Katie and Rill found their happily-ever-after following a night of impulsive, wild lust. It seems that several other couples are bound to find their own forever romance on a similar route.

I hope you guys are gearing up like I am for the big upcoming Silken Rapture contest! It'll be fun, with so many daily talented authors, giveaways, and not to mention a grand prize of a free Kindle! It starts November 8, so be sure to stop by my blog!

Happy Halloween, everyone!
