This & That

Hey folks,

I just thought I’d give you an update on what’s happening this summer. First off, I signed with a German literary agency that requested the German rights for PLAY WITH ME. So with any luck, TEAMWECHSEL will be traditionally published sometime in the future.

Next big day on my calendar is the release date of the German edition of RYAN HUNTER. June 30th … or maybe sooner, who knows? I’ll keep you updated on that one on my facebook site.

In less than a month, my son has to undergo a severe surgery, which needs to be planned, and I’ll also stay at the hospital with him for the entire time. This means I’ll take a break from writing for a while. But once I get back to my desk, I’m going to finish GABRIEL and TONY. Both books should come out in winter, if my plans work out.

Okay, and finally the really, REALLY big news. I’m going to Las Vegas in August!!

The review magazine, InD’Tale, is giving away the RONE Award, and PLAY WITH ME is a finalist. I don’t know if I’m going to win, probably not, but I’m going to be there Wednesday through Saturday and am looking forward to meeting TJ Mackay, the editor-in-cheef of InD’Tale. TJ reviewed and loved my book and she personally invited me to hang out with her and a few other members of InD’Tale; among them Jimmy Thomas, a romance cover model. There’ll be a costume ball, too, can you imagine? I’ll be the sparkling Cinderella in a candy pink ball dress, should you be on the lookout for me.

The entire Romance Novel Convention takes place in the Golden Nugget Hotel in Las Vegas from August 7th through August 11th.

It would be lovely to meet some of you there, too. I’m sure we all are going to have a blast! As for me, I can’t wait! I mean, OMG, look at that pool!! There’s a water slide running though a shark tank!! A. SHARK. TANK. Dammit!

Stay cool this summer!

Cheers and smiles!!
