Quick update on BREAKING POINT
Authors are always the last to know...Thanks to a tip from a reader, I discovered that the publication date for Breaking Point, my next I-Team story, has been bumped up to May 2011 from July. That's two whole months sooner that you'll be able to read about Natalie's ordeal in Mexico — and how it brings her together with the wounded warrior who needs her every bit as much as she needs him.
Breaking Point is already available on Amazon for pre-order, although they don't have the cover up yet. You'll have to search to find it.
Of course, if I don't finish the book by November 30, I'll lose that publication date. I understand now why my editor wants it absolutely by the end of the month. I'm on Chapter 29. But events at the paper have kept me extra busy. I spent this past weekend with some good friends, and this coming weekend will be shortened due to a wonky special edition deadline that is robbing me of a day off. Yikes!
Send good vibes for a crazy productive week! I'm editing the book on weeknights, trying to get revisions done at the same time that the ending of the novel is percolating in my brain.
In the meantime, I'm thinking up some fun contests, including an I-Team Re-read Challenge and a Get the I-Team Hunks Out of Your TBR and Into Your Bed Challenge.
The first would involve prizes for readers who re-read the first four books just prior to the release date of Breaking Point. The second is about encouraging readers who have the I-Team books buried in their TBR to dig them out, dust them off and read them. Do Julian and Marc really deserve to languish in TBR limbo forever?
Also, I'm going to try to get some apps going. One that comes to mind is "Pin the Canoli on the I-Team Hunk." Thanks to Jenn J, we have the art for that, but it doesn't actually move. So I might have an apps contest, too, to see who can develop the coolest ideas for iPods, iPhones and iPads. (I say this after having played Angry Birds on Libby's iPad. That game is addictive!)
I'd also like to give a shout out to SueZ, Libby and Kristi for being such great friends. We had a blast this weekend, thanks to Sue, who got the ball rolling. Alcohol was consumed. Laughing was epidemic. And I think we had the world's longest Skype session ever with Kristi.
Coming soon:

I can't imagine any I-Team books being in a TBR pile!! They've been read...reread...re-reread in my house. :)I'm catching up on Laura Griffin's Tracer's series, reading Unspeakable right now.
Anne - I'm so excited for Stephanie's second book in that series, out next week I believe!
None of the I-team books sat in a TBR at my house either! Once I read the first one, I immediately ordered the next three. As soon as they arrived, they jumped to the front of the line. I couldn't wait to read them. This is my favorite romantic suspense series. So glad to hear the next one is coming along well. :)
I also have no I-Team books on my TBR except the one that's not out. What is this alien species of reader you speak of?
The minute I get your I-Team books I immediately read it even if I am in the middle of another book.
Sending good vibes you way, so you get time to work on that book! :-)
Sending lots of positive writing vibes your way, Pamela! And don't forget the chocolate and man candy! Essential motivational tools. ^_~BTW, while my I-Team books aren't in my bed, they are in my bedside table for when I need to re-read my favourite bits. I can't seem to let them go yet.
Wow!! This is great news to start off my Monday "moaning" on a very very good vibe. Sending good vibes and whatnot your way Pamela. Hoping & praying that you make the deadline :> (no pressure of course!)And I have to confess, my I-Team books lay in my TBR pile for quite a while before I was "pressured" into reading them because of the rave reviews on GR. And boy, am I glad I did so!! Neither Reece, Julian, Marc nor Gabe deserves to lie in a TBR pile EVER! Since I read e-books, they are safely in my HDD right next to my bed! ^_^
Currently reading Lucky's Lady by Tami Hoag. Indulging in one of the most explosive passion between two characters ^_~
I've heard very good things about Stephanie Tyler's Promises In the Dark. Must give it a go then!
Good luck Pamela!! :>
I loved LUCKY'S LADY! Great book! Enjoy! And thanks so much for the good wishes. :-)Pamela
Thanks for the good vibes, Lady Jayne. I've suddenly come into quite the wonderful supply of chocolates and sexy man chest, which always helps. ;-)Thank you, Cheryl!
Thanks, everyone, for your support and good thoughts. I will do my best to knock your proverbial socks off.

Just finished Stephanie Tyler's latest "Promises In the Dark." Super action-packed suspense with lots of sizzling romance. Truly filled with suspense from the very first page through the last page.
Have a great week!
