Summer

Hi all ! Once again, I've been away from this blog awhile (too long), but I was busy finishing my next Pack novel for Silhouette Nocturne. I have CRY OF THE WOLF coming out in January 2007 and HEART OF THE WOLF in March 2007. So I've been a busy writer.

I also just got back from the Romance Writers of America National Convention in Atlanta, GA. Though I spent a LOT of time in my hotel room writing, finishing up HEART, the convention was great! Very upbeat, very positive. The Literacy Autographing broke all records, something like $67,000 made. Thanks to all of you who stopped by to see my stuffed wolf and to buy my books - great fun! And the Nocturne ARC signing was powerful - though I wasn't signing, the three authors were mobbed. I heard they went through 100 books in 15 minutes! I saw Leslie Wainger and Tara Gaven, plus Patience Smith (who heads up Intimate Moments, the other line I write for!)

I also got to spend a lot of time with my marvelous agent Lucienne Diver. I made new friends (Hi Stephanie Doyle, who writes for Bombshell and Jennifer Skully who writes for HQN - waving madly.) I also got to reconnect with old friends like Delores Fossent (Intrigue) and Rita Herron, Winnie Griggs, Connie Cox, Beth Corneilson, and many, many more.

When I got back, I felt inspired and energized, as well as exhausted .

Above is a picture of Beth, Lucienne, my darling husband Lonnie, and myself at the Harlequin party. A good time was had by all!!
