What's New

Hello!

OMG, an update that actually gets posted on the first day of the month! *gasp-o-shock*

Heheh, okay, seriously...this is going to be a busy month. I have a science-fiction novel I'll be working on, a time-travel short story to complete, and 3, yes 3, manuscripts to edit, all in pretty much the same time-frame. So I figured I'd get this update out of the way as soon as possible.

...I do have one special thing planned for some point in this month. On some warm, sunny day (possibly even a hot one), I intend to *gasp* get out of my house, spread a blanket somewhere on the back lawn (probably under a patch of shade, knowing me), lie down upon it, and stare up at the sky. Yup. Actual, official, summertime cloud-gazing. If you have the opportunity to do so, and you live in a hemisphere where the ambient temperature and weather permit it, I suggest doing it. We don't stop to do these sorts of things anymore in our adult lives....

Anyway, here's the schedule of book releases:

August: THE SONG, fantasy-romance, The Berkley Group, mass-market release

August: DES KUSS DER WOLFES, fantasy-romance, RandomHouse.de, hardback

August: DIE SÖHNE DER INSEL, fantasy-romance, RandomHouse.de, mass market

November: THE SHIFTING PLAINS, fantasy-romance, The Berkley Group, trade paperback

November: "Gifts of the Magi", AN ENCHANTED SEASON, fantasy-romance anthology, The Berkley Group, mass market release

December: THE CAT, fantasy-romance, The Berkley Group, mass market

April: BEDTIME STORIES, erotic fairy tales anthology, The Berkley Group, trade paperback

Unspecified-as-yet release date: "Steam" (working title), THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF TIME-TRAVEL ROMANCE, Robinson, trade paperback

While you're waiting for all these books, both old favorites and new, to be released in bookstores, may I suggest remembering to drink plenty of water as summer progresses? Or even drink water if you're currently experiencing winter down south? (Water not only helps keep you cool through perspiration in the summer--don't forget a little bit of salt and a tiny pinch of sugar, too, to keep your electrolyte levels good--it also helps burn fat to keep you warm in the winter!)

Be safe, have fun, and enjoy a good book or two,
