I’m busily working away on upcoming books, researching communes, organic farming, shopping malls and making dollhouses for two different SuperRomances.

(Did you know that shopping malls make money on Santa and his elves? That the early-morning senior walkers cause more trouble than they’re worth? That mall management doesn’t have keys to any of the stores?)

I have the best job. I get to find out tons of cool stuff and meet amazing experts and get paid for it, too. Well, not exactly paid for it, but you get the idea.

It’s almost too good to be real. Am I dreaming? Pinch me. Ouch. I’m awake, all right. And, for all the luxury of setting my own hours and working in cutoffs and bed head, there are the agonies, too--the plot snags, the unlovable characters, Dead Brain Syndrome, the angst of self-doubt. Every career has its ups and downs, right? I wouldn’t change a thing. Well…maybe that Dead Brain deal….

My next four books will be for Harlequin’s SuperRomance line, which is new for me. I’m liking the emotional complexity and intricate plots I can fit into the longer length. Upcoming books have the working titles A HOME FOR CHRISTMAS and A HOME FOR LOVE. Can you guess my themes?

When the books are officially titled and scheduled for release, I’ll let you know on my blog, which you can see here. Check back frequently since I’ll be updating it often.

In the meantime, since my next releases are far in the future, I’m offering a cool contest opportunity to bring in new readers! Check it out.

If you’re a social networker, you can read about my travails and triumphs at Facebook , MySpace, Twitter, eHarlequin, and, now and then, on group blogs for SuperRomance, Blaze and Deadline Hellions. Lots of chit-chat, eh?

Elsewhere here, you can learn about me, read about or buy books, and sign up for my on-line newsletter, which will let you know when a new book is out.

Here’s to all the reading pleasure you can stand.

All my best,
