So…the news is I have a new book coming, this time in the Harlequin Heartwarming series. It’s sweet romance (wholesome and tender according to the Harlequin logo) this time, in a small town. We have a sheriff and the newspaper man who makes her crazy on the case to solve the mystery of who broke in to the town diner. Whether you’re reading Avon (sexy and funny) or HH (sweet and funny), I hope you’ll smile. More info as I have more info. Here are some covers…pretty, right?

You know that thing where there’s an alarm in your head that sounds like a frustrated tea kettle? It squeals long and loud and unpredictably. No? Just me then. Okay. That’s what the last couple of days have been like in my brain. But today I hit Send on the revisions. And I feel good…so good.

Santa, Bring My Baby Back is going to be a sweet, funny wrap-up to a series that has had wonderful characters. There will be more revisions, but I still love this story so I think it’s all going to be even better. And I thank God for editors all over again, people. If you love books, you should too. As a writer, I’m just happy not to do all the lifting alone. It’s wonderful to have help, so much help.

Now…to celebrate. I’m taking a short writing break to read everything I can get my hands on, starting with Things Good Girls Don’t Do. And to watch all the movies. And to just generally clear my  mind. If you have any good novella recommendations, hit me with ’em! I’m in a buying mood.

And tomorrow, I’m going to post some news. Right here. It’s good.

Today…it’s Harlequin Junkie! I’ve got 5 scenes that I love from the book and the answers to my question about romantic places for first kisses is getting some good answers. I’m totally filing them all away. Check it out, enter to win HERE!

And over the weekend I missed two stops. What was I thinking? No idea. Let’s all just blame revisions. This is also why I have no groceries and a snarl in my hair the size of Texas. Saturday’s stop was a guest post about dreaming up the Rock’n’Rolla Hotel. It’s HERE at Flirting with Romance (cute site name, right?).

And on Sunday, Romance Bookworm posted a review (the words “Insert swooning here” might have been included…they were). Check it out HERE. These stops have chances to enter to win a copy of Can’t Help Falling in Love AND Stuck on You! Time keeps on slippin’, people! Enter NOW.
