Howdy!

This is an exciting time--A REASON TO SIN officially goes on sale March 4th! This one, as most of you already know, is the third and final book of my Forrester brothers' trilogy. The middle brother Slater is a professional gambler, but has had a tough life--abused by the family that adopted him, he escaped only to become a thief so as not to starve, then later he survived the infamous Andersonville prisoner of war camp. The walls around his heart are heavily fortified with cynicism and bitterness. However, those defenses are severely strained when he meets Miss Glory Bowen, the Scarlet Garter's new part time singer and full time hurdy-gurdy girl. So check out your local bookstore or let your fingers search the on-line bookstores for A REASON TO SIN. I hope you enjoy it!!

I just finished writing my new book, WHERE THERE'S FIRE and sent it off to my editor. Yippeeeee!! It's the most wonderfulest, grandest feeling in the world to finish a book, yet at the same time it's kind of sad, letting go of those characters after spending months with them. This one is a romantic suspense with a homeless, amnesiac hero called John McClane (yes, just like in the "Die Hard" movies) and a homicide detective heroine who work together to find a deadly arsonist. This one will be released in October.

It's been a crazy winter on the homefront. My husband was in Switzerland for two months helping out his sister who was hit by a car and had both her legs broken. We're glad to report that she's doing well and is even flying back to the states for a visit next month. I stayed home with our menagerie (two dogs and four cats) and discovered that while living in a rural setting is usually heavenly, it can be a trial when the electricity goes off at 3 a.m. and the temperature outside is in the single digits. Brrrrrrrr! As much as I admire the heroines in my books, I'm woman enough to admit I'd have a difficult time living in the old west.

Reminder--be sure to check out my contest page! I'll be giving away autographed copies of A REASON TO SIN, as well as the two previous Forrester brothers books.

Thank you to all who've signed my guestbook or emailed me! I truly enjoy reading your comments and I wish I had the time to answer each of you.

God Bless!
