Good Luck to Us All in the New Year!
Friday, January 1, 2010

The past year has seen both the re-release of my first novel, A Band of Roses, and the Christmas Eve debut of the sequel, Fiery Roses. Not bad! I also wrote a novella entitled By the Light of My Heart, which will appear in the forthcoming anthology, The Mammoth Book of Irish Romance. Click here to see the gorgeous covers and read an excerpt or two.

What about 2010? Early in the year, I'll finish Salty Roses, the third book in the "Roses" trilogy. I should have the first chapter posted on my web site soon. I'm thinking of trying something different and may give the Young Adult genre a try. If in the process I make as many new and wonderful friends as I have over the last year, I will consider myself blessed. And I hope to visit Ireland once or twice.

I wish you all health, happiness, and prosperity. Happy New Year, everyone!
