4/26/08: I've finally added the cover blurb for the 13th installment in my Troubleshooters series, INTO THE FIRE, to my home page, updated my FAQ page and my appearances page (About time!) My excuse is that I've been writing, writing, writing!
I've got another exclusive short story and writing workshop (Tall, Dark & Believable: Writing compelling romance heroes) coming out in my FREE Into the Fire Extras booklet, which will be available at the Romance Writers National Conference in San Francisco in July, through my virtual signing for Into the Fire, and via an internet PDF download.
I'm on the verge of starting to write Troubleshooters book number 14, working title Dark of Night. This book is something a little different for me -- it's more closely connected to the previous book in the series, Into the Fire -- in fact, the action in Dark of Night begins on the very day that Into the Fire ends. I'm going to be writing that book over the summer (I won't be doing any touring for Into the Fire so that I can use the time to write), and we hope Dark of Night will have a February 2009 release date. (Stay tuned for updates!)
The other big news is that my plan is to have a second release in 2009. An as yet unnamed sixteenth installment in my Troubleshooters series will feature reader favorites Sam & Alyssa -- and the return of a certain serial killer known as "the Dentist" that Alyssa has been after for years. We're all hoping that this book will have an August 09 release. (Again, watch my website for updates!)
ALSO on 4/26/08... I have some extra copies of my FORCE OF NATURE Extras booklet!
U.S. residents can get a free copy of this 68-page promotional booklet by sending a LARGE self-addressed 8 x 10 envelope with $2.16 in postage affixed to:
FON Extras Booklet
PO Box 5092
Wayland, MA 01778
Please allow several weeks for delivery!
(Sorry we can't offer a hard copy of this booklet for non-U.S. readers. But you can download a PDF -- just keep in mind that the file is huge -- 70 pages, including the cover art, so I recommend, at least to AOL users, that you access the file via Internet Explorer. Download the FON Extras PDF file now!)
3/3/08: I've updated my appearances page and my home page!
The reissue of FREEDOM'S PRICE is in bookstores!
I've finished writing the first draft of INTO THE FIRE, the next Troubleshooters installment, due out on July 29, 2008! (Cover art and the blurb for the book will be coming soon!)
Yeah, I know you didn't ask, but... We're approaching what I believe is The Most Important Ever election in U.S. history, the primaries in Ohio, Texas, Vermont and Rhode Island are fast approaching, and I just... can't... not... comment. (Please read the end of the previous sentence with your best William Shatner as Captain Kirk impression.) I know most readers don't come to an author's website to have said author's political opinion shoved down their collective throats, so I'm putting the link to My Political Opinion (or why I'm going door to door, canvassing in Rhode Island for Barack Obama) here, on my What's New page. If you're curious and interested, please click on the link. If you'd prefer to keep politics out of your reading entertainment, (and you have every right to do so) please don't click on the link.

My "novella" is longer than PRINCE JOE by about 50 pages, so it's not really a novella -- we're just calling it that because it's a little different from my other Troubleshooters books!)
