2008

WELCOME TO 2008!

Hello!

Have a seat on the porch swing with me and I'll try to fill you in on the latest news.

My books did well last year, as I've told you before, but it looks as if 2008 is going to be my best year yet! And we're only partway through it.

A TREASURE OF THE HEART has been getting all kinds of national recognition. So far it's been a finalist for the Colorado Romance Writer's "Award of Excellence", the Wisconsin RWA "Write Touch Readers Award", the Greater Detroit RWA's "Bookseller's Best Award" and has received a Holt Medallion "Award of Merit, best Southern Theme" from Virginia Romance Writers. SHADOW OF TURNING joined it for the Wisconsin "Write Touch Readers Award" in the suspense category. I'm plum bumfuzzled – and blessed right down to my toes - as they say around here. ?

March brought my first historical novel, FRONTIER COURTSHIP, and if the local stores are any indication of how it did nationwide, the Love Inspired Historical line is off to a great start! My next one, WILDERNESS COURTSHIP, will be available through the Steeple Hill book club in June and in stores in mid-August. Check out the gorgeous cover on my home page. The art department has certainly been outdoing itself.

What am I working on now? Well, there are already two more suspense novels in the works and I'm about to begin writing two more historical books, so keep your eyes on my website for new covers as I receive them or check out the Internet search engines. I can't believe how often I show up there.

As I've said, it's wonderful writing for Steeple Hill. I have to keep a list posted next to my computer to help me remember all the details but I wouldn't trade my job for anything in the world.

See y'all soon!
