The growing season is here at last and things are starting to sprout and bloom! A time that really gets a writer’s juices pumping (you will note I did not say “sap running” ?). Jim and I have been busy promoting our July release from Dorchester, CHOSEN WOMAN. I have been doing a few guest blogs and appearing locally on writers panels. Click at the bottom of the page to link to my web host, Novel Talk on June 6 when I will be blogging about Native American mystic powers and how they work so beautifully in a romance.

To check out a second excerpt from CHOSEN WOMAN, please click on UPCOMING, where you can read about Jack’s next adventure in the Stanhope’s wacky household. What fun this family was to create! The opening scene between Fawn and Jack is still on the page for those who missed it.

Last time I had a boldface note at the top of the homepage concerning a malfunction in my EMAIL , which hopefully has now been fixed. If, however, you have written to me and have not received a reply, please try again. I really do love hearing from readers and take time to answer each email personally. Just click on EMAIL and send me a message!

Since my recipe pages have been so well received, I have added a light summer dinner: a grilled roast, new potatoes and a mandarin orange salad to refresh your summer palate. For recipes click: Current RECIPES :: Feb 2009 RECIPES

Jim is busy at the library doing research for me right now, but he will have another of his cantankerous newsletters up soon. Keep watch here over the next several weeks when we’ll also have news about our 2010 release and other projects.

As always, my complete reading list is printed at the bottom of this page. PALE MOON STALKER is still in print, as are several other titles. Just click on IN PRINT and you can order. My out of print books are also listed and can be ordered on-line, too.

In the meanwhile, enjoy the warm weather and where ever you go, don’t forget to take a book along for the ride.
