Hurry! Hurry hard!
Holy cow, only two weeks until Christmas Eve!!!
On Friday I wrapped up revisions on Lethal Pursuit (Maya and Jackson’s story), the third and probably final installment of the Bagram Special Ops series. I sent it off to my editor and likely won’t see it again for at least a month or two. Hope she likes it! It’s very fast paced and dark, even brutal in spots.
Between now and Christmas I plan to get my holiday preparations finished and hopefully do a bit more drafting of my new R/S project. In early January I have to do heavy revisions (AKA a major rewrite) of my Civil War romance, The Vacant Chair. I have the most gorgeous cover for it but I don’t want to show it until I have a better handle on a release date. The book is due to my editor February 1st, and I’m pretty sure that despite all my work before handing it in, I’ll still have lots of work to do once I get it back from her. *cough*
I’m sure a lot of you are wrapped up in the middle of Christmas madness right now. This coming weekend is my hubby’s staff party. Every year the office goes to a local curling rink, and every year my hubby’s team seems to be pitted against mine in the final. He’s beaten me the last two years, even though I taught him everything he knows about curling. Gah. I have to step up my game!
Cover Reveal
Woot! I just got the final art work for the cover of Tactical Strike, Ace and Ryan’s book, and I love it. If you want to imagine Ryan with a scruffy russet-colored beard though, that’s quite okay by me since that’s how he looks for most of the story. But there is one particular scene at the end of the book where he’s clean shaven (and oh, it’s a steamy one if I do say so myself), so it’s all good. It comes out March 11th!
This weekend is the start of the Christmas madness, and I’m sure it is for many of you as well. Our December calendar is stuffed full. Stuffed, I tell you. Parties, gatherings, concerts, dinners, more parties… You guys should see our house right now. It’s all decked out for the holidays so I’ll try to post some pictures.

Going To Print!
I got the most awesome email today from Angela James, executive editor for Carina Press. She told me that Harlequin has decided to pick up Darkest Caress as one of their June direct-to-customer program titles. So, I’m going to print! Not in stores, though any leftover copies from the program will be available for sale on the Harlequin website, and I get author copies as well. Woot!
I know a lot of my readers don’t love paranormal books, but I’ve received a surprising number of emails asking when the next book in the series is coming out. I feel so torn! I’m working on another single title romantic suspense right now (featuring military contractors in Pakistan), but I’m definitely interested in writing both Cade’s and Vaughn’s stories. Especially Vaughn’s.
I’m about a quarter of the way through the draft of this next book, and Lethal Pursuit (Bagram Special Ops #3) is due to my editor in mid-December. It’s all done, so I’m going to start revisions in early December. In the meantime I hope to hammer out most of this draft.
Read any great books lately? Would love to hear some recommendations.
