Connery yodelHello, ReaderFolk!

cactus Did you miss me in January? We-elll...you know how sometimes there's so much news that there's no chance to talk about the news? That would be January!

Much of it was settling into the new environment after the big move, of course--as you can see, we've traded sunsets for cactus. We're also discovering local agility training options, the Rio Grande bikeway, horsekeeping on a smaller footprint, and the joys of "What was I thinking when I packed that, THERE?"

The writing zooms forth in the midst of it all! Sentinel: Jaguar Night races toward its May release date and so does the Nocturne Bite, Wild Thing. I'm even heading toward the home stretch of Wolf Hunt, the third Nocturne! And of course Ghost Whisperer: Ghost Trap will hit the shelves very soon now...



Scent of Danger In the meantime, SCENT OF DANGER is enjoying some great debut months. It's already into second printing, and has been picked up for a large print edition and a paperback edition; both are out later this year.

Excerpt

Yes! It's available for Order!

Dale Kinsall considers himself adjusted to his new location--to the eccentric nature of his clinic staff, to the altitude and climate of the high desert, to his new role in his community. The vet who solved the eco-murders. Of course, he doesn't anticipate the threatening series of bizarre rhyming notes on his desk, or the cavalier attitude of the local cops who are embarrassed that they didn't solve those particular eco-murders. Soon enough, everything's happening at once: the clinic is upside down over renovations, Laura's nephew is deathly ill, and then Laura herself is hit by the same feared virus shortly before Dale is blindsided in a brutal attack. Dale is the only one who thinks it might not all be coincidence...but everyone else pretty much thinks he's nuts.

Everyone but Sully Beagle, that is. For Sully knows cookies, and he knows what's his...and he knows the scent of danger.


Hidden Steel HIDDEN STEEL has new news! It's been picked up for an audio edition, which will be out later this year!  No wonder I think of this book as the Bombshell that could...
