BelleHello, ReaderFolk!

Duncan in the Backyard


Wow, did I skip some months in there, or what? You know...deadlines and packing (yes, another move, again over the holidays...how clever am I?) and agility trials, and during the last part of the hot months, DuncanHorse colicked badly in the heat and nearly died. Since then, I'm glad to say, he's recovered amazingly well, and meanwhile...

ConneryBeagle went on to finish his AKC Agility MACH! That's a Master Agility Championship and it is a Big Fat Hairy Deal; he's the fourth breed champion Beagle to earn one, and the 20th Beagle ever. We think he is KEEN.

Meanwhile he has posed for a photo full of awww, which I now share with you...

But the books wait for no one! And that makes this a very busy newsletter. Wow. Yes.

The second Reckoners has been submitted and Demon Blade is heading down the home stretch. Wild Thing, Jaguar Night, and Lion Heart are still available, much to my delight, and Wolf Hunt is just about to hit the shelves--mid-December should do it. The first Reckoners book won't be far behind, and is already scooping up reviews.

In a totally unexpected bonus, my earliest Silhouette titles, the Kimmer & Rio Bombshell books, will be available in e-format pretty much momentarily, and are up for pre-order now. I am full of glee! I adore those two characters, and now they're available for the reading again!

excerpt

Nick Carter, Sentinel consul adjutent, runs as a timber wolf--and it shows. But few of his Sentinels know the line he's been walking within compromised Brevis Southwest, and he needs to keep it that way. Uncovering entrenched Atrum Core moles has proved to be a long-term effort, requiring much patience--but it's time to step up the hunt.

Jet is a woman with no last name, because Jet didn't start life as a woman at all. She is an Atrum Core construct, a wolf turned human, roughly educated to Core purposes and turned loose on a mission: Take out Nick Carter...

When the two come together, neither Sentinel nor Atrum Core will be able to predict--or contain--the results.
