Reader's Corner

July 2007

Did you ever have one of those months? You know the ones I’m talking about—the ones you wish you could do over. Well, May was that kind of month for me. Three trips to the doctor, two trips to the emergency room, a raging sinus infection, three rounds of antibiotic, and a broken wrist. Argh.

But that’s the past—all except the wrist, and it’s getting better. I can sorta, kinda type with it now.

The good news is, the cast comes off next week, and I’m scheduled for an upgrade to a wrist brace. Yay! Though I have to admit the cast is pretty. The orthopedic surgeon let me choose the color. It was a toss-up between hot pink and denim blue, but I went with the blue.

On the writing front, the really, really major news is, Something Wicked—that’s the vampire biker dudes book—is scheduled for release from Pocket on July 28th. I joke about those vampire biker dudes, but the truth is, I’m really proud of this book and very excited about its release, even more excited than I was when my very first book came out.

When Borders Group contacted my editor awhile back to ask me to do a reader letter for their e-newsletter, I was thrilled. One thing they wanted to know was if I had a book video they could link to. I didn’t but decided right then to contact the people at Circle of Seven Productions. They put together a clever little book teaser to promote Something Wicked. If you’re interested, follow the link.

The rest of my summer is going to be spent doing book signings and working on my next book, tentatively titled, Dark Reflections, a book that’s loosely connected to Something Wicked  and includes several cross-over characters. I can’t wait to finish, so I can find out how it ends. What? You thought writers knew everything about the story from the get-go? Heck, no. There would be the fun in that?
